Ukko
In the Finnish Mythology, Ukko (“old man”) is the god of the Guerre and the Tonnerre, the Ciel and the Climat. He is perhaps the most important god of Finnish mythology. The Finnish word for “thunder” says “ ukkonen ” and originates in the name of this god. It is the equivalent of Odin in the Scandinavian Mythologie with in more the capacities of Thor. The equivalent of Thor in Finnish mythology would be rather Tuuri.
Like Thor, Ukko carries a hammer named Ukonvasara.
In the Finnish caves, one finds a figuration of the thunder which is being a snake-flash, the symbol of Ukko.
Ukko is supposed being also the god of the hunters, since it brings the chance to those when they leave to drive out.
Simple: Ukko
