Other Information

*Bragi is thought to have been conceived from Odin’s encounter with Gunnlod in order to drink the sacred Mead of Poetry

Bragi may have had the runes carved into his tongue

He is one of the few gods to be known for diplomacy, he is not a warrior.

🕯️would love to hear Celeron's thoughts on Bragi, removed from all the bullying nonsense lol

He has confidence issues, but in the same vein of false bravado and not being confident in himself. But, he has so much potential that it makes me glad to see him when he’s just himself. And not have to worry about others perception of himself. If he managed to learn to ignore what others think about him, at least in the negative light. A lot of his problems would be solved and he’d be much happier.

Hey, do you know any blogs or any information about Idunn and Bragi? I know this has nothing to do with Loki but I really want to worship Them and finding people who do that too >.<

This list has a few devotees on it, and would hopefully be a good starting point in terms of finding others.

In terms of attestations in the lore and academic scholarship on them, their Wikipedia entries are actually pretty well cited from (mostly) respectable sources, and are therefore not a bad place to begin digging. Our reading list also has some useful general Heathenry stuff if you’re brand new.

trying to find some bragi's folk on here is like trying to find veggie burgers at mcdonalds

Warning! Bragi talk ahead!

So I have always seen that Bragi would be the patron of Busking.

Busking is, as defined by our Lord and Savior Google, to play music or otherwise perform for voluntary donations in the street or in subways.

I can always see him going on the streets with his Lyre and just play for the hell of i, and for the occasional tip to get a drink at the local pub or tavern.
