Dancing with the sly one

A little side blog dedicated to Loki of mythology. (I adore Marvel's version too, but that's not for this blog!) Some art may be NSFW, some writing may be mature in content. What can be found here: my writing, art reblogs, articles of interest. Loki's Magpie (corvicula1979.tumblr.com) and Loki's haiku (lokishaiku.tumblr.com) are also mine.

Loki, punished for his lie

[amorphoussystem-deactivated2024]

Hail to You in heaven,

Companion of the Thunderer,

Flashing in the folds of

Grey storm clouds,                      

Lighting up the gale night sky,

Traversing the space between

Heaven and earth.

Hail to You in the earth,

World-breaker, Whose writhings

Cause the continents to collide

And the ground to tremble;

Whose escape will see

The world burn about You.

Hail to You in the home,

Heater of the hearth,

Comforter from the cold,

Protecting those children

Under Your care

From forces that wish them harm.

Hail to You in the city,

At the corners against the walls

Where those without shelter huddle;

In the places where bricks are flung

And flags raised

Against cruel worlds.

Hail to You in the mind,

In the flashes of mad inspiration

And destructo-creative urge;

In retorts against our oppressors,

In slicing remarks and cutting words,

And in those that bring joy and laughter.

Hail to You in the body,

In the burning of the heart

And the fire in the veins;

In the quick feet and nimble fingers

And fast tongues

And seductive grins.

Hail to You near and far,

Seen and unseen,

Day and night,

In light and in darkness.

Hail to Loki, and may Your complexities

Never run dry.

Queer God

Son of Laufey and daughter of Fárbauti,

Mother of Sleipnir and father of Hel,

Bringer of Gifts and Breaker of Worlds,

Ás and jötunn.

Not black and white; never one or the other;

Always fluid, changing; always in-between;

Both and neither; insider and outsider;

Friend and foe; husband and wife.

Hail to You, Queer God.

Hail to He Who will not be kept in place.

Hail to She Who crosses all boundaries.

Hail to They Who defies all binaries.

Idk I wrote this up just now. I love You, asshole.

[doodbog]

Norse goddesses!

[northern-seidmadr]

OMMMMGGGGGG

[godswalkwithher]

Remember that Gods of the Norse pinup calendar?

This… Yeah. This complements perfectly.

[evil-bisexual]

Modern Norse Myths

Skadi on the hunt in Canada. Her wolves howling; prowling for the missing Aboriginal girls and those who dare hurt them.

Jormungand slithering at the deep bottom of the ocean floor. Befriending the unknown that lurks in the darkness.

Sleipnir galloping at the race track; a star. Mother Loki showering him victory bouquets. Sleipnir giving up the track to show up at all the kids’ houses who wished for a pony.

Wolves howling, not at the moon or sun, but at their siblings chasing the bright orbs

Freyja planting new flowers in her garden for the slain and forgotten. Expansive meadows grow in honor of fallen during the Holocaust, the forgotten girls in Nigeria, those slaughtered by a faulty police force, and tragedies we will never know.

Warriors and activists drinking mead in the halls of Valhalla. Pouring some on the ground for those still fighting the good fight.

Níðhöggr  devouring rapists and abusers.

Thor, the protector of trans girls. The gift of thunder and lightning through their veins, giving them the strength. Brings the ladies to have self-care days with Freyja and Heimdall.

Hel complaining about her space becoming too crowded and expands her dwelling. Deceased actors and playwrights put on theatre productions; music artists play instruments and sing in the courtyards; painters creating beautiful murals. Death is filled with the living.

Ragnarock coming. Bringing new life from its ashes. Bringing needed change in this malnourished world.

(Reblog and add more ^^) 

[sleepyowlet]

Njörd hangs out with surfer dudes and teaches them new sick moves, when he isn’t busy supporting the activists trying to conserve our oceans.

Loki is working his subtle ways, inspiring those trying to bring others around to a new way of thinking, silvering the tongues of those who aim to create a society where nobody has to live in fear, giving strength to those who are different. Proudly marching at Pride events, proudly loving his strange children, proudly standing for the right to love where one’s heart leads.

Hel is teaching again, teaching young women all they need to know, like she has in the past, as it is half remembered by those who know the story of Mother Hulda.

Thor is teaching too; he teaches young men the strength that lies in being gentle, that honour lies in creating and protecting, not in tearing down and destroying.

Odin is walking the earth, listening to the wisdom of other cultures, learning their languages. His ravens zip through the internet, connecting people, spreading news that need to be heard by all.

And the Norns sit in at the roots of the tree that is all, Urd is whispering knowledge of the forgotten past to those who will listen, of Black vikings, of women proudly sailing with their men. Verdandi is breathing deeply, so many new things, so many beautiful moments to live in, reminding us not to forget to enjoy the present as we look into the future.

And under her veil Skuld is smiling.

[falconcloaked]

Loki standing for the queer, neuroatypical, disabled, mentally ill, abused, all the outsider kids our so called society wants to erase and destroy. Loki standing next to us and making us feel strong, proud of what we are, never invisible again. 

Thor being there victims of injustice and abuse and mockery, filling them with anger and strength. Thor cheering them as they stand up against the ones who try to break them.  Thor encouraging his followers during physical activities, supporting them when they have huge difficulties. 

Angrboda being a teacher of young modern witches, not only with the old magic and knowledge but with the new ones too. Angrboda using technology and the newest forms of communication to teach them. 

Sigyn protecting children and women, both cis women and trans women, from patriarchal violence. Sigyn caring for all of them, embracing them with her mighty arms until the end of the world.

@shadowfire1223 did you see this yet?

[sceithailm]

You may kiss the bride by SceithAilm Then bound they on Thor | the bridal veil, And next the mighty | Brisings’ necklace. Keys around him | let they rattle, And down to his knees | hung woman’s dress; With gems full broad | upon his breast, And a pretty cap | to crown his head.Then Loki spake, | the son of Laufey: “As thy maid-servant thither | I go with thee; We two shall haste | to the giants’ home.”

[lokahundr]

A smile that hides daggers, a tongue that cuts gems;

Eyes that pierce armor, a heart of pure flame.

Your presence disquiets gods, yet in your company I’m most content.

World Breaker, the anchor of my world.

[capillaryspice]

Loki.

(personally I prefer the black and white)

[fiendish-arts]

Another Myth!Loki sketch: Remember that one time when #Loki stole #Brisingamen and turned into a seal to (try to) escape #Heimdall ?

I’ve been trying to figure out a design for Loki!seal for a while. I think this is one step closer. :)

A Devotional Prayer to Loki

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.

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.
