what is nanna
In the work of Saxo Grammaticus, Nanna is a mortal princess who is fought over by the rivals Baldur and Hoder. In spite of various sorts of divine aid, Hoder still triumphs and Nanna marries (and prefers) him. Nanna is the goddess of love in darkness. As Baldur is the light and hope that one finds in the hardest times, Nanna is the love of others that holds us through those times. She can be called upon by those whose loved ones are lost in darkness â deep in depression or sorrow or pain, or who are dying â and who want to be there for them to the last ounce of their strength.
