About this audiobook
This captivating book takes you deep into the infamous legacy of Loki and his wife Sigyn. As a controversial and misunderstood figure in Heathenry, Loki is often approached with trepidation. But this book introduces you to his true self: a trickster, but a devoted husband and creative problem-solver, too. You'll also learn about Sigyn, the often forgotten goddess of loyalty and compassion.
Join Heathen author Lea Svendsen on a rich exploration of these two Norse deities, together and separate. Discover their adventures in parenthood, their complicated relationships with other gods, and the entertaining exploits that only a trickster can accomplish. Learn how to set up an altar to each of them, what offerings they like, and how to perform rituals. You'll also find insights on Loki and Sigyn from Pagan and Heathen leaders.

Reviews for Loki and Sigyn
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
5/5
11 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fantastic. Amazing. I felt such a strong connection to Loki and Sigyn both whilst listening to this. Would definitely recommend for anyone who’s starting off or years in their relationship with either of or both of them, and just wants to deepen their interaction and understanding of them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5WOW! This was such an incredible book! This is an absolute MUST for anyone interested in Loki or wanting to know how to begin their path with the Trickster. The author’s love for Loki (whom she affectionately refers to as “The Twerp”) really shines through.
