I don’t think Norse mythology ever explicity states what it is that Sigyn rules over, as a goddess. It is, of course, totally possible that I am mistaken - I am no authority, by any means. I just don’t remember having ever seen that distinction made in anything I’ve read thus far. The only similiar thing I can think of is that her name roughly means “victorious” or the kenning “Incantation Fetter” which, in all honesty, I can’t remember the origin of (I’m sure that when I discovered this bit of info it was accompanied by a source, but for the life of me I don’t know what that might have been or if it was, in fact, present).
As such, it’s very interesting to me to see what people associate her as being the goddess of (that was a weird sentence). I’ve seen goddess of fidelity, goddess of constancy, and a couple other things along those lines. From what I can infer these are all based on her relationship to Loki, specifically to the role she plays as far as the myth of his binding goes.
Anyhoo…this brought on by some Avanger’s-related art I saw and found interesting. But while I’m at it, I thought I would include a piece from Gangleri’s Grove, 73 Adorations to Sigyn.
Kinda hard *not* to get get a rush of nostalgic Supernatural excitement when you see the Carry on my Wayward Son season recap.
However, I haven’t been watching, so I’ll just have to hold off on watching the finale, though suddenly I do want to watch it again.
Damn it awesome recaps…

“While it’s nice to see folks out there giving this book five stars, and in some cases even reviewing it, I’ll admit that I’m kinda puzzled.
After thinking it over for a while, I’ve realized there’s only one explanation for this:
Time travelers love my books.
This is strangely reassuring, as it lets me know that, eventually, I do finish my revisions, and the book turns out good enough so that I still have a following out there in the big ball of wibbly-wobbly…. timey-wimey…. stuff that I like to think of as the future.
I would also like to say, future readers, that I appreciate your taking time to read and review my books. It’s really flattering knowing that even with time-travel technology at your disposal, you’d rather read my stuff and mention it here on goodreads, rather than, say, hunt dinosaurs, get drunk with da Vinci, or pants Hitler.
Secondly, I’d like to say if you’re The Doctor, and you’re reading this, I would make an excellent traveling companion. I know you normally tend to hang out with pretty young women and robot dogs. And honestly? I respect that.
Still, I bring certain things to the table. Humor, witty banter, and a beard that will allow me to blend in seamlessly with any pre-industrial Germanic culture. I’m also an excellent kisser and play a mean game of Settlers of Catan.
Just throwing it out there.
Lastly, if any of you happen to have a digital copy of the book you’d like to e-mail me, I’d really appreciate it. I’d love to see the five-star version of the book, because right now, the one I’m toiling away at is about a three an a half-in my opinion. It would save me a lot of work if I could just skip to the end and publish it.
Sincerely yours,
pat”
Fellow pagany/writery type peoples! Since I so often forget to keep informed about when EHS is open for submissions and get something ready I though I’d give y’all a heads up. Looks like they’re open for their summer solstice issue until June 1st, so let’s get writing!
