A.

In Norse mythology, Lofn is a minor deity. Although not significant in the pantheon, she was essential to people who wished to be loved and to those who sought love and partners. Lofn was a great support for those who desperately needed her help.
The goddess of passionate love, Lofn (also Lofna), whose name means 'love' or 'praise,' was a female of the Æsir gods. Lofn was one of the Asynjur of the goddess Frigg, Odin's wife and the goddess of love, marriage, and motherhood.
