Bowl Catching Gods Loving Norse Poisonous Punish Saves Seek Trickster Venom Loki Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
In Norse mythology, Loki, the god of mischief and trickery, was known for his cunning and ability to cause chaos. One of his most infamous acts involved the god Odin's horse, Odin's Eight-Legged Steed, which Loki blinded by replacing it with a horse that looked identical but was actually a shape-shifted stallion. As a result, the gods sought to punish Loki for his deceitful actions. One of the most severe punishments inflicted upon Loki was the binding of the god with the venomous serpent, Jormungandr, whose poisonous fangs dripped venom onto Loki's face. The venom was so potent that it could have killed Loki instantly. However, Loki's loving wife, Sigyn, the goddess of compassion and fidelity, came to his aid. In this historical print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we see Sigyn faithfully standing by her husband, holding a large bowl beneath Jormungandr's venomous fangs to catch the poison. This selfless act allowed Loki to survive the constant dripping of venom, demonstrating the depth of Sigyn's love and devotion to her husband. The image is a captivating representation of the Norse gods and their mythology, showcasing the intricate details of the gods' world and the complex relationships between them. The photo print, with its rich historical significance, transports us back to the ancient world of Norse mythology and offers a glimpse into the lives of these fascinating deities. This image is a powerful reminder of the enduring bond between Loki and Sigyn, a testament to the power of love and devotion, even in the face of adversity. The print is a must-have for anyone interested in Norse mythology, history, or mythology in general, and is a beautiful addition to any home or office.
