Thor
Norse god of thunder, son of Odin, most popular among common folk. Protector of both gods and humans against giants and chaos. Wields Mjolnir, his mighty hammer, which hallows and protects. Known for immense strength, courage, and straightforward nature.
No native Norse planetary rulership exists: the planetary correspondence is the interpretatio romana / weekday reading (Mercury=Odinn, Jupiter=Thor, Mars=Tyr, Venus=Freyja/Frigg, Sun=Sol, Moon=Mani), not an ancient Norse attribution.
