A golden-haired fertility goddess, Sif is best known for being Thor’s wife and… for having great hair. But honestly, Sif’s luscious locks were more curse than blessing. The Prose Edda recounts that Loki cut her hair off while she was sleeping, which is just cruel.

This obviously didn’t go down well with Thor, who forced Loki to go get a golden headpiece made for Sif. The sons of the dwarf Ivaldi forged a new golden head of hair for Sif, along with two other marvels: Skidbladnir, the best of all ships which can be folded up and put into your pocket, and Gungnir - the deadliest of all spears.  Sif was also the mother to Thrúd, her daughter with Thor, and Ull, the god of archery, skiing and single combat.
