Angrboða Angrboda was a giantess with reddish hair and muscular. Her hair had the color of the dried blood. Her name meant “The one who gives grief” or “She who brings sorrow”. The materials of this Grief Giver were much fewer than those of Frigg or Freyr. This giantess, however, was an extremely powerful figure in Norse myth. According to some sources, she was the leader of the Wolf Clan. She was a warrior-women, a werewolf shapeshifter, as well as the priest, and the magician.The giantess was very choosy about who she would work with. Whoever she did not like for any reason, she would reject. She had great skills in hunting, shapeshifting, and prophesying.
She was a remarkable Volva , The most remarkable part of her life was being the wife of Loki and the mother of three notorious children. Loki spent part of his life living with Angrboda and the other part with the other wife Sigyn. She and Loki had three children: Wolf Fenrir, Serpent Jormungandr, and Hel. These “little children” of hers were the ones who ignited the deadly flames of Ragnarok the End of Gods.Though being chained and separated, Loki and their children united on the threshold of Ragnarok. Together they built up the giant army with the dead warriors from Helheim over which Hel Goddess of Death presided. Loki’s army smashed everything in sight when they came to Asgard. There they had the bloodiest battle with the Gods until the entirety of the world met its doom.
The very extraordinary traits of Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel might be partly ascribed to their powerful mother. Her direct connection with Loki and three infamous monsters proved Angrboda a mighty Norse figure.
