By Uncle Thor
Understanding of the Gods is mostly intuitive. Reading and poking through old lore may give us some ideas, but the experience is a matter of feelings. This does not minimize the place of the Gods. It only indicates where we experience them the most.
You can read that Thor is a God of power and might, a protector of the people. That is small change compared to the feeling that Thor inspires. Through your ability to feel can you know a generous, expansive, grand spirit that is jovial and confident. Thor is understood better through feelings than through a purely intellectual description.
