Some here may be interested in my novel, Loki's Saga: A Novel of the Norse Gods, available here. On a more personal level, I have had very positive experiences with Loki. It is nice to see that this community is still active. Best wishes and a joyous autumn to you all.

"Loke in younger tradition" by Axel Olrik

An interesting article about Loki in Scandinavian folklore.

I was sitting out in the backgarden the other evening, just at twilight, enjoying the peace and quiet, all while watching the bats flying too and fro. I got the impression that I wasn't really alone when the thought that Loki and Jord were standing at either shoulder. It was nice to know that both of them were there.

Hi everyone,
I'm not used to write about myself, and post it, OMG no! I'm Lokean only by heart, not by practice.
I'm bit reluctant describe myself, give it a time, please, but I have a story to tell, something what happened this week.
I've admired Loki for long, but without much thought about it. Recently, this year, I had some happenings which made me realize how much I like him. I welcomed him in my home. The month of May become a little turbulent.
I felt like this years ago when the wave took me, flipped me over, and after I got up I had bloody sand brushed forehead and my bra around my ankles. It was on public beach .....
I have to point my stupidity is endless, and especially in love. That said, recently I asked Him a simple question in the sense 'are you real and is it you'. I got positive answer.
Week later when I thought Loki was not around I begun to seriously miss him. I wanted some sign again.
Tuesday evening my daughter had a ceremony in school, the Induction to National Honor Societies. There was a lighting of candles for each branch of the society.
I got bored with the ceremony and begun to think about Loki. Seeing the candles I asked in my mind: If you can hear me, please give me a sing.
There were about 10 candles on the table, I was thinking He may make them flicker or something. I imagined even the table on fire, or that someone will trip on the way to table.
Nothing happened, nothing at all. I was sad, and cursing myself for asking the question.
And then all 60 girls were told to grab a small candle under their chairs (I had no clue they were there) light them up and hold while saying something like 'this candle lightens my path and represents my future'.
My daughter was only single one who found no candle under her chair, totally embarrassed. I'm bad mother, I almost laugh loud, so happy!
After ceremony there was coffee and cake. I told to my daughter,(she is little chubby): Loki took your candle, but now you can have as much cake you like!

Honouring Loki

darkamber — Thu, 22 May 2014 08:11:18 GMT

We are all different, and have different types of relationship with Loki, so it would be interesting to see both similarities and differences.

So, how do you people worship or honour Loki?
Do you have an altar or a shrine to Him?
Do you give Him any offerings, and how often?
Do you do any devotional work for Him?

Hi!

lokeanfianna — Fri, 16 May 2014 19:30:03 GMT

So awesome to find a group that won't look at me like I'm batshite crazy for worshipping Loki

wave Hello!

aryunk — Sun, 11 May 2014 06:49:59 GMT

First I'd like to say it's wonderful to find a community that loves Him!

So hello!

I have worshiped Loki for a very long time, and often times, I feel as if I have worshiped Him forever. I have kept it very close to my heart because I remember, quite vividly, another heathen being... rude... about an experience I chose to share with her and it devastated me that people could treat Him so badly. Oh sure, I have been faced with His storm-like ferocious temper and have been the recipient of some very harsh lessons... but His gentle and all-encompassing love I find is worth any hateful words from others or the harsh lessons He can give me. It's been within this past year though that I have been poked and prodded to step outside of my comfort zone of seclusion. You all know who's done the poking and prodding, I'm sure.

So I'm pleased to 'meet' you all! ~ Cat

Novel Writing

clairecasey1 — Thu, 01 May 2014 20:22:11 GMT

Okay, Darkamber already knows about this and has kindly shown an interest, but I thought that I would float this past you all to see what you all though. I'm currently writing a triology that involves the Aesir coming to Earth in the present day. Loki is involved and, I would say, the main hero. I have been having interesting discussions with my best friend, especially as she has been helping me proof read what I've done and she thinks that I may be making Loki "too nice".

A poem for Loki

darkamber — Sat, 26 Apr 2014 08:10:41 GMT

You are my sun

Like a flower to the sun
I turn towards You
And open my self up to You

My heart and my soul
Bask in the warmth and love
Of Your Presence

You are my sun
And I will always
Turn towards You

So... um... hi?

minstrel_fae — Thu, 10 Apr 2014 08:17:29 GMT

This is all a bit sudden. Over the space of a weekend I've gone from 'maybe I should research the Norse Gods and their worship a bit' to 'what else can I put on Loki's altar'.

I mean, I know I'm a bit impulsive, but this is just rather unexpected! I've never had concrete signs from a god before- and I was so paranoid that I was making it up that I did four different readings with two sets of oracle cards just to check it was who I thought it was. Funnily enough, the last one was the most impulsive yet most decisive- I randomly decided to draw out a single card as I was putting them away- it was the Fire Prince. I couldn't stop laughing for a good minute!

Just wondering if this is a common occurence- for Loki to become so important so instantly.

Experiances of Loki

clairecasey1 — Mon, 07 Apr 2014 22:49:16 GMT

I have to admit that I am pretty new to all of this, with accepting the fact that I'm a Lokean for just over a year now. I have a couple of experiances since the end of last year that I have been curious about. The first one happened when I had to be away for work. I was hundreds of miles away from friends and family and feeling particularly lonely. After I had gotten into my B&B, I decided to go to the nearby pub with a good book. I bought a pint and sat next to the open fire. It wasn't until I was heading back to the B&B that I realised that I wasn't feeling lonely anymore and I was starting to feel better. At the start of this year, I had a dream that I was at a table top sale and I was surrounded by fundamentalist Christians. There was one guy who was sitting in amongst them, who looked like a normal guy, and he was trying to wind them all up. From what I can remember, he was succeeding. I didn't realise who he was until he turned around. When he did, he looked right at me and there was this cheeky, up-to-mischief look in his eyes. It was then that I realised that it was Loki. I would like for him to visit me again, but I wouldn't want to force him to do so, as I know that he is a free spirit and comes and goes as he pleases.

problematic horsing part two.

aki_the_wingly — Sat, 14 Dec 2013 09:04:23 GMT

In reference to my latest post, I have had trouble with a person claimed to be horsed by Loki. There have been many red flags in regards to this.

And right now, me and those I consider family are helping me to uncover this and get her to own it. We are gathering the necessary evidence to bring it out into the open.

However, I have one problem...

Does anyone have any idea's of how Loki would feel about someone pretending to be horsed by Him? Would Loki advocate this sort of trickery, being the trickster himself? Would he advocate Lying to manipulate someone? I am not saying He is like this, I just gotta make sure because I do have anxiety, and most who know me know I do not know where I stand with him. I would like to think he would not advocate something like this, but I can't be sure because sometimes evil is necessary in the universe. I have felt at times that he does not like me, though I am devoted to him.

Would what this person's doing be considered doing his work, or is this considered wrong in his eyes?

I know other gods have issues with this sort of thing.

I *personally* don't think Loki is pure evil, and I personally don't think he would like a person using his name to manipulate. That's my own personal opinion and belief, however, I am NOT Loki, and when I think I know Loki, he surprises me with something new. Others may not share my view point as well. Like the person that is choosing to use his name for her benefit probably feels she is doing Loki's work.

With your experiences with Loki, what do you know of this sort of thing?

Horsing

aki_the_wingly — Fri, 22 Nov 2013 04:35:17 GMT

This is going to seem weird with my asking this, but I was wondering, is there anyone on here who knows about Horsing, or whom has been horsed before?

If so, What is it like and how does it work?

No I am not looking to be horsed myself, but I have reasons why I wish to know.

If anyone wishes to private message me, feel free. It's hard to explain why I am asking this, but any insight to this helps. Thank you.

A poem for Loki

darkamber_pagan — Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:37:48 GMT

How long did You wait
Out there in the cold
While the embers died out
And the century grew old

I’ve shut the night out
The curtains are drawn
I curl up and wait for
The birth of the dawn

So patient, so still
You waited out there
But I just fell deeper
Gave in to despair

Enter my world now
Of shadows and tears
Share with me Your fire
Burn the grief and fears

Tear off me these chains
-I’ve built my life on lies
Embrace me in Your arms
My Love with emerald eyes

Loki's funny way of "talking" to me

sybilla_89 — Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:10:04 GMT

Might be stupid but here it goes...
I was going to light Loki a candle...Orange with tropical aroma (he liked it when I bought it) - strangely none of my perfectly functioning lighters worked... I got that "Loki feeling" so I went to the cabinet and brought him green candles. Guess what? The lighter all the sudden had an huge flame. ROFL

How do you sense Loki's presence?

sybilla_89 — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 12:34:02 GMT

Could you guys describe how do you know Loki's there?

I tend to feel excited like a kid in Christmas with this feel of joy in me...I might start feeling the room is warmer also. He speaks in my mind...if the toughts aren't very logical or don't sound like "me" I know it's Loki.
These things seem to happen mostly when my candles are going crazy. My altar is in a place with no windows and thick walls so when the flames swirl it ain't the wind! Yesterday I sat looking at the moving flames and it was bliss! He came to me.
Also he likes me to dance to him...and I feel ridiculous (poor coordination) but I sense it makes him happy....OML (Oh my Loki!)

I'm not doing an intro post as i hate them, but i do have a question- most of the Loki communities I've found here are dead, where is the action happening?

Holding the Bowl

tekalynn — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 23:19:52 GMT

I held the bowl for the first time today.

I had a fairly light metal bowl (is this cheating?), but it holds a good five fluid ounces. I held it in the kitchen, next to the sink. If anyone came in, I decided to tell them that I was doing a mindfulness exercise, which was true enough.

I put on my kerchief, filled the bowl, said a quick prayer, and set the egg timer for fifteen minutes. I figured it would be a very long, dull, rather painful fifteen minutes, which was the point. I spilled a little almost immediately when I picked up the bowl and turned away from the sink (Sorry! Sorry!), then got into position and braced myself, literally and metaphorically.

There were few sounds except the dryer running and the ticking of the second hand on the clock. I closed my eyes. Every tick was the slow, inexorable drip of venom into the bowl I held. All other outside sounds faded away as I closed my eyes and pictured the dank cave, the snake, the dripping poison, the suffering God, the enduring Goddess.

The dryer buzzed, but my time wasn't up. I longed to glance over at the egg timer and see how much time had elapsed, but if I moved, the snake would burn the God. Fifteen minutes out of eternity isn't very long, but when you dispassionately watch the water trembling in the bowl, shaking with muscle shivers you don't even know you're making, nothing but you and the bowl and the inexorable ticking...it's long enough. And too long. And not long enough.

My arm muscles began to burn. I could shift the bowl up or down, but not side to side or change my posture more than a fraction. The water shivered. Tick. Tick. Tick.

When the timer went off, I jumped, spilling more water (Sorry! Sorry!). It actually felt a bit shorter than I had anticipated, but still a long time.

I emptied the bowl in the sink, and murmured "Hail Loki. Hail Sigyn. I do this for You."

Five Times...

It doesn’t happen very often when villains cry, but Loki is upping the count in Thor and The Avengers and he’s doing a marvelous job! So I made a picspam :)

Loki, Remover of Road Blocks

tekalynn — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 01:12:41 GMT

July is the month in which Loki is being especially honored online, so this would seem to be an ideal time to open up and learn more. I don't have a devotional relationship to Flamehair per se, but I do believe He and his Family deserve respect and honor. Today, for the first time, and after considerable thought, I hailed Loki.

I took a nap this afternoon, and dreamed I was reading a long devotional prayer to Loki. When I woke up, the line in my head was "Loki, Remover of Road Blocks" (obstacles in general, I'd think). This makes me think of Exu in Candomblé, another powerful, fiery, ambivalent male Power. One of Exu's many epithets is "Opener of Roads, Remover of Obstacles". I'm not suggesting equivalence, but it does make me wonder.

This would be a UPG, rather than lore-based question, but is this a side of Loki that people often see? I suspect that it is.

As I was Googling around just now, a spider dropped down by the computer. I see you, Webspinner! You're watching me, aren't you?

or_so_i_think — Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:48:18 GMT

acceptance is what he feels, with each kiss, each sigh, her body moves with his, not against him, with him.
this night he is himself, in this bedroom, alone with her.
the skin of his back is pale, the color of his eyes, blue in the moonlight; the moonlight which drifts through the windows, drifts in with the warm night breeze. the air caresses the bed’s white curtains, as sheer as the blouse on her breast.
his strong hands are soft against her, sliding slowly down her sides, gently stroking her breasts, his eyes are not sharp ice, nor blue flames, but like the air- warm, his gaze slowly caressing her body.
all of that you-will-kneel-before-me-all-of-you-are-beneath-me-i-am-a-god shit is a mask.
a mask he has forged with his envy and desperation.
the true loki, the loki behind the mask, the soul behind his dismal eyes, loves.
he is trapped in his brother’s shadow, but in the night shadows reign.
his entire life he has fought to be worthy, but with her he knows that, for once, just being himself is enough.
with her he sets down his mask on that bedside table and lets someone finally see him, bare, without the layers of armor, of falsity, the layers of the man he believes he must be in order to have power… because when he is in bed he knows that for once it does not have to be about power.
everyone seems to love the bedroom, to see it as a place to rule your woman, to take her, control her… but to loki that frame of mind conflates intimacy with impersonality. it is with the masses that he must desire control, only with his lover can he desire acceptance.
his hands move gently, but firmly, across her skin, down her arms, her soft skin, meeting her hands with a firm, reassuring grip. he pushes her hands into the mattress and slides them out and up, the only sounds: her erratic breath and her flesh moving against the sheets. his eyes never leave hers.
he stops moving for a moment, his hands holding hers above her head. then his lips are at her neck, tasting her skin with his tongue, lightly teasing her with his teeth until she moans quietly, deeply.
her hands grip his tightly, her nails beginning to dig into the back of his hands. in response to her moan his hips press hard against hers, he grinds his body down on hers once, their bodies for a moment pressing against one another, but in the next his body slides down and she feels his hands leave hers, sliding down to her hips.
his lips do not leave her flesh as he moves down. he lingers for a moment over her breasts, his breath hot against her skin. he kisses the skin between her breasts softly and then he continues to kiss down her body…
his thumbs press into her hips as he kisses the skin just below her belly button. his hands slide down, then up, then down the insides of her thighs, their path growing longer and higher with each pass. she relaxes and opens her legs for him. he smiles faintly and quickly moves to press his palm to her cheek, her skin flushing beneath his touch. suddenly he kisses her, parting her mouth with his tongue, exploring. the kiss continues as he slides his hand under her panties, the tips of his fingers parting her just as his tongue parts her mouth.
his fingertips stroke her cheek and slide down her throat while the fingers of his other hand gently slide into her pussy, making her breath hitch. he slides his tongue in and out of her mouth twice, then repeats the action with his fingers, sliding them both deeper the second time.
her free hands move to his neck, her fingers twisting in his soft, dark hair.
slowly he slides off her clothing, and she his own.
exposed, together, they move.

Pure pandemonium

alupire — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:57:49 GMT

I thought I could throw you guys a bone of sorts... I had a truly frightening experience a few weeks ago and am so unsure what to make of it. If it sound crazy to you, trust me when I say it sounds worse to me...

Anyway...

A while ago, I was pondering to myself the prophecy about Loki and Ragnarök and, well, possible outcomes. Regardless of who your fulltrui is, the outcome it not good - so I started pondering the meaning of words. It's said that it's Loki and Fenris breaking loose that will more or less start it all, so I thought, "what if they don't break loose but are let loose"? Long story short, I tried making a polite request to Odin about it all, and then sort of, well, didn't forget it but didn't think anything would happen.

Some nights later, me and the Spouse were sittingin front of the television, and goes dark outside. Very dark, and windy. I'm not sure why, but it unsettled me. I felt more and more nervous, and started having a feeling that someone was very displeased with me. After much debating, I went out into the garden. It looked like it was about to thunder; the sky was blue-black and all the trees bent in the wind. Just as I was thinking to myself that it was probably just me being antsy as I'm actually scared of thunder, a huge, white cloud becomes visible over the roof of our house. It looks like a face.

I have time to think that it's my over-active imagination doing it, when a small, dark cloud sails right up and places itself over one of the face's "eyes". Yup, eyepatch. My knees start to give a little at this point.

The feeling that I need to explain my request in further detail gets stronger, and in the end I give up and try gathering my thoughts; I have a feeling I'm being asked if I fail to see just how monumental my request is and if I know what it is I'm asking, and I try to reason - yes, I know, but I see no point to the conflict escalating, I want no one to die, and can't we seriously just forgive each other? Everyone has done everyone wrong, and, as a Lokean, I naturally don't want him to suffer anymore. I'm terrified enough that the inside of my eyes are whitening, and I feel certain that I'll be hit by lightning any second.

I have no idea how long this goes on for; probably not very long as the Spouse would have come looking otherwise - but in the end, I can finally see the sky between the clouds again and have a feeling I "can" go inside, so I do. My limbs are very heavy, and I spend a good deal of that evening crying on Spouse's shoulder, not sure why.

When I wake up the next morning I get two very clear images in my head: First, a snake on a branch turning into stone. Second, the image of Loki landing very hard on sandy ground, very much worse for wear but, well, not bound or anything.

Seriously, what... happened there? Naturally, people around me suggest that I might actually... have freed the man. Others jokingly say that if it snows at summer solstice, they'll come after me with torches and pitchforks - but to be quite frank, I don't think I'm significant enough to do either. I'm just... me. Of course, this could all be some world-of-imagination-thing, and perhaps I have done something significant in my universe, but that thought barely bares thinking about. Or I could need medication. ;)

But... any thoughts? I'm royally confused here.
