Description
Better color reference, since my scanner KILLS light blues -
As I may have mentioned on here before, I am an eclectic Pagan. In my youth I was called by the Goddess as Athena, and also have an affinity for Persephone, Aine, and Blodeuwedd, as well as having worked with Hathor and the Morrigan.
Recently I have been strongly called again, by a Norse Goddess (and about time too, since I’ve been into Viking culture for at least a year and a half now, I think. I guess it just wasn’t time yet before).
Sigyn is the Goddess of compassion and endurance, wife of Loki. Her Ordeal is to witness the suffering of Her husband when He is bound in the cave (not to mention the tragic loss of Their sons), providing care and compassion through the loyalty of Her steadfast heart.
More about my experience with Her, so far, here - rachelillustrates.wordpress.co…

Loki was MARRIED?!
I mean I know that the Marvel verse paints him in an entirely different light, but even in the Norse Mythology he never struck me as the type to settle down. Didn't he have like six different kids, half of whom were monstrous?
She sounds like a sweetie though.

He was, yeah. And yes about the monster babies. Aside from that, He actually had two wives. I don't know much about His first but I think She was a kind of badass warrior lady, while Sigyn made a home for Him/Them together. Sigyn is also in the older Thor comics, too, in a less happily-married situation with him, but still very loyal and kind. I haven't read much of her in there, other than knowing about the character. But I am very, very happy to be working with this Goddess.
