Sigyn is the devoted Norse wife of Loki, who stays by his side as he is bound beneath a serpent, catching its venom in a bowl to spare him pain. When she empties it, his writhing causes earthquakes. Her loyalty appears in the Prose Edda. Poets invoke Sigyn as the ultimate symbol of fidelity, endurance, and quiet sacrifice in the face of cosmic suffering.

Sigyn is the loyal wife of Loki, renowned for holding a bowl to catch venom dripping on her bound husband, as described in Gylfaginning. When she empties the bowl, the poison strikes Loki, causing earthquakes. Students should view Sigyn as the ultimate symbol of wifely devotion amid suffering—her vigil humanizes Loki’s punishment. In Völuspá, she is "Loki’s companion in grief," emphasizing shared fate. Sigyn’s silent endurance contrasts with Loki’s chaos, illustrating Norse ideals of fidelity and stoicism. In poetry, "Sigyn’s bowl" could kenning for patience or shared burden. Her role is minor but emotionally resonant, offering a lens into Norse conceptions of love, loyalty, and the cost of divine justice.
