Magni the Strong
Magni is the god of strength and physical power. As the son of Thor, he carries his father’s mighty essence and will one day wield Mjölnir itself. He represents not just brute strength, but the responsible use of power for protection and justice.
Sacred Story
Magni is the son of Thor and Sif. He and his brother Modi are among the few who will survive Ragnarök along with their father. In the new world that emerges after the destruction and renewal of all things, Magni will inherit Mjölnir and carry on his father’s role as protector and maintainer of order. This ensures that the power to defend the Nine Worlds continues eternally.
ADF Devotion
In ADF practice, Magni is honored as a god of strength—both physical and spiritual. He is invoked by those training in martial arts or athletics, by workers engaged in physically demanding labor, and by those committed to using their strength in service of protection and justice. Offerings include physical training and exertion, mighty deeds done in service of good, and the responsible use of power to protect the vulnerable.
