What is "sjofn"

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.

Sjofn is an album by Gjallarhorn. It was the band's second studio album, and was released in 2000. It combines striking singing by vocalist Jenny Wilhelms with vigorous Swedish folk-style accompaniment, but with a didgeridoo as an updated drone.

The album was brought out with the help of Finlands Svenska Folkmusikinstitut (Finland's Swedish Folk Music Institute) and Svenska Kulturfonden (The Swedish Culture Fund).
