❤️‍🔥 A new piece for Loki’s altar ❤️‍🔥

Wood-burned by hand, guided by fire and his energy.

The serpent coils around Loki’s name in elder futhark.

Each moment, creating it, was a message, a spark, a part of my path.

Fire.

Change.

Movement.

Loki’s presence flows through the lines – unpredictable yet clear.

A piece of magic, captured in wood.

What is born in fire stays alive in transformation.

my current mini altar

[I'm a college student so all of my altar materials are currently in a storage unit :(( ]

Updated Loki's altar today, some of the stuff we previously put on it was knocked off by our cat cookie. When she used to stay in our room the altar was her favorite place to sit.(Though I'd try to make sure she didn't, I'd wake up and she'd be sitting there.) It's a very random mix of things, and I worry that Loki doesn't like it. Some of the stuff like the enderman fell off from a shelf above and on to the altar and landed upright so I just kept it there. Most of it is what I felt Loki would like? But I'm worried it's just me putting things i like on it.

Haven't had the energy recently to put towards working with Loki. Though today I got frustrated with myself about that and fixed up the altar best i could and added a few offerings. though I get what I'm pretty sure is signs from them a lot, so I dont think I've made him mad about the offerings or not having the energy/not knowing what to do regarding working with him. I'm still very new to this though so I don't know.

A glimpse of Loki’s altar I had made. Rabbit hide and name card (was originally on incense) both from Oreamnos Oddities 🦊🐍

My altar cause I never posted it ! It’s a bit crazy but Loki is on the left, Odin is right in the center and Vidar is on the right! I’m still adding of course. My gf’s altar to Baldur and Thor is above it on the top shelf! (Because gf is taller than me…) (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

Who has put a Calcifer (Howl's moving castle) plush on Loki's altar?

Spoiler: he loves it.
