๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: Norse Mythology
In Norse mythology, Sigyn is an รกsynja goddess, her parents are unknown, but it is generally believed that her ancestry is the Aesir. She is the goddess of Loyalty, Faithfulness & Compassion. Due to the fragmentary nature of the primary sources for Norse mythology, only one scrap of lore regarding Sigyn survives that gives any indication of her personality and mythological roles, the tale of Lokiโs punishment for killing Baldr. In that tale, when the Gods captured Loki, they turned one of his sons, Vali, into a wolf. The wolf then ripped apart his brother Narfi. The boyโs entrails hardened into an iron chain, and the Gods used this grotesque fetter to bind Loki in a cave deep beneath the earth. The Gods also placed a snake above Loki that would drip venom onto his head. Like a model of a traditional and dutiful wife, Sigyn sat by Lokiโs side with a bowl to catch the drops of snake venom so that they wouldnโt touch her husbandโs head. Every so often, however, she would have to leave the cave to pour out the bowl. In her absence, a few drops of poisonous venom would fall onto Lokiโs forehead. This caused him to writhe in agony, which in turn caused earthquakes on the surface of Midgard, the world of humans. Sigynโs story is also one of victory; victory over wrenching circumstances, pain, loss, despair, and anguish. She chooses to endure, and by doing so, she triumphs. As Fuensanta Arismendi, an ardent Sigynโs woman once said, โSigynโs strength is in her heart. Her heart is invincible.โ
