Hammer / Girdle

Thor has two goats whose names are Tanngniost and Tanngris-
nir, and a chariot that he drives in, and the goats draw the chariot.
From this he is known as Oku-Thor. He also has three special
possessions. One of them is the hammer Miollnir, well known to
frost-giants and mountain-giants when it is raised aloft, and that
is not to be wondered at: it has smashed many a skull for their
fathers and kinsmen. He has another possession that is very
valuable, a girdle of might, and when he buckles it on his
As-strength is doubled. He has a third thing that is a most
important possession. This is a pair of iron gloves. He must not be
without these when he grips the hammer. But there is no one so
wise that can recount all his exploits, though I can tell you so
many stories about him that much time will be taken up before all
I know is told.’
