evermore-fashion: Nanna (or Nanna Nepsdóttir) was the goddess of joy and peace as well as being associated with the god Baldr (god of bravery) in Norse mythology. Her story has varied over the years and in some she was the wife of Baldr and together they produced a son named Forseti (god of justice). After Baldr’s death, she died of grief and was placed on his ship with his corpse and the two were set aflame and pushed out to sea. In Niflheim, Baldr and Nanna were united once again. In an attempt to bring him back from the dead, the god Hermóðr (messenger of the gods) rode to Hel (goddess of the death) upon receiving the hope of resurrecting Baldr from the goddess. In another story Nanna was mortal and a love interest to both the demi-god Baldr and the mortal Höðr. Spurred by their mutual attraction towards her, both men repeatedly did battle with one another. However Nanna was only interested in Höðr and in the end wed him, while Baldr wasted away from nightmares about Nanna.(Elie Saab Fall 2017 Haute Couture Collection) This is so pretty!! -- source link
