Overview
Jord (Jörð) is a goddess in Norse mythology who personifies the Earth. She is notably recognized as the mother of Thor, the thunder god, with Odin as his father. Jord is often portrayed as a giantess, which aligns with many figures in Norse myths who have dual associations with both gods and giants.
Jord’s role as the Earth goddess emphasizes the importance of nature and the land in Norse culture and mythology. Although she is not as extensively featured in the mythology as some other deities, her significance is underscored by her relationship with Thor, one of the most prominent and powerful gods in the Norse pantheon.
