Sigyun (sometimes you can meet Sigunn or Sigrun) is a minor goddess in Scandinavian mythology, the faithful and faithful 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 beautiful wife and mother.
The unusual story of God and the goddess, the meeting of future spouses, the wedding night of Loki and Shigun will be discussed in our article. We will also offer you a brief description of the plot of the film about their life.
General information
Goddess Sigyun is the adopted daughter of the Lord of the sea waves and wind Nyerda. She is gentle, kind and cheerful. God Loki is the adopted son of the Scandinavian god Odin. He is formidable, fiery, sometimes unrestrained in utterances.
By nature, these two are complete opposites. However, they became for each other not just husband and wife, but the best partners, friends, associates.
Most of all they are 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 severely punish him by imprisoning him in a cave and tying his own son (who was also killed) to the stone with the intestines. Above his head, Loki was strengthened by a snake exuding poison. Dripping on the body of the unfortunate, he caused terrible pain and suffering.
But the goddess Shigyun, being a faithful and loving wife, followed her husband to help ease his torment. She collected poison in a bowl and poured it out of the cave.
Ancient sources (“Edda”) say that in these moments (when the spouse was away), Loki trembled terribly in convulsions from the pain caused by the deadly poison of the snake, and this contributed to the fact that earthquakes occurred throughout the Earth.
A meeting
Goddess Sigyun and Loki first met in the garden of her adoptive father, Nierd. She was then still quite a child, but so charming and bright that at first glance captivated the heart of Loki, who had already been married by then.
During their first meeting, the future husband presented Shigyun with a magical flower, which she kept for many years as a reminder of that happy day.
From that moment, Loki began to visit the girl often to see her, chat, and bring a gift. Soon she realized that she wanted to become his wife.
When the Shigun turned 15, she married the god Loki.
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, Shigun and Loki had to go to their chambers after the wedding feast to fulfill their conjugal duty.
But they outwitted everyone, having built powerful crystals protection in their possessions, including a specially selected record with bed scenes, and they went for a walk, going out into the street through the emergency exit.
The plan was a success. Many months passed after this night, but the young couple’s reputation was unequivocal - they were perceived as burning and passionate lovers (thanks to that record).
The shiguns were all considered a strong, temperamental goddess. Some masculine representatives were even afraid of her.
And Loki, many respected as a strong god, a man and a ruler who dared to marry such a passionate goddess.
So unusual was the first wedding night of Loki and Sigyun, who made so much noise in the kingdom.
Goddess Description
According to legend, the little Sigyun was once found in the forest by representatives of the noble family of Van. She was then 4-5 years old. Since then, she lived as the adopted daughter of Nyerd - the lord of the sea and wind.
In appearance, Shigun resembled these elements, as if she were the real daughter of her adoptive father. Her eyes were color similar to the depths of the blue sea, her hair was dark as the sky during a storm, and her character was stormy and changeable, like the ocean and the wind.
But the girl grew kind and sympathetic. Those around the Vanov family took care of her and loved her as her own.
Shigun loved flowers very much, and therefore she was often in the garden, where she once met her future husband, Loki.
In general, Vana is a wise and ancient people who wanted to live peacefully with everyone around them. Ases are young and belligerent, and therefore constantly provoked clashes and contributed to the fact that periodically between the peoples wars took place.
It was to the second that Loki belonged. And his adoptive father - God Odin - in order to reconcile the warring parties, decided to intermarry with the Vanami. Which happened when Shigun turned 15 years old.
For young people, a castle was built in Asgard, which was located on the sea coast.

The most striking of them are the following:
- Mild disposition.
- Tenderness.
- The fun.

- Curiosity.
- Playfulness.
- Innocence.
- Romance.
- Daydreaming.

Even as an adult, she looked like a pretty girl who captivates and makes everyone present see joy and feel happiness.
Shigun is unpretentious and sensitive to the most secret, the most subtle features of the soul and heart (one's own, as well as other people). This quality is not given to all gods.
She is a consolation and protection against many storms and problems. In it, one husband found real peace of mind. Love and friendship are those shrines that are important and revered by the goddess.
However, Shigyun has his own opinion, has independence and self-confidence. As for relationships with loved ones, she does not know compromises, and lies and betrayal are concepts alien to her.
What personifies
Who is the goddess Shigun? For modern followers of Scandinavian mythology, this beautiful woman personifies many aspects of both the female and the universal.
In addition, Shigun is the embodiment of a truly humble and meek wife who loves and respects her husband. In addition, she is also a cute 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 internal balance and harmony positively affect the life of an adult.
It is important to stop being afraid to look ridiculous and strange in the eyes of others, to allow yourself from time to time to show childish immediacy, sincerity, joy for others' successes.
Goddess Shigun, like no other, helps to be healed from within. Thanks to it, heart wounds heal, life seems brighter, there is a desire to help other people, especially children.
Shigun is also the patroness of babies, especially those who do not have parental care or who live in a family without wealth - material or spiritual (those children whose parents are not involved and are not interested).
You can figuratively describe her relationship with children as follows: Shigun gently hugs a child, anxiously presses broken toys to his chest, protects kids from danger. She also has fun and laughs sweetly.
At the same time, the goddess accepts the face of shyness and childhood, so others want to take care of her. These are the sides of true femininity: a child, a woman, a mother, a mistress.
Films about the beautiful goddess
There are many films about the representatives of Scandinavian mythology. Many of them are based on Marvel comics ("Marvel"). The film about the goddess Shigun ("Because I love her") is liked by people of different generations. In the story, she is about 21 years old. She comes from the family of Van. This is a beautiful and pretty girl, self-confident, who prefers to live with her mind. Loki’s character is also in the films “Thor”, “Thor-2. The kingdom of darkness ”,“ Tor Ragnarok ”.
Shigun has tremendous creativity in painting, loves good books and is well versed in people.
She has a blue stone, which is a talisman protecting a girl. He was created from sand and sea water by her adoptive father. Blue stone protects and gives strength.
The film shows the character of the goddess, relationships with loved ones, as well as her move to Asgard. There they waited for her as the great princess she would become by marrying Loki.
Shigun was brought to a chic palace, where she was now destined to live. And her father settled in another palace located nearby. So the goddess felt more secure.
When he and Nyrd were on the road, he consoled her, calmed all her worries about her new life, focused her attention on her heart, which was very sensitive and captured even the slightest lie and pretense, and was also able to recognize true love.
Subsequently, becoming the wife of Loki, the goddess Shigyun could not worry about anything, for he had become an excellent spouse for her, gentle and caring. He protected and protected her. And Shigyun in return gave good and bright comfort to other gods (including Loki and Odin).

Therefore, in the place where she is worshiped, there are always toys, sweets, sweet things to the heart (for example, rose quartz in the form of crystals, since this is a symbol of true femininity).
She, like a small child, so directly asks to buy her toys, sweets and other cute little things, that there is no way to do this. Of course, she asks, not for real, but in people's thoughts. Many sincerely believe that the goddess accepts their gifts, and in return gives joy and happiness.
