July For Loki, Day 31 The End

July for Loki, Day 31 • The End

Yay for me, and for all of you reading my posts of July for Loki!

It's been relatively hard to keep the focus for 30 days straight, following 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts; to write briefly and hopefully not too boringly about matters that would deserve pages and pages each was not easy. But it was good fun too, and a way to connect with my patron god even more deeply, which is always a good thing.

One of the services I've been asked to perform for Loki by Loki himself is to talk about him, speaking my own truth about the way I know him. Trust me, this is tough for me, since I used to be a pretty secretive person about my whole spiritual sphere. But hey, now this is part of my path, and it's a way to honor him, so that's why I felt this July for Loki was the right thing to do, the way I did it, after all.

The conclusion to my July for Loki will be simple: I send firey blessings to y'all, and may Lughnasadh bring you nothing but marvelous gifts! 🖤

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.

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 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?

This is so accurate it hurts.

art garfunkel: hey paul bestie. my favorite architect frank lloyd wright just died. can you write a song about him for me :)

paul simon: uhh yeah sure bud. i don’t know who that is though so i’m actually just gonna write it about you

paul simon: i am mourning the slow ongoing death of our close friendship and creative partnership but instead of saying anything im just going to write a lowkey ode to you but stick the name “frank lloyd wright” on it

paul simon: actually i’m going to write TWO songs about this exact point of contention instead of talking about it. what then huh. why are you breaking up with me
