Nokkvi the Giant  - Norse Mythology

Helmsman of the Moon and 
Father of the Goddess, Night.
He sails the moon across the sky at night.

His daughter, Night had three children by three husbands.
A son named Space by Naglfar (Twilight).
A daughter Erce (Earth) by  Annarr (Second) who is also thought to be the sky father Tiwaz or Odin.
A son called Day by Delling (Dawn).

All are sky gods or attributes of the sky god.

In Norse mythology, creation initially beins with the Allfather, the chief omnipotent sky god and creator who made the heavens, sun and moon.
He was also known as Tiwaz, Tyr or Tiw. Later, he was displaced by Odin / Woden and Thor.

The image of the ship is based on images found in Saxon burials.
