Lofn (Old Norse) means "the comforter, the mild." **The Norse goddess of forbidden love and difficult marriages** — **she had the special permission from Odin and Frigg to bring together lovers whose union was otherwise forbidden by social convention**. Listed by Snorri Sturluson among the Asynjur. **The Old Norse word *lof* ("permission") and the modern English "love" may both descend from her name.**
Featured in Snorri's *Prose Edda*.
Lofn reduces to one — the number of Norse forbidden-love goddess.
