P recious
little is known of the Goddess Išunna. She is mentioned in the "Gylfaginning",
the one
story of Loki kidnapping her and stealing her apples to fulfill an obligation to
the giant Thiassi. There is however, much information which can be
inferred or
which is anecdotal. We know that she is referred to as being married with
Bragi, who resides in Valhal. We also know that she was mentioned as
serving drink at Valhal. With these references we may infer that she lives
with her husband in Valhal.
T here
is reference to her in "Ošin's Korpgalder" which states that
she is the grand daughter of Ivalde (Hunt-Anschütz)
who is referenced in Snorri Sturlison's "Haustlong" as father
of those that built Freys ship. Išunna
is daughter of the Dark Elves or Dwarves. She
was named by the Elves as were Frey and Freya. It could be concluded that
she therefore is Vanir and may be full sister
to Frey and Freya.
T he
following are links to references which help shed light upon this little known
Goddess who keeps the Gods eternal and without whom they wither and age.
