Sigyn’s flower bowl is getting pretty full. Time to get a bigger bowl…or pick less flowers for her, but honestly, which one do you see happening first? >_>

Thank you, Sigyn.
For giving me the strength to find the answer,
But not giving me the answer, yourself.
For comforting me in my sorrow,
and allowing me to find the truth myself.
Lastly, Thank you,
For not giving up hope on him, or on me.
Wellspring of Compassion.
Sigyn embodies and teaches everything we could ever hope to learn about love, compassion, and many other virtues as well. Where is love in our religion? It rests with Sigyn. Where is compassion? In Her heart.

Sigyn is about wholeness too, in the face of sometimes crushing anguish. She is the Lady of Enduring Grace, the One Who does not yield ever. She does what she committed her heart and mind and hands to do, even when the cost is terrible.

In the name of the love Sigyn and Loki have for Their lost sons, remember Vali. In the name of the love between Narvi and Vali, who some said were as close as twins, remember Him. Remember Him as you remember all children torn too soon from their families. Remember Him in the name of all, who, like Vali himself, have suffered from the horrors that have befallen them.

July for Loki
So back in June when I was doing my Litha ritual, I believe I had a sort of incident with Loki, where he revealed/ introduced his wife Sigyn to me and sort of encouraged me to honor Her as well. It was very sweet and very overpowering; I could absolutely feel the love He has for Her. So in exchange for this… vision I guess I could call it, I offered to dedicate one of the offering days in July to Sigyn. This is the prayer I designed for Her.
Please, please, please, if you work with Sigyn or know anything more about her, and see something offensive or wrong with this, please tell me! I am just staring in my honoring of Sigyn (and Loki for that matter) and don’t want to dedicate anything to Her that is glaringly incorrect. Does this prayer jive with anyone else’s experience with Her?
Sigyn, Devoted Lady and Wife
Surrounded by gillyflowers/wallflowers, which symbolize loyalty in adversity
Sigyn’s way is simple: constancy of heart, in the face of hatred, opposition, jealousy, slander, exhaustion, grief, anguish, rage, despair and a thousand other obstacles that life has a way of creating. She is constancy of purpose.
[We] call Sigyn “My Lady of the Staying Power,” because She is vast, and Her strength is vast even as it is so completely unassuming. It simply is and will not be moved. She is the “Lady of Unyielding Gentleness” for much the same reason. Her gentleness of spirit is Her shield and Her strength, and in it She is fierce. Her devotion is Her armor.

Take notes here Marvel if you decide to try this character again in future.

^^^All of this. Though there is still a lot of assumption that because a woman is gentle, she cannot also be strong. (Or that in order to be strong, she has to wield a big ol’ sword.)
