Definition of sif

4 senses · 3 parts of speech · etymology included

name

  1. (Norse)A golden-haired goddess associated with earth, mother of Ullr and wife of Thor.
    “As already stated, Thor was, according to the Edda, married to Sibil, that is to say, the Sibylla, and the Edda adds that this Sibil is called Sif in the North. In the Teutonic mythology Thor's wife is the goddess Sif.”
    “For some contemporary Heathens, Lammas is sacred to Sif and Thunor (see Our Troth online Chapter LIII). In Snorri's Skaldskaparmal (see Faulkes 1998 [1987]: 96), Loki cropped Sif’s (presumably blonde or flaxen) hair, seemingly out of spite, a cropping which compares to the harvesting of corn.[…]Sif’s golden hair is a contemporary kenning for the cornfield as it is caressed by the breeze and makes gentle waves.”
