Sigyn(please don’t reblog and delete my caption. If it ruins the aesthetic of your blog then find something else to post)This piece was originally an inktober prompt, but I’ve fixed it up! This is available as a print or as part of my inktober calendar on my redbubble.Sigyn is the wife of the Norse god Loki and she dutifully stays with her husband in his torment, catching the venom that drips from an enormous serpent in the cave where he is chained. It is said that when Sigyn pauses to empty her bowl and the poison drips onto Loki’s face, his writhing causes earthquakes.Sigyn is an amazing figure. Sigyn is steadfast duty in the face of hardship, and bone-deep strength under the weight of grief.Sigyn represents the strength to bear the weight of suffering and keep going, obviously, BUT it’s important to never ever forget her second lesson:Sometimes you need to empty your bowl. Sometimes you also need to say enough is enough.In Norse mythology, it is said that the world will end one day when Loki breaks free of his chains and starts Ragnarok, the final battle between the gods that will destroy everything.Support me on patreon to get access to WIPs, special content and goodies, including the series of WIPs for this piece! -- source link
