Dellingr

god of the dawn

Dellingr (sometimes spelled Delling) is a god associated with the dawn. He is the son of the goddess Night (Nótt) and the god Day (Dagr), and his name means "shining one" or "daybreak".

According to myth, Dellingr was known for his beauty and radiance, and his arrival in the sky each morning was seen as a sign of hope and renewal. He was also associated with the passage of time, as the transition from night to day marked the beginning of a new cycle.

While Dellingr is not a major figure in Norse mythology, his role as a bringer of light and new beginnings makes him an important symbol in the Norse worldview. His story highlights the cyclical nature of life and the importance of balance and renewal in the natural world.
