What is Hjúki and Bil?
In [[Norse mythology]], '''Hjúki''' and '''Bil''' are a brother and sister who follow [[Máni]] (the [[The Moon|moon]] [[Personification|personified]]) across the sky. They are described in the [[Prose Edda]], written in the 13th century by [[Snorri Sturluson]]. Theories claim that the two gods' roles in mythology are the [[Phases of the Moon|moon's phases]]. It is said that the two children were carrying a pail of water from a sacred well and that Máni swooped down and took the pail. The two children chase after Máni to attempt to take back their pail. {{Norse mythology}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hjuki and Bil}} [[Category:Norse gods and goddesses]] {{religion-stub}}
