Database: Angrboda

Angrboda has been variously translated as "the one who brings grief," "she who offers sorrow," or "harm-bidder," which ought to give you an idea of what a sparkling ray of sunshine this lady was. Other sources have called her "truth giver." It was a curse. The truth is sometimes the most harmful thing of all.

This Jotun witch was the mistress of Loki and a formidable sorceress feared throughout Jotunheim. She dwelt in the Iron Wood among her illusions, and Loki visited her often, sneaking away from his home in Asgard to plot and scheme and do other things I'm far too English to mention.
