I actually got some washing on the line today! The weather has been abysmal for so long I've not had a day where I could get it out there without a risk of rain (and we all know what happened last time there was a '10% chance of rain', don't we...)
Last night's left-over curry for lunch, and the rest of #Thor#LoveAndThunder that I fell asleep to last night (not cos it was shit, just cos I was tired!)
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, whatever you are up to. 🙂
You may know well #Thor, the #Norse god of Thunder—but have you head about Perun?
He is often depicted as a powerful, bearded man wielding a hammer or axe. His domain included the sky, where he controlled the weather and protected the earthly realm from evil forces.
In #Slavic belief, thunder was thought to be the sound of Perun striking his enemies with his thunderbolts. As a deity associated with war, Perun was also considered a guardian of justice and order, punishing evildoers and upholding moral law. His cult was widespread among the early Slavic tribes, and he was one of the most important gods in their pantheon.
Perun's importance declined with the spread of #Christianity in Eastern #Europe, where he was often equated with Saint Elias due to their shared associations with thunder and lightning. Nonetheless, Perun remains a significant figure in Slavic folklore and cultural heritage, symbolizing strength, protection, and the forces of nature.

Ride Of The Iron Horse
In terms of personality and spectacle, THOR always warranted more than a footnote in heavy metal's written history. Led by rock 'n' roll diehard and body building champion Jon Miki Thor, the Canadians emerged from the fertile '80s metal scene with a sound that sat comfortably between MANOWAR and TWI...
In Norse #mythology, #Thor is the god associated with storms, lightning, and thunder. Similarly, in Roman mythology, #Jupiter assumed a comparable position as the god of the sky and thunder. #Thursday was attributed to Jupiter, a tradition adopted by Germanic peoples as well. Additionally, ancient Albanians also adhered to this cultural practice of linking Thursday to the deity of fire.
I crocheted Thor and Loki helmets for my kid and her friend to wear for Halloween in high school. Various thrifted yarns, including some metallics I rarely use, which was fun. #crochet#costume#Thor#Loki#Halloween
This is another weird one. Much like the Bubble Nebula, Thor's Helmet nebula formed around a highly energetic Wolf Rayet star but has more interesting patterns swirling out from it. My scope doesn't have quite enough reach to do it justice, but by cropping in, drizzling, and using tools like BlurXterminator, I can manage a decent image.
