Mani
Mani is the Norse moon who guides the months and counts the nights, chased in turn by the wolf Hati. He takes two children from the earth to carry the moon's light, which is where the marks on the moon come from.
No native Norse planetary rulership exists: the planetary correspondence is the interpretatio romana / weekday reading (Mercury=Odinn, Jupiter=Thor, Mars=Tyr, Venus=Freyja/Frigg, Sun=Sol, Moon=Mani), not an ancient Norse attribution.
