Topic: Sjofn


In the News (Thu 20 Jun 13)

  
  Sjofn
Sjofn is the daughter of Freia, the Asgardian goddess of fertility, and the dwarf, Iwaldi, whose sons created many of the treasures of the Asgardian Gods.
Although her mother was a member of the Vanir tribe of the Asgardians, Sjofn served as of the Asynjur, one of eleven attendants to Frigga of the Aesir, wife of Odin, the Chieftain of the Asgardian gods, and carried out both duties and responsibilities concerning matters of romance between gods and mortals.
Sjofn was preached to by Frigga rather than by Odin, but for several years afterward, Aphrodite visited parts of Ancient Germany claiming to be Sjofn to taunt her into a rematch.

In Sjofn's case, the love she inspires is not casual; it is love that leads to relationship and commitment.
Rituals to Sjofn could be performed wherever harmony is needed - disruptive homes, bad work situations, meetings of differing kindred members, etc. She can also work to maintain already happy relationships.
My personal workings with Sjofn have not yielded the type of harmony I had hoped, but they have provided me with some fortitude and clarity; I will press on and hope she sees me worthy enough to bestow true Frith.

Sjofn, Gjallarhorn’s previous album and one of the monumental masterpieces of modern world music, was an epic of high-energy, powerfully inspired Nordic music that incorporated diverse rhythmic explorations into a frenetic exhibition of musicality.
The song’s magnificence is brilliantly ignited in a seamless transition to an interlude that is reminiscent of a Mauritanian ho-down.
Sjofn is untouchable, but Gjallarhorn is back and pushing the frontiers of music once again.

 Lofn
In recent years, Loki used Sjofn, the goddess of love, to steal from her sister Lofn a potion that would bind the thunder-god Thor eternally to the goddess Lorelei.
Sometime later, Odin, Chieftain of the Asgardian Gods, concealed the Asgardian gods under mortal identities with false identities to protect them from the Egyptian god Seth manipulating Yggdrasil to force Ragnarok to occur.
Believing herself to be a newspaper romance columnist, Lofn had no memory of her life as a goddess, but she and Sjofn and regained their true lives and actual memories afterward, but the experience left them unprepared for attack by the Dark Gods, later espoused from Asgard by Thor, Hercules and the Destroyer.

 VN Boards - That's ENOUGH!
"Sjofn" here tries to "make fun" of people who zerg by aplying some reverse psychology (that's the funny part for me), implying that "Sjofn" usually goes in single group squads (the whole 3 times "Sjofn" RvRed that is ROFL).
Now people who know nothing about "Sjofn" cannot possibly have any idea whether "Sjofn" is talking seriously or not, and cannot possibly know if "Sjofn" represents Midgard in what's being said.
The truth though is, tha Midgard does not regularly zerg and most of peopel in Mid do not like zerging with more than 2 groups.
