Thorskegga has started a series of paintings depicting the gods worshipped by the Anglo-Saxon and Norse settlers in England.
Nott is the goddess of the night. She is descended from Loki the trickster god whose descendents are said to be dark, we have taken that literally but the Edda's probably meant dark haired. Nott is the mother of the god Dag/Day.
Night is the time of the trolls and the dark elves (dwarves). She holds the dark moon, the time when mortals most feared to travel. Comets are also a sign of calamity. Her horse sprinkles dew from its mouth.
