The problem with Loki Work

[randomtheidiot]

Something I really don't like about adaptations of Norse mythology is that even outside of Marvel's sphere of influence, Loki is consistently portrayed as physically weak/an unskilled fighter who lacks muscle and relies solely on trickery and ranged magical spells when in the original mythology, he:

Is a god

Is a jötunn

Is a viking god who hangs out with other vikings and does viking things like crusades and warfare

Has previously engaged in extreme acts of violence (mauling Fimafeng, bludgeoning an otter-dverg with a rock, ripping off a troll's leg twice in Loka Táttur without any mention of a weapon) and will continue to do so until the day he dies (the battle of Ragnarök)

Is fated to die in battle against Heimdall, who also dies, which implies that the two are equal in strength, or that at the very least, Loki knows his way around a battlefield

Causes earthquakes every time he writhes in pain

Rarely uses magic outside of shapeshifting and is very unlikely to Eldritch Blast his way out of a situation

recommending The Locked Tomb to people is so funny because like okay bear with me. the first book is like this cool adventure sci-fi fantasy story about these two extremely intense lesbians from Pluto who hate each other, right. reading this first book, if it works properly, will make you 100% obsessed with the intense and deep interpersonal dynamic between these two specific people in this specific location with this specific supporting cast. anyway the moment the first book in the series ends you're never seeing any of that shit again ever

I love that each book is completely unique, my favorite moments from gtn are so dramatically different from htn and ntn. Muir isn't repeating the same formula it's an entirely new and fucked up equation each time.

When you're so good at parkour that you're bad at it.

Loki is a jötunn and the jötunns is of a lower status then the Æsir so by that logic Loki has a lower status then most Æsir BUT Loki is also Odin's blood brother and Odin is of a higher status then most of the Æsir and by that logic Loki has a higher status then most of the Æsir

So which is it? Would the average Æsir be allowed to punch Loki in the face or not?

This is what i like to call Schrödinger's Loki

What it Means to be a Lokean: A Guide to Worshiping the Norse God Loki (my interpretation)

Loki is one of the most intriguing and mysterious gods in Norse mythology. His reputation as a trickster and his role in the events leading up to Ragnarok have made him a popular figure among those who are drawn to the darker aspects of mythology. For some, worshiping Loki is a way to connect with this powerful deity and explore the many facets of his personality.

So, what does it mean to be a Lokean?

Being a Lokean means that you have a personal connection with the Norse god Loki and seek to deepen that connection through worship and devotion. Lokeans view Loki as a complex figure with many layers, from the mischievous trickster to the loyal friend to the tragic figure who sacrifices himself to save the world.

For some Lokeans, worshiping Loki is about exploring the darker aspects of the human experience, such as chaos, deceit, and mischief. For others, it is about connecting with the god on a personal level and exploring his many facets, including his love and loyalty.

How does one worship Loki?

The worship of Loki is a highly individual and personal experience. Some Lokeans choose to make offerings to the god, such as candles, food, or drinks. Others prefer to write prayers or perform rituals in his honor. Some Lokeans even choose to wear symbols or talismans that represent the god.

It's important to remember that worshiping Loki is a personal journey and there is no right or wrong way to do it. It is up to each individual to explore their own connection with the god and find what works best for them.

What are the ethics of Lokeanism?

Lokeanism is a highly individualistic path, and as such, there is no set code of ethics. However, many Lokeans do follow a few guiding principles in their worship of the god.

One of the most important principles is respect for the god. This means approaching Loki with reverence and recognizing that he is a powerful being. Lokeans also believe in using their own judgment and making their own choices, rather than blindly following the rules of others.

Another important principle is self-expression. Lokeans believe in being true to themselves and exploring their own desires and passions, even if they are seen as unconventional or taboo.

Finally, many Lokeans believe in using their wit and cunning to navigate the world and achieve their goals. This is in line with Loki's reputation as a trickster and is seen as a way to connect with the god.

In conclusion, being a Lokean is about exploring your personal connection with the Norse god Loki and seeking to deepen that connection through worship and devotion. Whether you are drawn to the god's mischievous nature or his loyalty and love, there is a place for you in the Lokean community. All are welcome and loved 🫶

Keep your 🔥 lit ♥️

Isn't it actually so beautiful that deities take the time to try and guide and teach us? How wonderful is it that they care for us so deeply that they'd share their wisdom, knowledge, and insight so freely? I think a deity's love is something to be cherished, and I cherish this. 🧡✨

Original Artist Commentary:

"I always loved the myth portrayal of lightning(Fárbauti) hitting a tree (Laufey) and thus creating Loki.Like…

BOOOOOM! …Loki"

Honey Cakes Summer Solstice Recipe by Moody Moons

You Will Need:

-1 honeycomb cake mold

-cookie sheet

-3 cups all-purpose flour

-3/4 tablespoon baking powder

-1/2 teaspoon baking soda

-3/4 cups sugar

-1 teaspoon salt

-1/4 cup honey

-2 sticks butter (softened)

-4 eggs

-1 cup  milk

-1 tablespoon vanilla extract

-oil or cooking spray to grease mold

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Lower if your oven runs hot.  Grease your silicone honeycomb cake mold.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in one bowl.  Set aside.

Step 3

Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time.  Add honey.  Beat in vanilla.

Step 4

Slowly add flour mixture, alternating with the milk.  Beat until just smooth.

Step 5

Place cake mold on cookie sheet for support during baking.   Pour batter into greased cake mold and put in preheated oven.

Step 6

Watch it!  Honey caramelizes a lot faster than sugar.  Bake until you can plunge a fork into the cake and it comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow to cool for at least 1.5 hours before removing.  Remove carefully from mold by placing another cookie sheet on the “cake side” of the mold and then flipping both cookies over.  Gently pull off the mold and see how you did!!
