…the god may not be a god in any obvious form, it may have been nature herself, as thunder and lightning. I was reminded of Thor also.
That’s an interesting point you’ve made. From a more animist point of view, I would say that Nature herself, and/or the thunder and lightning was the divinity, or manifestation of divinity. To give another example, Sabrina is not the goddess of the Severn, she is the Severn, and thus divine in that she is infused with spirit. This is, of course, just my way of looking at it, but it is something that I feel is very much more in attune with a Celtic way of looking at things, as opposed to the more modern conceptions of god of this and goddess of that, influenced, no doubt, by Greek and Roman ideas that have come down to us.
