Sigyn

Sigyn (Old Norse: Sigrún, meaning "victory rune" or "victorious rune") is a figure from Norse mythology, known primarily as the wife of the trickster god Loki. She is often depicted as a faithful and devoted spouse, who remains by Loki's side even after he is bound as punishment for his role in the death of the god Baldr. Sigyn's most notable mythological act is her steadfast attempt to mitigate Loki's suffering by catching the venom of a serpent placed above him in a bowl, preventing it from dripping onto his face. This act of devotion is a central theme in the depiction of Sigyn, highlighting her loyalty and compassion. In Old English, her name is sometimes rendered as Sigewin, while in German, it may appear as Sigrun. The Hebrew translation of her name is סיג'ין (Sig'in). Sigyn's role in Norse mythology underscores the importance of loyalty and the enduring nature of love and devotion, even in the face of adversity.
