Devotional Stuff: Sigyn

bonesandblood-sunandmoon:

  • I have a variety of daily prayers that are a mix of my own work and pieces from a devotional to Her.
  • I also have a variety of weekly prayers that were read while holding the bowl that are a mix of my own work and pieces from a devotional.
  • In exchange for Her assistance with helping me to have something like a “regular” sleep schedule, I used to write something for Her every day – 30 Days of Devotion prompts, prompts for Her blog, prompts for a project I need to wait before sharing, etc.
  • I have a sideblog shrine to Her that’s currently WIP while I fix tags and clean them out.
  • I hail Her on the various days of Her holy cycle: Vanic Wheel of the Year, July’s full moon (Loki’s Capture), several other dates.

Tags: Sigyn, Sigyn as a rebellious Teen, Strength of the Mountain, Loki & Sigyn. Instead of Sigyn as a Child, see: snails, butterflies. Also: keys, tea.

– Note: Sigyn* is still being worked through and will be merged into Sigyn. Sigyn will take a while to work through because it’s a fucking long tag (because it’s now holding previous tags like Deity: Sigyn, Deity: Sigyn*, m’Lady: Sigyn, Keeper of the Keys, etc.).

there are few things to fear
                      when you’re the one that births monsters
                      the one that punishes them

there are few things to fear
                      when all the demons are things you have made
                                           through sin 
                                           through salvation

no
there are few things to fear
but chief among the daunts that send god king’s blood to ice
              is the wrath of a mother

                  the wrath of sigyn
                                      she who holds ragnarok at bay 
              she is something to fear

              this goddess that has been reduced to loyalty alone
              this goddess that cradles the nine in her tender hands

                                  she
                                  she is something to be feared

soltian:

One did I see | in the wet woods bound,
A lover of ill, | and to Loki like;
By his side does Sigyn | sit, nor is glad
To see her mate: | would you know yet more?

This particular drawing has rendered itself somewhat momentous to me, because at the time that my utterly lovely, patient, saint-like commissioner requested it I was seized with SO MANY visions of how to accomplish it, and drove myself crazy trying to do justice to the mythos of the situation and the very unique relationship between Loki and Sigyn that can be inferred from the glimpses of her we still have. In the end I was struck most deeply by the phrase used to describe Loki as “the burden of Sigyn’s arms”, which brought to mind a very specific sort of temperance and strength not necessarily wrought in muscle, but unwavering loyalty.

So, in honor of that. Loki and Sigyn.
