S*Sjöliden's Princess Siv, NFO fs 02 21
In Norse mythology, Siv (Sif) is a golden-haired goddess associated with earth. In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, she is known for her golden hair and is married to the thunder god Thor.
The Prose Edda recounts that Sif once had her hair shorn by Loki, and that Thor forced Loki to have a golden headpiece made for Siv, resulting in not only Siv's golden tresses but also five other objects for other gods. Siv is also named in the Prose Edda as the mother of Thrud by Thor and of Ullr.
Scholars have proposed that Siv's hair may represent fields of golden wheat, that she may be associated with fertility, family, wedlock and/or that she is connected to rowan.
