Thunder Cakes
Let me ask you a theological question.
It really is true that you can find just about anything on the internet. What I was fortunate enough to find was a cookie cutter in the shape of what witches call the Melner: Mjöllnir, Þór's Thunder Hammer.
Clearly—now that the Summer heat seems to be over, at least for the time being—it's time to bake some Thunder cakes.
So here's my question:
What kind of cookies would the Thunderer like best?
How you answer will say much about your theology.

Any grain really, and my gnosis is she enjoys corn, but the story about her hair is a metaphor for wheat harvest so wheat specifically.

Friday, 18 September 2020I’m thinking... thunder comes with rain, so something warm. Thunder comes with lightning, so something with a bite. I’d say, really spicy ginger molasses cookies, so dark they taste of deep, but with spice to warm you on cool, rainy days.
This may not be culturally accurate... so if there is an equivalent that would have been created in the days, then that. -

Lightning is known to strike oak trees a lot, so I'm guessing something with nuts in it. Homemade pecan sandies to start with, then white chocolate macadamia, and finally something with walnuts.
Peanuts grow underground so not those. It's got to be the kind of nuts you knock out of trees.
