Mani, the Moon God, is quieter and more reflective; he
has been known to wander off course in order to watch over people and is
especially fond of the humans of Midgard. One of his major tales has him
rescuing children and taking them to Asgard. He has a compassionate heart, and
is struck by seeing those in need, especially children who are being abused,
and he is often prayed to in order to protect specific children. He is known to
have rescued two children, Bil and Hjuki, snatching them up from the earth and
sending them to live in Asgard. (Their names seem to be the foundation of the
"Jack and Jill" rhyme.) He is also a god of calendars, mathematics,
and other rational thought that requires counting and numbers. He plays a flute
as he walks, and is those who work with Mani say that his moon-cart is pulled
not by horses, but by large dogs.- Honoring Mani by Galina Krasskova
