Very little is known about Magni and Modi, the mighty sons of Thor from Norse mythology. Most people would not even be aware of their names. Unlike their illustrious father, they have not really made their way into the popular imagination. What we do know about them is that they were both great warriors. They were heavily associated with battle and warfare. And they were also believed to have wielded the famous Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer.

Magni was the god of physical strength, brotherhood, health, and family loyalty. Devotion to family was an important aspect of this particular Norse god, given his loyalty to his father and brother.
