When Loki was bound to three rocks for the murder of Baldr, Sigyn did not abandon him. Instead, she collected the venom that dripped down from the snake above him in a bowl. When the bowl was full, Sigyn left to empty it and the venom dripped into Loki's eyes. Loki's pain from the venom was said to be so intense that his thrashing caused earthquakes.
Her name according to some sources means: "Victory giver". Another spelling of Sigyn is "Sigunn".
Sigyn hoped to use Blake as a bargaining tool for Loki's release, but as she cast a spell to capture him, it backfired and Blake was destroyed.
Sigyn caught the venom in a bowl to save him, but every time she emptied the bowl, the venom would again strike him in the face.
Sigyn stayed by his side during this time to catch the venom in a bowl before it dripped on to him, but every time she turned away to empty the bowl, the venom dripped on Loki and scalded him like acid.
