Yes, Thor has grabbed me in a headlock and hasn't let go. He's my go-to guy for strength and protection. But lately I've been feeling a call, if you will, or being drawn to Odin also. Maybe as I'm learning more about him I'm seeing his attributes that are as much a part of me as Thor's are.
Thor: my desire for strength, to protect, to show compassion for the "downtrodden" and disadvantaged; I have a short temper, but I'm equally quick to calm down; I love food.
Odin: I'm an almost insatiable info junkie, I love to collect books, even if I never read them I like having them should I decide to learn something; I like learning things (but dear gods, not anything having to do with work anymore); it may be a fantasy but some "warrior spirit" in me is awakening. I'm too old to join any LEO or branch of the Armed Forces, but I wish I could.
I was always afraid of Odin, seeing him as a stern and demanding god. I can't quite explain it, but I don't see him that way anymore. In fact I see Thor and Odin as complementary and supplementary, especially when it comes to my personality. Thor is the physical and emotional side of me; Odin is the intellectual side of me. I don't get the feeling there is any conflict between them over me because I think they and I know they each "rule" a different aspect of my being.
Ordinarily I would say at this point in the post "so how kooky and deranged is that?" but you know, I don't feel it is odd at all. In fact I'm actually kind of happy about it. It makes me feel wanted.
