Loki and family

This is my Loki sideblog | Lokean | Norse mythology | Eclectic pagan | The owner of this blog is adult.

Loki’s birth

Loki is the son of Laufey (the leafy one) and Farbauti (dangerous, sudden striker). This is my view on how it could have happened.

I’ve always sort of avoided drawing Loki in his myths, for various reasons, one of them being that my style is so different that I suppose I felt like it wouldn’t suit it. Also this particular myth really hurts (as a Lokean) but for some reason, I felt called to finally tackle it in my style. It’s my first Loki piece in quite a while (and I feel it turned into more of a Sigyn piece tbh) and I’m actually super proud of it.

I’ve long associated Loki with vultures.

They are probably the animal He sends me the most.

I can’t help but see Him in these unsung heroes of nature who clean up the mess we don’t dare to touch, who face death without fear, who accept and feed off of decay and endings to bring about new life and who are feared, hated and looked upon with revulsion because of it.

In the Norse myths Loki was always doing the other gods’ dirty work-the job too unpleasant or controversial for them to do themselves. Like the vultures He should have been valued for that but instead He was looked upon with revulsion and suspicion just like the vultures.

He also holds the burden of bringing about Ragnarök-the End of the Gods, accepting death as the gods never could.

So I made the association of vultures with Loki because of these things and He has sent me them most often ever since (the two other most common animals He sends me are crows and spiders).

Earlier today I visited a State Park in Maryland and picked out the card shown above for my Loki altar and thought I’d share it on here. I also started making a poem connecting Loki to vultures. I might continue it or scratch and start anew. He told me not to stress over it. I’ll write the poem inside of the card before I sit it on my altar. The bird they used on the picture of the card was a resident there, unable to be returned to the wild. He was a very talkative fellow. His name was Sulit.

Anyways I don’t know why I am sharing this. Just felt compelled to. I should probably go to bed. 😅

Hail to you Trickster, god of who does what needs to be done, who compels us to accept and not fear the death of the old to make way for something new. :)
