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.

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.

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