When God of mischief and strife- Loki, murdered God of beauty and light- Baldr, he was chained in a cave with a snake-mounted above his head dripping venom. Loki’s wife stood with a bowl to catch the poison, but whenever she emptied the bowl, the poison dripped on Loki’s face that forced him to shake his head away.
