Loreley is thought to be a Siren (Using a greek Translation) in the Welsh variation of this song,though the words are the same us Welsh interpret it differenty,saying that Loreley was a Siren,.and they dragged Sailors overboard to their watery graves to crash the boats and take treasures.
The story of the Lorelei is told in a few variations. There are theories of her being a nymph, as you said, a princess or a sorceress.
Question: Why did she sit on that rock anyway? Legend has it, that her beloved left her either for another women or to go to war (which I always thought).
For those who understand german, you might look into the story at the german wikipedia
The Lorelei ( Lorelei, not Loreley, that's how it's really spelled ) was a quasilegendary nymph of the Rhine who lured sailors to shipwreck on her rock by singing: a creation of Clemens Brentano in a poem of 1800, that is what Blackmore's Night was referring to in this, for those of you who do not know
