The thing that makes Sigyn dangerous isn’t that she’s violent or cruel; it’s that she could be, and chooses to be gentle instead. In a world where everyone is always expecting harshness and punishment, receiving kindness and empathy in their place not only surprises people, but draws them to you. It wins love as well as loyalty—and there’s nothing more powerful than someone who has the love and loyalty of so many people who were likely used to nothing but cruelty and rejection before they met her.

Sigyn’s way takes such courage. Her way is a quiet way of personal mindfulness and dedication. It is a simple way. It is a terrifying way. Walking in Her footsteps means that there is no place to hide: no fine words, no angry posturing, no pride, no ego, no boasting—Her deeds are boast enough. There is nothing but what must be done and a heart committed to the doing.

To Sigyn,

falconcloaked:

Strongest arms who never stop caring

Unfailing will who can never collapse

Even under the rage of your beloved Worldbreaker

Please, lend us resilience and steadiness

Please, allow us to forgive anger and forget pain

Please, let us take care of our loved one as you do

Dear Sigyn, mother of our heart

Please, let us feed the dying seed with soothing water.
