Loki & Sigyn – Gosforth Cross
In the circular design Loki lies bound while his wife Sigyn holds up a bowl to catch the poison of the serpents that torment him.

I talk about Loki a lot, and other deities not much at all. But in fact Sigyn is just as important to me as Loki is. They come as a set, most of the time; not always together, but never far from each other.
Beware UPG.
Thor: Sleepy Lokis by kaetiegaard
One of the reasons why i love Sigyn/Loki so much is that it directly subverts the “Woman as reward for triumph” narrative.
Loki is not a good man. And very rarely successful at his scheming. And Sigyn loves him regardless because a woman’s affections are not bestowed on the victor by fiat.
She loves him. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. He doesn’t “deserve” it he didn’t “earn” it she just DOES.
