Siofn

SIOFN From the 'Gods of England' series by Thorskegga Thorn

Thorskegga has started a series of paintings depicting the gods worshipped by the Anglo-Saxon and Norse settlers in England.

Siofn is the goddess of love recorded in the Eddas.

She is shown here with honeysuckle and a wedding ceremony with a statue of Freya. The rune Pertho is associated with either joy or sex.

The horn and moon at the top refers to the 'honeymoon' a month in which newly weds drank mead for good luck.
