30 Days of Devotion (Sigyn)
III. Symbols and icons of this deity
As far as I am aware, the only symbol that can be pulled from the Lore is the bowl. There’s some carving that’s supposed to be of Sigyn holding the bowl over Loki, but I’ve never been drawn to it. All other symbols and icons are of a modern, more personal association between a follower and Sigyn.
Sigyn as a Child may include (pastel pink and pastel blue) butterflies, snails, sea urchins, and things that can be found on the beach (shells, starfish, etc.). Sigyn as a rebellious Teen may include blue haired imagery, leather jackets, and lighters. Sigyn as a Bride could vary on where one perceives Sigyn being married (a white dress isn’t guaranteed across the board). Sigyn as Wife could vary, as well as Sigyn as Mother. Depending on how old Narvi and Vali are perceived as being, toys and symbols for Them may work their way into Sigyn’s symbology and iconography.
A small candle flame in the darkness, orange butterflies, and a bowl can be symbols and icons for Sigyn in the Cave / Bowl Holder. Mother of Mourning may include black clothing (long, flowy dresses might be included, layers), a black shawl, a vial for catching tears, and tears. Post-Cave Sigyn could vary as well.

Sigyn is Loki’s wife. She is listed amongst the Asynjur, the Goddesses of the Aesir.
She is the mother, by Loki, of Narvi and Vali. When Loki was bound in the cave as punishment for his role in Baldur’s death, Vali was turned into a wolf. He then killed his brother by tearing him apart. Narvi’s intestines were used as part of the binding securing Loki.
Sigyn, ostensibly having witnessed all of this, stayed by Loki during his punishment, holding a bowl over his face to catch the poison that dripped from a serpent the Goddess Skadhi had secured above his head. For this reason, Loki is sometimes referred to as the “Burden of Sigyn’s Arms”.
Sigyn’s name means “victory woman”.
Full view and ridiculously long spiel here.
I love Loki and Sigyn. I couldn’t stop picturing Rose Leslie as Sigyn so here, have some movieverse-meets-myth Loki hamming it up with his faithful, butt-kicking wife and fellow adventurer. Feisty couples are the best.

Young adult Vali anyway. It’s gonna be ages before we see him alas. And that’s really some artistic license on the hair. shhhhhhhhh.
