July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 3 • Symbols and icons of Loki.
How to portray a single aspect of a shapeshifter? Impossible! Let's see some favorite icons/symbols of mine, though.
He's a Fire god, so whatever form of Fire, even a humble tealight, can be both a homage and a channel to him. Among the historical icons, the Snaptun Stone, the fascinating hearth stone with Loki’s face carved on it, is a personal favorite representation of him, along with the Gnezdovo mask which shows him smiling, the Vejen one with his lips sewn, and a couple of powerful depictions of him in chains. These are all proofs that Loki was an important figure in ancient Norse paganism, if ever such proof was needed (and yes, it was, and still is). In my personal experience, he seems to particularly enjoy these ones too.
But Loki is not stuck in the past, nor is he confined on an altar. Lots of natural elements, animals and plants can remind us of him, according to our practice, so here's a few that are particularly dear to me. Fire, of course; rivers; lightning; lava rocks; sulphur; obsidian, carnelian, fire opal/agate and dark/firey crystals in general; dandelions; foxes; hawks; poisonous plants; horned/antlered animals; vultures/scavenger animals; snakes; salmon; spiders; cinnamon; coffee; whiskey...
The list could go on forever as it's basically endless. My practice with him brought me to experience Loki as a 360° deity, so my suggestion to you is, if you're wondering whether something is a sign from him or not, don't trust such lists: go ask him. He's usually quite kind. Kinda. 😏
July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 4 • A favorite myth or myths of this deity
I'll choose a (relatively) recent one, Loka Táttur or Lokka Táttur ("tale of Loki"), a ballad from the Faroe Islands, probably dating to the late Middle Ages.
A farmer loses a bet with a giant, Skrymir, who demands his son. The farmer asks first Odin, then Hœnir, and finally Loki for assistance. Both Odin and Hoenir come to help, but ultimately it's Loki that saves the day (and the child). I find this story charming, as it shows Loki being asked for help by humans, answering and solving their problem - with a bit of magic and mischief, of course, otherwise why would one call upon him, after all? The ballad also features Odin and Hœnir, who form a kind of sacred trinity with Loki/Lóðurr, often appearing together in older myths too - you might know the story of Þjazi in the Prose Edda, for example. Furthermore, this story reinforces his bond with Water and fish, just like the myth where he turns into Salmon. Intriguing, for a Fire god! I love this ballad for too many reasons to describe in such few words, but the main reasons is because it shows an aspect of Loki that many tend to forget: his loving, caring heart. He's mischievous, yes, he's a Trickster, yes, but he's more than willing to help those who need him, and this ballad sings about this oh so beautifully.

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 5 • Members of the family – genealogical connections
Loki Laufeyjarson, Loki Son of Laufey. Laufey is Loki's mother: Laufey the leafy Ásynja (female Æsir), Laufey the Birch set on fire by the mighty Jötunn Fárbauti, the Lightning that strikes and brings the flames to the ground. According to this myth, Loki is of Jötunn and Æsir blood, belonging to both worlds and none at the same time, making him a liminal being from the very beginning. I personally feel Laufey is originally a Jötunn, later included among the Ásynja, but it's an UPG (unverified personal gnosis). Laufey gave birth to two other children, Helblindi and Býleistr, Loki's brothers. Sigyn is Loki's wife, and little is known about her. According to my own feeling, she belongs to the Jötnar too, but it's another UPG. Together they have two sons, Narfi and Váli. The Lady of Járnvid (Ironwood), Angrboða, conceived three powerful children with Loki: Hela, Queen of the Dead; Fenrisúlfr, the Wolf Fenrir; Jörmungandr, Miðgarðsormr, the Sea Serpent that hugs Miðgarð. To all of these children, Loki is father. And yet there is another children, too often forgotten, to which Loki is mother: Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse he conceived in the form of a mare with the stallion Svaðilfari. You may be familiar with Sleipnir being Óðinn's mount. Óðinn is also Loki's blood brother by oath, another detail some prefer to forget. Their relationship may be complex, but if we wanna talk about Loki's connections it seems only fair to me to include his good old friend Grímnir (Hooded, Masked One), too.
When Loki chooses to "work" with you, he'll introduce you to his family, sooner or later, in no particular order. He's a family person, and just loves his dear ones, especially his children, with all his burning heart.

Ok, Loki and Salmon? I mean.. what's not to love here?? 😍
[Bust of a grinning Loki hugging a salmon with a fish hook in the foreground and burnt fishing net in the background.]
“ –he [Loki] ran off and hid himself in a certain mountain; there he made a house with four doors, so that he could see out of the house in all directions. Often throughout the day he turned himself into the likeness of a salmon and hid himself in the place called Fránangr-Falls; then he would ponder what manner of wile the gods would devise to take him in the water-fall. But when he sat in the house, he took twine of linen and knitted meshes as a net is made since; but a fire burned before him. Then he saw that the Æsir were close upon him; and Odin had seen from Hlidskjálf where he was. He leaped up at once and out into the river, but cast the net into the fire. When the Æsir had come to the house, he went in first who was wisest of all, who is called Kvasir; and when he saw in the fire the white ash where the net had burned, then he perceived that that thing must be a device for catching fish, and told it to the Æsir.
Straightway they took hold, and made themselves a net after the pattern of the one which they perceived, by the burnt-out ashes, that Loki had made. When the net was ready, then the Æsir went to the river and cast the net into the fall; Thor held one end of the net, and all of the Æsir held the other, and they drew the net. But Loki darted ahead and lay down between two stones; they drew the net over him, and perceived that something living was in front of it. A second time they went up to the fall and cast out the net, having bound it to something so heavy that nothing should be able to pass under it. Then Loki swam ahead of the net; but when he saw that it was but a short distance to the sea, then he jumped up over the net-rope and ran into the fall. Now the Æsir saw where he went, and went up again to the fall and divided the company into two parts, but Thor waded along in mid-stream; and so they went out toward the sea.
Now Loki saw a choice of two courses: it was a mortal peril to dash out into the sea; but this was the second–to leap over the net again. And so he did: be leaped as swiftly as he could over the net-cord. Thor clutched at him and got hold of him, and he slipped in Thor’s hand, so that the hand stopped at the tail; and for this reason the salmon has a tapering back.” -GYLFAGINNING LOKI II ON REDBUBBLE
July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 7 • Names and epithets
•Loptr: airy one or lofty one, from the Old Norse lopt (air, sky, or heavens). One of my favorite bynames for Loki, it underlines its bond to the element Air and I find it so fascinating!
•Gammleið: Vulture’s-Path, possibly a kenning for Air itself too, but even more intriguing when we think that Vulture is a scavenger animal, and Fire, Loki’s main element, is also a way to the Otherworld through the sacred ritual of cremation. So, is Loki a Death god too? In my experience, he totally is.
•Lóður: some see Lóður as a god on his own, but I agree with Dagulf Loptson’s analysis and think that’s another name of Loki. Lóður, with Óðinn and Hœnir, basically creates humanity: as they were walking together on a beach they came across two fallen trees, Askr (ash) and Embla (elm). Each god blessed them with a gift: Óðinn with önd (breath), Hœnir with óð (spirit or senses), Lóður with lá (blood?) and litu góða (good color). When Loki meets the Jötunn Þrymr, he calls him Lóður
•Vé: in Gylfaginning, Snorri replaces the names Hœnir and Lóður with the even more mysterious names Vili (will) and Vé (shrine). Assuming Lóður and Loki are the same, so should be Vé and Loki.
•Hveðrung, Roarer, probably a reference to his being a god of Fire.
•Inn Bundi Áss: The Bound God, referred to Loki’s punishment of being imprisoned and tied in a cave, waiting for Ragnarök.
•Frumkveða Flærðanna: Father of Lies, which is funny, because though Loki is of course cunning and smart, and more than capable of using lies to get out of trouble, his devotees know him for being, in fact, the god of truth. Harsh truths, too, but true all the same.
•Inn Slægi Áss: The Cunning God, what were we saying? Yes, he’s sly as a Fox, and brings the Æsir precious gifts thanks to this, not to mention how often he gets them out of trouble.
•Goða Dólgr: Enemy of Gods, one can’t blow the Nine Worlds to Helheim without being considered an enemy of these touchy Æsir.
•”Föðurbróður, vársinna ok sessa Óðins ok ása”, from Skáldskaparmál, Prose Edda: “brother, comrade, and table companion of Óðinn and the gods”. This pretty much explains itself.

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 8 • Variations on Loki (aspects, regional forms, etc.).
Tough prompt! I decided to focus on Loki's presence in the spoken language, which also gives an idea of his presence in many countries. A list of Scandinavian names containing Loki’s name is provided by Axel Olrik in “Loke in the Younger Tradition”, an interesting read. Dagulf Loptson talks of this in his Playing with Fire book, and here's a brief list of examples. In 12th century Northumberland, England, lived a man named Locchi. In Småland, Sweden, Locke is a hereditary surname. In Uppland, Sweden, the name “Luki” appears on a rune stone. Places named Lockbol, Luckabol, Lockesta, and Locastum remind of ours truly. J. Grimm tells of a giant’s grave in Vestergötland, Sweden, named Lokehall. A Norse settler was called Þórbjørn Loki, and another man was named Þórðrloki. Snorri Sturluson’s foster-father was Jón Loptsson (“son of Lopt”). In the Faroe Islands, where Loka Táttur takes place, we have Lokkafelli (Loki’s Fell). Last but not least, the star Sirius is known in Scandinavia as Lokabrenna (“Loki’s Torch”).
There are also some very interesting popular sayings that tell us a lot about the relationship between Loki and the humans. In Denmark, we find: “Lokke is reaping his oats”, “Lokke drives his goats”: air shimmering with heat or flickering lights. “Lokke the playing man”: Sun glimmering off water and creating flickering lights. “Loke drinks water”: sunbeams break through clouds and touch the land or sea. “Lokke watches his goat herd”: heat flutters from the ground like leaping goats. In Sweden and Norway, we have: “Lokje beats his children”: the hearth fire makes a loud, cracking noise. People in Telemark throw the skin from boiled milk into the hearth fire as a sacrifice to Lokje. In Sweden, a child who loses a tooth throws it into the fire and says: “Locke, give me a bone-tooth for a gold-tooth”. In Iceland, “Lokadaun” or “Lokalykt”: a sulphurous odor. “Lokabrenna”: the heat of summer.
So, pretty much everywhere Loki was and is honored as a Fire god, very near to us humans.

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 9 • Common mistakes about Loki
Countless. So here are just a few I've heard myself.
•He's evil, "the Norse Satan" (as if Satan was originally evil himself, but that's another story). False. No deity is good or evil, but I guess it's easier to separate rather than consider the whole of reality.
•He's the bad boy of Ásgarðr, rebel without a cause, always messing around. False. He definitely knows how to create Chaos, and enjoys it from time to time, but he mostly loves to travel the Nine Worlds and take good care of his family and his people.
•He's dangerous to "work with". May be true, it wholly depends on your attitude - but isn't that so for any spirit/entity/deity?
•He will destroy your life. False. He will destroy what needs to be burnt, only to let what really matters grow free. That may include a huge part of the false truths you built around and for yourself. but would you rather live in constant denial of who you are?
•He will lie to you. Absolutely false. He will tear you apart with the hardest truths you never had the courage to face, he'll guide you and show you how to deal with them, and you'll be finally free.
•His devotees are dangerous people. Well. If I may say so myself. Just joking! Us lokeans generally tend to be respectful and inclusive people. You can always find the occasional arsehole, as everywher; but maybe because most of us experienced hard times in our lives, we tend to be compassionate towards others. Of course, Loki also teaches us not to take bullshit from anyone, so if you consider growing tired of your unfairness being a bad person, then yes, a lokean would probably very bad for you.

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 13 • What modern cultural issues are closest to Loki’s heart?
Many.
Loki has a big heart. It burns with love for the oppressed, and with rage towards the oppressors. If you're a victim of injustice, whatever form of injustice, you can trust him for help. He's very protective of his devotees, and he understands the burden of being an outcast; an innocent blamed for something they didn't do; someone cruelly punished for following their own nature. He understands. And he stands with us. He fights by our side for our chains to be shattered, he does so from the beginning of time itself.
There are many things that just don't work in our society. Hate and discrimination still go strong. So if you're among the hated, know that you will always find comfort in him. Maybe you're part of the LGBTQ+ community and you struggle with people around you; maybe your skin, or your accent, or your life choices are different from your judging neighbours'; maybe you're a woman fighting for her body; maybe you're a man who doesn't wanna be like the society taught you to be; maybe you're a frightened child, hiding in a corner, calling for their Dad. Well. He's there. Call him by his name, and he will comfort you. And his love will heal the bruises of the hate. And his flame will burn the haters' hearts. Call him. We should all call him to teach us how to set ourselves free and help us destroy this sick nightmare that's dying around us, before it drags us down in its own grave.

July for Loki using 30 Days of Deity Devotion prompts, Day 18 • How does Loki stand in terms of gender and sexuality? (Historical and/or UPG)
“A heart ate Loki,-- | in the embers it lay,
And half-cooked found he | the woman's heart;--
With child from the woman | Lopt soon was,
And thence among men | came the monsters all.”*
{{*Hyndluljóð (The Poem of Hyndla), Poetic Edda}}
Loki is famous for being a shapeshifter, and shifting through genders is one of his abilities for sure. In the myths he is usually described as male, and a very handsome one too, but there are a few exceptions. In Þrymskviða (“The Lay of Thrym”), Thor and Loki pretend to be Freyja and her handmaiden to get Mjölnir back from Jötunn king Thrym. Thor is in disguise and keeps his pronouns, but for Loki the text uses female pronouns when in disguise, which suggests a slightly deeper transformation on his (her) behalf. Another famous example you might be familiar with: in Gylfaginning (“The Beguiling of Gylfi”), Loki turns himself into a mare to lure the stallion Svaðilfœri away from his work. They run away together, and when Loki returns to Ásgarðr he is pregnant with Sleipnir, the eight-legged horse destined to become Óðinn’s steed. Speaking of Óðinn, it’s good ol’ Grímnir himself to reveal, in the Lokasenna, that Loki spent 8 years in a cave as a milkmaid tending cows, and there gave birth to a number of children while in female form. Curiously enough, Loki reminds Óðinn that he spent quite some time among men “in witch’s guise” as well. So you see, even the mighty Óðinn is not strictly male, according to such myths. What does it tell us? That these two are blood brothers for a reason, just for a start. Then, it gives us lots of food for thought.
Last but not least, the one that for me is among the most fascinating episodes in all of Norse mythology. In the above mentioned Hyndluljóð, Loki eats the heart of a woman and then gives birth to monstrous children. As the story goes, an evil woman (a “witch”) had been burnt (three times?) by the Æsir. Is she Gullveig? Is Gullveig Angrboða? Not the place to discuss this. What matters here is, her heart survived, half-burnt. Loki finds it and eats it - but why? Is it a metaphor of the crematory Fire? Maybe there is a deeper reason in the fact that the heart was considered the home of the principle of life and of the soul itself, so by eating the woman’s heart Loki was probably able to absorb her female magic and wisdom… So much so that he then gives birth to children, monstrous ones of course - much like their siblings born from him and Angrboða. Or maybe, just maybe, such monstrous children are a metaphor for magical powers and actions that were believed to be evil as the tales were being written down later in time? Who knows… who knows…
In my personal experience, Loki remains mainly male. I call him Faðir (father), and refer to him with male pronouns, but as you can see using female or neutral ones is not wrong at all.
I’m sorry there’s not enough space here to discuss these themes in a more elaborate ways, there would be plenty to say, but I hope I gave you some interesting hints to think about.

True. 🔥
A Lokean Epiphany
if you are a child of Loki there is no place in this world or any other that you should fear. no place you are truly alone.
lost at sea? drowning, in water or in pain? in tears? Jormungandr will coil around you as he does the Earth and hold you together. there is no end to Him or his protection
persecuted, shackled, hunted in the deep woods? Fenrir and His mother Angrboda will be your bright eyes in the dark, the fangs and claws that break your chains
alone in an empty place? caught between one world and the next? Slepnir will fly to you faster than thought, swifter than the dawn and more unstoppable as nightfall
lost within your own heart, or body? finding yourself changing into someone you don't recognize? dysphoric, traumatized, betrayed by those you trust? Vali and Narfi know this. they cry with you and dry your tears
watching those you love suffer and struggling to shield them? overwhelmed by a world of punishment, a system so much bigger than you? Remember that brave Sigyn's name means victory, and fierce love is stronger than any venom
on the edge of death itself? let sweet lady Hel welcome you into a merciful embrace - and She will not, if you have more to do before you come home.
and wherever you are, if you are a witch, an outcast, if you are silenced, if you are called a Monster, if your world burns, remember that we have a fiery All-Mother of our own. Hail Loki and Their family. Hail Us.
Love this. 🔥✨🖤
A prayer for Loki during times of change
I hail you Loki, lord of fire, seer of truths!
I praise you Loki, the one who does not falter!
I ask you to help me embrace the changes in the life that I have given to you.
I ask you to lend me the strength to be my true, authentic self in the face of those who wrongfully judge me.
For you are the only one who judges me rightfully for who I am and not for who I appear to be.
You see who I am, could be, and will be with your discerning eye and you guide me in the way you see fit.
I thank you for the hope and reassurance that change can be a good thing and that pain is something that we must endure and not give in to.
Just as you have taught us all to endure with a mocking smirk on our lips so shall I!
I thank you for these blessings!
Loki in Freyja's feathers🪶
Hello hello hello!
I truly love everything about this. Always nice to find more historical info about our beloved Trickster.
Loki illustration from 17th century Iceland
Huhu... Let's not look at where his hand is... and more at the inscription below...
Yeah. Sigyn is mentionned!!! :p
I don't know what it means though... Anyone has an idea?
Y'all, Thor is so great. If you need just a solid buddy, he's your guy. We just shot the shit for a while tonight, and it was just lovely. He really gives a shit about us, about humanity. (I mean, protecting us is kinda his Thing™️, after all.) Having spent a little more time with him, I see why he and Loki share so many stories with one another. Neither of them is dumb or weak, but their respective strength and cunning pair really nicely when you wanna get up to some shit. Even if your partner in crime has a slightly different agenda than your own. Add Odin into the mix and you've truly got a sitcom on your hands. Earlier this week I was talking with Thor and Loki together, and Odin just showed up like, "Who the fuck was gonna tell me y'all were hanging out?" What a kooky fucking bunch. I love these dorks. 10/10, would hang out again. ❤️
Hail my beloved Faðir 🔥
Hail to you Loki Revealer of Corruption, Speaker of Hard Truths May your presence drain the festering wound Remove the infection from flesh And grant it godly hue once again Sly One, Protector of Those Brave Enough to Speak Out May we speak with unfettered tongues And reveal the hard won truth We hold your torch in our hands
Loki, beloved Faðir
Volcanic Eruption l Iceland l May 2024 (x)
Since we have a LOT of folks who are getting the "Feed me sugar'' vibe from our Delightful God of Chaos And Mischief, I would like to share this recipe. It's from an out of print cookbook. I bake a double batch for us to share just because.
Ranger Cookies [Fancy]
1 cup shortening ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup brown sugar 2 cups quick oatmeal 2 eggs 2 cups Rice Krispies 2 cups flour 1 cup coconut - shredded or flaked 1 teaspoon baking soda
Cream shortening and sugars. Add eggs. Sift together dry ingredients and add. Stir in remaining ingredients and drop from teaspoon on baking sheet. Bake at 350F about 12 minutes. 3 dozen
(From The Art of Making Good Cookies Plain and Fancy. A.L. Ross & J.A. Disney, 1963 no ISBN)
My Personal Notes On Baking
Alternatives:
Unsalted butter in place of shortening
2 large eggs work better than 2 small eggs, Extra Large eggs use only one
1 ½ cups brown sugar, ½ cup Zulka Morena Sugar
Methods:
Chill dough slightly, then roll into small balls before baking
Roll dough into balls, then freeze for later baking. Allow to defrost in fridge, not on counter top
I think if the eggs were replaced with vegan substitute it could work. I am NOT vegan and I have zero clue if egg replacers are any good. Have not tried this with whole wheat flour, bread flour seems to be okay, but AP is best. I found the King Arthur AP flour was absolutely brilliant tho

Flame-hair, your soul burning into the night, Throwing caution to the wind And casting the die of fate, Teach me your fearlessness. Lie-smith, your sharp words like daggers, Cutting through illusions to the bone And revealing the reality we refuse to see, Teach me your clarity. Silver-tongue, whispering carefully veiled truths, Sowing shrouded mystery in your wake, And leading only the clever onward, Teach me your secrecy. And leading only the clever onward, Teach me your secrecy. Gift-Bringer, recognizing all the overlooked, Giving rightly earned reward where it’s due, And in turn, blame as well, Teach me your justice. Scar-lip, ending silence in the face of injustice, Grinning down at the outcasts And rallying your voice with theirs, Teach me your anger. Pain-holder, accepting your punishment, Embracing the consequences of your deeds, And taking the fall of those who are weaker, Teach me your resilience. World-breaker, harbinger of chaos, Spitting fire upon the stagnant And carving the spear of change, Teach me your courage. Cruel-striker, slanderer of the gods, Burning the inefficient and stale, Revealing potential in the ashes, Teach me your insight. Sly-walker, throwing your mischievous grin about And casting laughter into the darkness Where before there was only despair, Teach me your joy. Shape-changer, manipulator of all walks of life, Confidently adapting to every situation, Commanding the strength of any form, Teach me your cunning. Hearth-fire, warmth of my heart, Your arms a sanctuary where none is found Light and life of the home I can always return to, Teach me your nurturing. Sky-treader, ever true to your wild heart,Letting none even try to contain your spirit As free as the sky itself, Teach me your passion. Hail Loki, And thank you, my God, For everything you bring to my life.I love you so.

Loki is the Norse god of mischief, and the hard cold truth, even tho he may be cold, he is wise, and charming in many ways.
I use resources, I do not own the info, and most deep dives have UPG (that I use in my work.) And I only take some information from sources. I am 14, this is my hobby, I am learning but I spent many hours and days on this, and I am always open to criticism. I have been doing worship for 5 years. Please know you can use the info, I do not sue, but I will take action if this work is used without permission and not put as a resource if used in any work. without permisson and not put as a resource if used in any work, for the public.
Loki's daughter's name is Hel
So I guess you could say he's a
Hel raiser
So I got covid last week and was in a pretty bad way for the first few days. I kept consciously and unconsciously reaching out to Loki and I felt a cold nothingness in response. I began to fret and worry, thinking I had upset him somehow. A few days later when I was feeling better, I took my dog out for a walk. Before exiting my building, I saw a giant spider just chilling on the wall. It felt like Loki was saying "I'm still here dumbass"
