July For Loki Using 30 Days Of Deity Devotion Prompts, Day 30 Any Suggestions For Others Just Starting

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 30 • Any suggestions for others just starting to learn about Loki?

Don’t approach him lightly. But if you feel drawn to him, or if you sense he’s calling you, follow your instinct.

Nevermind what you’ve been told about him, or what you read about him: make your own experiences with him.

Be respectful, but have no fear. He’s a god, not evil nor cruel. Respect him, and he’ll show you the Nine Worlds and beyond.

Read the myths, read the books, but try to remember this: the deities are ALIVE, right here, right now. Does it really matter who they were eons ago? Does it matter who you were two decades ago? Yes, it can give people a hint, but the reality is far more complex than someone’s past. The deities are alive, just like you and me - well, not exactly in the same way, but you get the idea. Yes, I read the myths, I studied them, I know the stories since I was a little child, and you know what? I know for sure that Loki is FAR more than those myths. All deities are. Just like we are much more than a couple of episodes people remember us for. So guess what? If you want to know who Loki was, read the myths and study the history. But if you want to know who Loki IS, listen to him. I'll never grow tired of repeating this.

Listen.

To.

Him.

Oh, and a couple of witchy tips: don’t try to play him for a fool, and don’t approach him with the wrong attitude, or you’ll get burned.

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.

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

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 25 • A time when this deity has refused to help

I don’t usually ask Loki for help, as my previous post demonstrates. I pray for his guidance, instead. I ask him to show me the way, to inspire me, to enlighten me, and thus far he’s never denied me his blessing. Which doesn’t mean I ask him silly things, of course, but in my experience he’s not one to refuse to guide those who need his help. His help may lead to difficult steps, for sure, and he often encourages us to face our worst fears - and our inner selves, which can be even more frightening. But he’s there for us, rest assured.

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?
