but like why does it have to be Sigyn holding the bowl why does she have to suffer

can't she just prop the bowl on Loki's face or give the snake a bib

Sigyn.

The one that burns the britghtes in the darkest moments. And the one that all to manny forgott.

Her name means "freind of victory" and is the wife of "the burden of Sigyn's arms" Loki.

While Loki had a love afair with Angraboda, Sigyn is his true wife. And no matter what he did she is true and loyal to him. Shes listed as one of the Asir and one of the disir by snorri, unlike Loki whos a Jötunn.

For me shes a goddess of strenght in tuff times, a goddess of strengt and light in the dark. This is also why for me she is included during Disablot, when the nights are long and the the world still cold, to find strength in the one that stod for endless nights awaiting light and reelife.

I find her also as a goddess of victory, to do her name. I find her surprisingly innocent compared to her husband, with a good nature, but very choosy of who she helps.

"How was Loki with Angrboða AND Sigyn?"

Old art. But I still stand by it...and use the second panel as a react all the time XD.

One of my favorite kennings for Loki is "farmr Sigvinjar arma", which translates roughly to "the cargo of Sigyn's arms". Add a little Gustav Klimt to the equation, and you have an idea that's been plaguing me for months.

The Sins of The Father / The Sons of Loki

Váli and Narfi

[notthesomefather]

Absolutely stunning piece from Johanna Polle (website / Instagram / Etsy shop) titled "Loki's Kin."

[godsofhumanity]

Sigyn: I can't believe you assassinated Baldr! Loki: Well, 'assassinated' implies it was politically motivated. I killed him because he was a dick, so technically I murdered him Sigyn: That's not better!

[lokahjarta]

We imagine Loki's punishment in the mouth of the cave. After all, He is the god of many mouths, Hveðrungr, Gullveig's last stop, and Stitchlip. Why would he not be in the mouth?

Because you don't put out a fire by giving it, O Loptr, fine mountain air, sunlight, or wind.

You don't squelch a light with more light. You leave it in darkness to rot.

O, that dark primordial Thing. That cold-blooded Prometheus of the frozen north. How do you kill the deathless? You torture it to finality. Liver meet eagle. Sisyphus get happy. Loki, meet hole. (tale as old as time)

You leave him as deep as you can get him. Deep as the quick, that Blood Gave Loðurr.

And you leave that Goatballed Jester without the only thing he ever wanted. An audience. The sound of laughter. Good company.

And you leave that thrice bound sucker there to rot, wrapped round with the promise that your children, too, will be snuffed out like votive candles. Rot with them now and crawl home to your daughter. Crawling King Snake, welcome home.

That's what makes Sigyn so compelling. Sigyn, Victory Woman, The Thing With Feathers -

Rabbit says; "Joy To The Fettered,"

She flies down the tunnel, she comes heartbroken, she comes alone.

This is an Oubliette - who would choose to come but the Victorious?

This isn't Orpheus come to find her blushing bride.

This is Persephone making her bed with the mother of Monsters.

And she comes out again, from the depths which grant no mercy, with neither light, or joy, or wind, or sky. Just a bowl of poison, thirstier once emptied.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, comes out of the cave and the stink and the rot. And does she stop a moment? Does she breathe the alpine air and sigh and maybe, just maybe, weep?

We know just this. She goes back.

Sigyn, The Thing With Feathers, knows that Nothing Lasts Forever. And someday, we know, all hell breaks loose.

I completely forgot about this little doodle that I made some time ago!!! But anyway-

Here it is!

“Loki and Sigyn shopping in Midgard”

They decided to visit Midgard as if it was the most casual thing for everyone around

Loki’s wives and children from Norse mythology deserve more attention

Happy Spongecake Day! 🍰

And happy 6th anniversary to this comic of Logi and Loki's annual eating rematch~

Logi is still undefeated.

(In the Tale of Útgarða-Loki, Loki is challenged to and defeated in an eating contest by the giant Logi, who turns out to be the embodiment of wildfire. Spongecake Day is a Lokean holiday that falls on September 4-5 that commemorates a time on Tumblr when someone got elitist backlash after posting a picture of a spongecake they offered to Loki ; and the Lokean community responded to the discourse with retorts, spongecake spam and a new tradition.)
