Æsir genealogy in Norse mythology Names in Bold are Æsir/Ásynjur Names in Italics are Vanir Rindr was a human princess Móði and Magni are the sons of Thor, and the brothers to Þrúðr. John Lindow draws a parallel between Magni and Odin's son Váli for they both have a giantess mother ( Rindr for Váli) and achieve a feat at a very young age (Váli is only one day old when he kills Höðr, thus avenging Baldr's death).
