Snotra is a Norse goddess whose name means “wise” or “sober-minded,” mentioned in the Prose Edda as one of Frigg’s handmaidens. She embodies prudence and moderation. Though obscure, she represents the intellectual virtues valued in Norse society. Poets reference Snotra to advocate for thoughtful conduct, restraint, and the quiet strength of disciplined character in turbulent times.

Snotra is a goddess of wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue, listed in Gylfaginning. Her name means "clever" or "prudent" in Old Norse, and she embodies intellectual and moral refinement. Though she has no myths, her inclusion among the Ásynjur shows that Norse myth valued contemplative virtues alongside martial or fertile ones. Students should connect Snotra to the Hávamál’s emphasis on moderation, courtesy, and thoughtful speech. In poetic terms, "Snotra’s counsel" could kenning for wise advice. Her rarity in sources makes her a reminder that the Norse pantheon included abstract personifications—Snotra represents the ideal of the thoughtful individual, relevant to studies of ethics, education, and philosophical ideals in eddic literature.
