It’s like this: Sigmund and his nine brothers have been betrayed by Siggeir.  He has left them bound outside to die slowly.   Every night, Siggeir’s mother turns into a wolf and eats one of the brothers, until only Sigmund is left.  But Signy (Siggeir’s wife) falls in love with Sigmund and decides to save him.  She has face smeared with honey, so when the werewolf comes that night, the wolf starts to lick the honey and Sigmund bites her tongue.  In the ensuing fight, the wolf claws through Sigmund’s bindings, and he then overpowers her and kills her. Right. This story is from the ancient Völsungasaga, and the scene above appears on early English coins, as well as throughout Germanic countries.

Oooo, blood and dragons!  Another two-for-one. This is from Michael Manning’s version of the Nieblungenlied.  Manning is probably better known to readers of this blog as a famous pen-and-ink fetish pornographer.  Sigurd is making himself invulnerable using the famous dragon’s-blood-body-wash technique.
