Shop: Loki's Punishment, on a skateboard

The punishment of Loki is a significant event in Norse mythology, following his role in the death of the god Baldr. After Baldr's death, the gods captured Loki, who had fled and taken on various disguises. Once caught, Loki was bound in a cave as punishment. The gods used the entrails of his son, Vali, to bind him to three stones, one under his shoulders, one under his loins, and one under his knees. A venomous serpent was placed above Loki's head, dripping poison onto his face. To ease his suffering, Loki's wife, Sigyn, stood by his side, catching the venom in a bowl. However, whenever she had to empty the bowl, the poison would drip onto Loki, causing him to writhe in agony, which was said to cause earthquakes. Loki's punishment was to last until Ragnarok, the end of the world, when he would break free and fight against the gods.
