I have great affection for Loviatar, but only because of the ahistorical portrayal in AD&D.

As a finnish witch I have to say this: I like the text, but actually the ninth son was named; as Envy and curses for all the land. Ninth son of Loviatar was a pest for all; the evergrowing one in harm, and also a beginning of all the wicked witches and sorceress that did people harm. In a way Loviatar is a witch-goddess of Finland, too.
And the most feared of all Loviatar’s sons was actually Wolf; A beast-like son who only ate the flesh of the living and chewed on bones of the dead.

That’s not actually her. That’s a painting called “Night” by Edward Robert Hughes and I use it when I can’t find a picture of my featured Goddess. Envy wasn’t named because he was the most fearsome of Loviatar’s sons. It’s one of those “so frightening that you can’t say his name” kind of things.

She is quite beautiful despite the birth of 9 sons who are all quite leacherous. Why wasn’t
envy” named?
