Praising Sunna

Sun Goddess by selieSunna, or Sol, is the Norse goddess of the Sun. She has been called All-Bright, Everglow, and Fair Wheel. She drives across the sky each day, chased by the wolf Skoll who keeps her on course, which she considers mostly a fun game. Her Sun Chariot is drawn by two golden horses, Allsvinn (All-Swift), and Arvaker (Early-Waker), who pull the sun behind them. Its heat would be too much for them, except that Odin created a talisman called the Isarnkol, which hangs above their shoulders on the double yoke and constantly spreads cool mists, protecting them from heatstroke.
