Sif
The Goddess Sif appears in a number of legends, and almost in always the same form; a Beatiful woman with Long Golden Hair, with a sword at her belt and a girdle of gold. Sif is Thor's Husband and the Mother of Uller. Like her Husband she is a Warrior, but where-as Thor is an instrument of power and reckless abandon, Sif lords over skill and dedication in arms. She is patron to the swordman, but also any who work diligently to perfect the craft of battle.
There are several legends about her; the most famous has her golden hair being cut off entirely by Loki as a joke. The Dwarves worked to replace her hair with hair made of actual gold.

Tenets of Faith
Skill, in the end, can always supersede talent. It is better to be swift and decisive than strong and recklace. All should have some skill with a weapon, for even a child or thrall may be called upon to defend their home.
Holidays
Like many of the gods, Sif accepts sacrifices at all times and especially before or after battle. However, she also honours the time of the full moon, a blessed time for many of the Goddesses and takes a special interest in sacrifices of weapons. Burning the weapon of a fallen enemy to her is among the greatest of offerings.
Divine Goals & Aspirations
Sif supports Thor is his endeavours and trains those in Asgard who need it. She also opposes Loki and distrusts him more than most. She tries to keep an eye out for his schemes.
