The poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote of Thor:
"I am the God Thor,
I am the War God,
I am the Thunderer!
Here in my Northland,
my fastness and fortress,
reign I forever!
Here amid icebergs
rule I the nations;
This is my hammer,
Milner the mighty;
Giants and sorcerers
cannot withstand it!"
Invocation to Thor
Hail, Thor, Lord of the Hammer!
Lord of the Storm, rumbling chariot
That tears across the sky,
Lord who speaks plainly
And has no time for intrigue
And subtle ploys,
Protector of the common man,
Warrior beloved by farmers,
Help us to untwist our tongues
And speak the fiery truth
Hurled blazing like a hammer-bolt
Across the open sky!
Song: Hail Thor, Lord of Thunder

Said by Gothi/Gythia
Great Thunderer, who rides in a chariot drawn by goats,
You who guard the bounds of Middle-Earth, who drives the frost giants back to their dark realm,
Keeper of oaths, you are there when the man and the maid plight their troth, you are there when the thain swears fealty to the lord,
You whose great hammer destroys the foes of mankind and of all life,
You touch the earth with swift lightning, and the soil grows fertile, the seed sprouts when the harvest is sown,
You whose mighty voice is heard across the sky, protector, defender, whose rune is most mighty to preserve,
Hail Thor!
Gothi/Gythia pass around horn, each person making their toast.
Said by Gothi/Gythia
We give great honor to Thunor!
Bane of World Serpent,
the one who struggles
against the bonds of eternity.
You are the one who never abandons,
any who call upon your name
in time of trouble or crisis.
Your strength and hammer might
keeps at bay
the primal chaotic energies known as Etins,
those who envy the goddesses’ and the gods’ immortality.
Those beings and creatures who would plunge Midgard
into darkness and ice.
You are our defender
against those who have overstepped their boundaries.
Those who give you honor are never abandoned;
to call upon your name just once is to dwell in Truthheim,
even in this life.
Thus we honor Thunor!
Hail Thor!
