July For Loki Using 30 Days Of Deity Devotion Prompts, Day 27 Worst Misconception About Loki That You

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 27 • Worst misconception about Loki that you have encountered

Too many to count! xD

What troubles me the most is probably the superficiality with which some describe him, reducing him to either a merely evil entity, or to the court jester of Ásgarðr. Yes, he can be mischievous; yes, he can be a bad guy; yes, he can be a jokester; but he has MANY faces, and some of those to me are more prominent than those he’s most (in)famous for. He's fun, he's loving, he's wise, he's a warrior in many ways… There's a lot to discover about Loki, and I wish people would stop misjudging him - or maybe not. Maybe that’s the way it should be, after all. Maybe some are destined to stay on the surface of things, without ever going deeper.

paul simon writing sad songs about his feelings towards art garfunkel but disguising the songs as being about other things and then making art sing the songs……is just…..next level messy

I don't blame Artie for not getting the hint, mind you. I'm sometimes oblivious too, I understand. But that's sad. And funny at the same time, lol. But mostly sad. Hell of a song, anyway!

“i’m mad paul simon didn’t tell me so long, frank lloyd wright was about me” i don’t know. is that on him or is it on you? did he harmonize till dawn with the dead architect or with you? did frank lloyd wright inspire him to write songs when he ran dry, or was it you?

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 29 • Any interesting or unusual UPG to share?

Neon Goats.

So many strange things happen when you deal with Loki, that I had to ask my good friend Sigyn if she, as an external observer, could name an unusual thing I told her about my experiences with Loki. Being the godsdamn genius she is, she came up with the brightest (literally) hint: neon Goats!

The Helheimr does that mean, you ask?

Well, it’s a vision I had last Winter, on a feverish night. I found myself in a place that vaguely resembled Iceland, only everything was neon. And there were all kinds of neon Goats all over the place. All kind of Goats: domestic Goats, Alpine Ibexes, Chamois… name a Goat, or an animal resembling a Goat, and it most likely was there. As I woke from this psychedelic dream, I remember thinking about Loki, and smiling because I felt him near. Via neon Goats. 

Makes sense, uh?

Well, in fact he’s tied (pun intended) to Goats, according to the myths, so it might not be a random association, but I’ve never heard of neon Goats (nor neon animals in general) associated with him. Therefore, I agree with Sigyn: this must definitely be my most unusual UPG.

To honor this vision, after I found a Chamoix skull in a thrift market, I decorated it with neon acrylic paints. Not a particularly excellent work, since I’m not a pro of course, but I had good fun painting it according to the colors of my vision. It’s been sitting on Loki’s altar since, and he seems to enjoy this funny gift too.
