There's this single line in War of the God s, and if you didn't look at it right, you'd just read thoughtlessly past it, but an important aspect of the Norse cosmological worldview turns inside it: " Thunder rolled, unseen wheels.

Since t hen he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the  Map of Midgard  project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay.   If you have e mployment/ opportunities in  investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer,  do contact him .

Tanngrisnir & Tanngnjóstr front the God of Thunder's battlewagon! Those red goaty eyes are not messing around. And one imagines with them doubling as livestock that gets repeatedly necromanced back to life the next morning after serving as Thor's dinner, they must be quite beyond all fear of death, and would charge anything.
