Sjöfn In Norse mythology, Sjöfn is a goddess associated with love. Sjöfn is attested in the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson; and in three kennings employed in skaldic poetry. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess. == Attestations == In chapter 35 of the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Gylfaginning'', High provides brief descriptions of 16 ásynjur. High lists Sjöfn seventh, and says that Sjöfn is "concerned to direct people's minds to love, both women and men." In addition, High states that from Sjöfn's name comes the Old Norse word ''sjafni''.〔Faulkes (1995:30).〕 In the Nafnaþulur section appended to the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Skáldskaparmál'', chapter 75, Sjöfn is included in a list of 27 names of ásynjur.〔Faulkes (1995:157).〕 Otherwise, the name ''Sjöfn'' is thrice employed as a base word in skaldic kennings for "woman".〔Lindow (1995:268).〕
