July For Loki Using 30 Days Of Deity Devotion Prompts, Day 28 Something You Wish You Knew About This

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 28 • Something you wish you knew about this deity but don’t currently

Not something that involves him directly: I hope I get to know his children Narfi and Váli better, in time. I’ve had a couple of distant contacts in the past, but I felt they were kinda shy, more afraid than I was, though curious and kinda surprised by the “visit”. Their story is indescribably painful and sad, so it’s no wonder they tend to hide a bit. 

“Now Loki was taken truceless, and was brought with them into a certain cave. Thereupon they took three flat stones, and set them on edge and drilled a hole in each stone. Then were taken Loki's sons, Váli and Nari or Narfi; the Æsir changed Váli into the form of a wolf, and he tore asunder Narfi his brother. And the Æsir took his entrails and bound Loki with them over the three stones: one stands under his shoulders, the second under his loins, the third under his boughs; and those bonds were turned to iron. Then Skaði took a venomous serpent and fastened it up over him, so that the venom should drip from the serpent into his face. But Sigyn, his wife, stands near him and holds a basin under the venom-drops; and when the basin is full, she goes and pours out the venom, but in the meantime the venom drips into his face. Then he writhes against it with such force that all the earth trembles: ye call that ‘earthquakes’. There he lies in bonds till the Weird of the Gods." {{Gylfaginning, from The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, transl. by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur}}

My heart longs to celebrate these forgotten children as they deserve. As the rightful gods they are.

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.

I took a nap and dreamed Loki was playing the fiddle and singing a drinking song with the message of, "The roads we have to travel tomorrow are long with lots of bad weather, but right now we are here together and drunk and that's what matters most right now."

It might sound kind of silly on paper, but it was incredibly comforting.
