Loki’s Three Children

were Jörmungand (a monstrous serpent), Fenrir (a wolf), and Hela (half corpse and half queen). His wife was Siguna.

⁂ Loki is the personification of sin. Fenrir personifies the gnawings of a guilty conscience. Both Loki and Fenrir were chained by the Æshr, but not with iron chains. (Scandinavian mythology.)
