Thor Lives! – The True Outcome Of Thor Contra Jormungandr , Illuminated Via Indra’s Exile

Earlier yesterday evening I happened to the capped/linked post from a twitter handle - "Christians Posting Ws" - which bore the legend "Thor : Dies from serpent poison", with direct comparison to Christ in a manner that you can probably surmise. And I feel it worthy of comment. Not because of the usual "Pagan-Christian animosity" … Continue reading Thor Lives! – The True Outcome Of Thor Contra Jormungandr , Illuminated Via Indra’s Exile
