Sigrdrifa
Encyclopedia : S : SI : SIG : Sigrdrifa
In Norse mythology, Sigrdrífa is one of the valkyries. She appears in Sigrdrífumál as the mentor of Sigurd (Old Norse: Sigurðr). In the Poetic Edda she is identified with Brynhildr. Some scholars have doubted that this identification is original, seeing the roles of Sigurd's mentor and lover as too distinct to belong to the same character.
