Sigyn (sometimes you can meet Sigunn or Sigrun) is a secondary goddess in Scandinavian mythology, the faithful and devoted wife of the god Loki, the mother of their sons Nari and Narvi.
The beautiful goddess is a gentle image of an enthusiastic and loving girl who later became a wonderful wife and mother.
About the unusual story of the god and goddess, about the meeting of future spouses, the wedding night of Loki and Sigyn will be told in our article. We will also offer you a brief description of the plot of the film about their life.
General information
Goddess Sigyn is the adopted daughter of the lord of the sea waves and wind Njord. She is gentle, kind and funny. The god Loki is the adopted son of the Scandinavian god Odin. He is formidable, fiery, sometimes unrestrained in his statements.
By nature, these two are complete opposites. However, they became for each other not justhusband and wife, but the best partners, friends, associates.
They are best known for one difficult story. Once, while at a feast at the sea giant Aegir, where the gods gathered, Loki insulted everyone present. For this, they decided to punish him severely, imprisoning him in a cave and tying his own son (who was also killed) to a stone with the intestines. Above the head of Loki, a snake was strengthened, exuding poison. Dripping on the body of the unfortunate, he caused terrible pain and suffering.
But the goddess Sigyn, being a faithful and loving wife, followed her husband to help ease his torment. She collected the poison in a bowl and poured it out as she left the cave.
Ancient sources ("Eddas") say that in these moments (when his wife was absent) Loki shuddered terribly in convulsions from the pain caused by the snake's deadly venom, and this contributed to the fact that earthquakes occurred throughout the Earth.
Meeting
Goddess Sigyn and Loki first met in the garden of her foster father Njord. She was then just a child, but so charming and bright that at first sight she captivated the heart of Loki, who was already married by that time.
During their first meeting, the future husband gave Sigyn a magical flower that she kept for many years as a reminder of that happy day.
From that moment on, Loki often visited the girl to see her, talk to her, bring a gift. She soon realized that she wanted to become his wife.
When Shigun was 15 years old, she married a godLoki.
Wedding Night
Before the wedding, the young people agreed that for some time they would remain friends for each other, but for the rest they would become husband and wife.
To observe the ancient custom, Sigyn and Loki had to go to their chambers after the wedding feast to fulfill their marital duty.
But they outwitted everyone by building a powerful crystal defense in their domain, turning on a specially selected recording with sex scenes, and they themselves went for a walk, going outside through the emergency exit.
The plan worked. Many months had passed since that night, but the reputation of the young couple was unequivocal - they were perceived as burning and passionate lovers (thanks to that record).
Sigun was considered by everyone to be a strong, temperamental goddess. Some males were even afraid of her.
And Loki was respected by many as a strong god, a man and a ruler who dared to marry such a passionate goddess.
The first wedding night of Loki and Sigyn was so unusual, which made so much noise in the kingdom.
Description of the goddess
According to legend, little Sigyn was once found in the forest by representatives of the noble family of the Vans. She was then 4-5 years old. Since then, she lived as the adopted daughter of Njord, the lord of the sea and the wind.
Sigyn's appearance resembled these elements, as if she were the real daughter of her adoptive father. Her eyes were like the deep blue of the sea, her hair was as dark as the sky during a storm, and her character was stormy and changeable, like the ocean and the wind.
But the girl grew up kind and sympathetic. Those around her in the Van family took care of her and loved her as if they were their own.
Sigyn was very fond of flowers, and therefore was often in the garden, where she once met her future husband, Loki.
In general, the Vanir are a wise and ancient people who wished to live peacefully with everyone around them. Aces are young and warlike, and therefore they constantly provoked skirmishes and contributed to the fact that periodically wars took place between peoples.
It was the latter that Loki was referring to. And his adoptive father - the god Odin - in order to reconcile the warring parties, decided to intermarry with the Vans. Which is exactly what happened when Sigyn turned 15.
A castle was built for the young in Asgard, which was located on the sea coast.
Character traits
Goddess Sigyn, according to mythology, had many beautiful qualities that are inherent in a true woman.
The brightest of them are the following:
- Mild temper.
- Tenderness.
- Cheerfulness.
- Caring.
- Curiosity.
- Playfulness.
- Innocence.
- Romance.
- Dreamy.
- Sensuality.
- Mercy.
Even as an adult, she looked like a lovely girl who charms and makes everyone present see joy and feel happiness.
Sigyn is unpretentious and sensitive to the innermost, subtlest features of the soul and heart (of her own, as well as othersof people). This quality is not given to all gods.
She is a comfort and protection from many storms and problems. In her alone, the husband found real peace of mind. Love and friendship are those shrines that are important and revered by the goddess.
However, Sigyn has his own opinion, has independence and self-confidence. As for relationships with loved ones, she knows no compromises, and lies and betrayal are alien concepts to her.
What represents
Who is this goddess Sigyn? For modern followers of Scandinavian mythology, this beautiful woman personifies many sides, both feminine and universal.
Besides, Sigyn is the epitome of a truly humble and meek wife who loves and respects her husband. In addition, she is also a sweet child who lives in every adult.
It is thanks to this goddess that many people make contact with their inner self. For a modern person, this is very important. Psychologists have long noticed that inner balance and harmony have a positive effect on the life of an adult.
It is important to stop being afraid to look funny and strange in the eyes of others, to allow yourself from time to time to show childish spontaneity, sincerity, joy for other people's successes.
Goddess Sigyn, like no other, helps to heal from the inside. Thanks to her, heart wounds heal, life seems brighter, there is a desire to help other people, especially children.
Sigyn is also the patroness of babies, especiallythose who do not have parental care or live in a family without we alth - material or spiritual (those children in whom parents are not involved and are not interested).
You can figuratively describe her relationship with the children as follows: Sigyn gently hugs the child, tremblingly presses broken toys to her chest, protects the kids from danger. She also has a lot of fun and a lovely laugh.
At the same time, the goddess assumes the face of shyness and childishness, so others want to take care of her. These are the sides of true femininity: child, woman, mother, hostess.
Films about a beautiful goddess
There are many films about representatives of Scandinavian mythology. Many of them are based on Marvel comics ("Marvel"). The film about the goddess Sigyn ("Because I love her") is liked by people of different generations. According to the story, she is about 21 years old. She comes from the Van family. This is a beautiful and pretty girl, self-confident, who prefers to live her mind. The character of Loki is also in the films "Thor", "Thor-2. The kingdom of darkness”, “Thor Ragnarok”.
Sigyn has great artistic talent, loves good books, and is great with people.
She has a blue stone, which is a talisman that protects the girl. It was created from sand and sea water by her adoptive father. The blue stone protects and empowers.
The film shows the nature of the goddess, relationships with loved ones, as well as her move to Asgard. There she was expected as the great princess she would become when she married Loki.
Sigynbrought to a chic palace, where she was destined to live from now on. And her father settled in another palace located nearby. This made the goddess feel more secure.
When she and Njord were on the road, he consoled her, calmed all her worries about a new life, focused her attention on her heart, which was very sensitive in her and caught even the slightest lie and pretense, and was also able to recognize true love.
Subsequently, becoming the wife of Loki, the goddess Sigyn could not worry about anything, because he became an excellent husband for her, gentle and caring. He protected and protected her. And Sigyn, in return, gave kind and bright consolation to other gods (including Loki and Odin).

As for the attitude towards the goddess from her worshipers - modern people who are followers and admirers of the Scandinavian gods, some create a real altar for worship for Sigyn.
