This article is about the Slavic goddess. For the Hindu god, see Shiva. For other uses, see Siwa or Siva (disambiguation).
In Slavic mythology, Šiwa, also Šiva (pronounced /ʃiva/), Živa (pronounced /ʒiva/), Sieba or Razivia, was the fertility and love goddess. She was worshipped throughout what is now Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Germany (and especially the Elbe (Labe) river valley) before Christianity expanded into the area. Her name means "living, being, existing." Sieba is married to Siebog, her male equivalent.
