nathanialroyale:

Her complete occupation with the bowl and the poison — and Her failure to completely avoid the situation’s evil and pain — speaks less to Sigyn’s weakness and more to the combined power of Odhinn and Skadhi, who laid this curse upon Loki together.  It is a force so grave that even the Incantation-Fetter cannot avoid it — She must devote Her whole attention to steer it aside, and then only for a time.  And in this process, She knows the suffering of those She protects. – Ljot Lokadis
