Sigyn combines the Old Norse sigr (victory) and vin (friend). **Sigyn** was the Norse goddess and **wife of Loki** — who, when Loki was bound in a cave with a venomous serpent dripping poison on his face, **held a bowl over him to catch the venom**, emptying it only when full, **for all eternity**. **A figure of absolute marital devotion in Norse myth.**
Featured in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda.
Sigyn reduces to seven — the number of faithful Norse wife.
