Thunder as punishment. Daoist services call the Thunder Department; folk practice fears the strike. Not a gentle weather saint.
Thor
Cult sites: Uppsala temple beside Odin and Freyr, Wayside hammers and holy oaks more than a single great fane.
Festivals: Thursday observances, Hammer-blessings of marriages and land.
The most popular of the North's gods in the settlement period. Miniature hammers, Thursday, and oak. He fights giants and blesses the farm. Adam puts him in the high seat at Uppsala; farmers put him over the door.
Lei Gong
Chinese Pantheon
The god of thunder who punishes evildoers and hidden crimes with his thunderbolts. He appears as a fearsome creature with a bird's beak, claws, and blue skin, carrying drums that create thunder.
Lei Gong was appointed by the Jade Emperor to administer divine punishment through thunder. He beats his cosmic drums to create thunder and hurls thunderbolts at evildoers, working with the Ministry of Thunder to maintain cosmic justice.
Lei Gong is the terrifying god of thunder, charged with punishing evil and executing divine justice. His thunder announces the wrath of Heaven against those whose crimes have escaped human judgment.
Son of Odin and the earth goddess Jord. God of thunder, lightning, and storms. Protector of mankind and the gods, wielding the mighty hammer Mjolnir.
Thor was born to Odin, the Allfather, and Jord, the personification of the earth itself. This union of sky and earth made Thor one of the mightiest beings in existence. From birth, he displayed incredible strength - as an infant, he could lift ten loads of bearskins. He grew quickly into the powerful protector of both gods and mortals. He married Sif, the golden-haired goddess, and with her had a daughter named Thrud. With the giantess Jarnsaxa, he fathered Magni and Modi, who will inherit Mjolnir after Ragnarok.
Thor is the defender of Asgard and Midgard, wielding the mighty hammer **Mjolnir**. Unlike the cunning Odin, Thor is straightforward, strong, and short-tempered, but fiercely loyal.
