Loki Laufeyjarson The Trickster, challenges the structure and order of the Gods which is necessary in bringing about needed change. God cursed, manipulator, traitor and sneaky, Loki makes nevertheless left the circle closed by the Gods of Asgard (undoubtedly, due to its resourcefulness in solving certain problems and achieving goals) There are also several sources, indirectly indicating the fiery nature of Loki. Loki’s origins and role in Norse mythology have been much debated. According to the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, Loki is the son of two giants, foster-brother of Odin and brother of Helblindi and Býleistr. (Worth noting, original Norse Loki and Marvel Loki are two absolutely different stories)
The Norns in Norse mythology (or Moirai - in Greek mythology) are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. They roughly correspond to other controllers of humans' destiny. Their names are Urd, Verdandi and Skuld. They dwell within the Well of Urd beneath Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that stands at the center of the universe and holds the Nine Worlds in its branches and roots. They shape destiny by carving runes into the trunk of the tree, or, in some sagas and poems, by weaving destiny like a web or tapestry.
In Norse mythology Hel (Goddess of the Underworld), Fenrir (wolf) and Jormungand (serpent) are children between Loki and the giantess Angrboda.

In Norse mythology, Sigyn is a goddess of fidelity and is the wife of Loki. 🐍 Sigyn stays with Loki during his punishment, (He is bound by the guts of his own son, the only fetters that he cannot destroy and the venom of snake drips onto his face) she holds out a bowl to catch the dripping venom. However, when the bowl becomes full she leaves to pour out the venom. As a result, Loki is again described as shaking so violently that the planet shakes, and this process repeats until he breaks free, setting Ragnarök into motion
