“When there is no time for anger, when there is no time for hate, when there is only time to move forward and take the fate that we have been woven, I hail S I G Y N. Strongest of women, W I S E S T of sufferers, martyr without wounds.” (x)
Every time I hear the kenning for Loki “Burden of Sigyn’s arms,” it brings to mind Michelangelo’s pietá, not the one in Rome but the one in the Uffizi in Florence which shows Mary, Joseph, and the Magdalene holding a Christ made doubly heavy by the burden of a dead body and by the burden of grief. Here Michelangelo caught something essential about the nature of grief: it has a terrible weight. Shakespeare said in King John, where he has a queen sit down on the floor next to the throne having lost a son (and Sigyn is a queen) “for my grief is so great that none but the huge firm earth can bear it.” That to me, is Sigyn. She bears the unbearable. There’s no glamour in Her ordeal.

Gentle Goddess,
teach me to play.
I’ve seen the joy You take
in the smallest thing of beauty.
Teach me gentleness,
the sweetness of Your song.
I want to sing, as You sing
when You know Loki is listening.
I wish to be among those nurtured
by Your tender hands,
a bright flower
pruned by Your gentle fingers.
Teach me to love,
as You love:
without condition.(x)
Compassion is the ultimate and most meaningful embodiment of emotional maturity. It is through compassion that a person achieves the highest peak and the deepest reach in his or her search for self-fulfillment.
✧ Tropes vs. Sigyn [1/?]Neutral Good [x]
- Will usually comply with laws if doing so benefits the greater good, but rebel against those they consider unjust or which conflict with the greater good. They value freedom and will do what they can to protect the freedom of others, as long as it’s not used to do harm.
Good is Not Soft [x]
- A genuinely friendly, sociable, caring person who is always looking out for their friends and family and trying to do the right thing—but that niceness doesn’t extend to giving free passes to the truly vile and horrific among their enemies.
Badass Pacifist [x]
- A person who, without doing anything violent, is much more awesome than many of us will ever be. They command respect even though they never go on the offensive, especially those who prove capable of defeating an enemy without using any violence whatsoever.
With ordeals like Odin’s, it’s nine days and then it’s over. It’s the plucking of an eye and then it’s over. I mean no disrespect, but Sigyn didn’t know when or even if Her ordeal would ever be over. Not to mention no mother ever gets over the ordeal of losing a child, something Odin also understood. But there is no glamour: you do what’s right, and you do it again and again and again, and that’s very unpopular. There’s no glamour, no sweeping gestures, and no one to sing your praises. The heart is a terrible thing.
