Ok, so y’all know how tensions started to rise during the Bookends recording and Art wrote Paul the long letter telling about his hard feelings toward Paul and the duo? Now go listen to Overs.

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.

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! 🖤

Y’know that line in So Long, Frank Lloyd Wright? The one that says, “when I run dry, I stop awhile and think of you.” Paul’s saying when he can’t think of songs to write, he turns to a muse. And who is that song about? Art. Paul just literally confessed to using Art as a muse for his songwriting.
