In mythology Loki is associated with knots and nets. There is a myth in which he invents the fishing net (and the gods immediately use it to chatch him, of course).

Does this mean that wearing fishnet stockings is a devotional act?

Things I think Loki would say to me.

[screechingtrashpanda]

Hail to you Loki Revealer of Corruption, Speaker of Hard Truths May your presence drain the festering wound Remove the infection from flesh And grant it godly hue once again Sly One, Protector of Those Brave Enough to Speak Out May we speak with unfettered tongues And reveal the hard won truth We hold your torch in our hands

[mushynation]

Loki won't hate you if you make mistakes. He has too. He's a good example to look at when remembering your actions have consequences. You can do whatever you want but you have to be ready to deal with the outcome.

Loki will be there when you feel outcast and alone and friendless. In those dark stormy days in your head he will be that candle that burns bright and it will never go out.

Don't have a good family? Me neither! But you know who is a Great dad/brother/uncle etc? Loki! Also the other gods. A whole new family that will fight for you and not abandon you.

He's not mad at you either btw. Communication is key and if you have worries just ask. He's not here to harm you or make you feel like hell. He's warm and silly but serious and stern if he has to be.

Somebody wrong you? Tell good ole carrot top. He may or may not make sure nobody finds their body. 😁👍

Anyway. I've been through a lot with him and I can promise he's definitely a good guy and worth having around. Even if he's made me wanna twist his nips a few times.

I can't stop giggling.

I found this on pinterest and immediately the image of Freyja chasing Loki cuz he stole her cloak came to mind😂

Loki, in my head, UNREPENTANTLY, every time someone calls themself a "hard polytheist":

Wood burning is a passion of mine. Of course, I dedicate a lot of my projects to Loki and this one here is one of my favorite so far. Its a small wooden box, I am currently working on. Sure, its not perfect and i have still a lot to learn. But i love how it turned out so far 🥰

[lokilysolbitch]

can't stop imagining loki keeping every offering he gets and him just like having a divine fridge with a million drawings on it stuck on by magnets. he pulls out his astral key ring and it's 99% little handmade crafts from everyone with one (1) skeleton key in the middle. he reaches over to his nightstand to grab a pencil but he has to move his hand through little clay crafts and crystals and figurines. his pockets are filled with plastic wrappers from all the candy everyone gives him. he has a photo album on his c-phone (cosmic phone) to save all the memes everyone shows him. hes got stacks and stacks of devotional rings and necklaces and kandi bracelets from all of us. he's thinking of us as much as we think of him

Makes me think of Loki

The Value of Worshipping Loki, Fenrir, Hel, or Any Other "Evil" or "Scary" Deity

If you've spent any time in Heathen spaces, I'm sure you've seen people who claim that Loki and their offspring are evil and / or not worthy of worship. While I can understand this line of thinking st the surface level, I don't think it takes certain factors into account

1) Downfalls Of Mythic Literalism

Taking the myths as true stories is, in my opinion, unhelpful in worshipping the gods. These stories have been written down by humans after they were passed down orally. There's always going to be human bias in these telling and retellings because humans aren't perfect.

Claiming that Loki is evil is saying that humans know the gods and can decide if they are "good" or "evil."

The myths and stories are just that: stories. They aren't the end all be all of who the gods are.

2) "Good" vs. "Evil" Is Unhelpful

The concept that Loki is evil and the other gods are good is such a black and white way of looking at Norse Mythology. A vast majority of humans are neither purely good nor purely evil, so why should the gods be subject to this sort of ridicule?

In reality, things are always gray, there isn't much that's black and white.

3) Chaos Is A Part Of Life

The gods often reflect the realities of life, and let's be honest, life is messy and chaotic. Embracing chaos can be helpful in getting through rough patches.

Loki is a god of chaos; chaos is a part of life. Therefore, some may find benefit in working with or worshipping them.

4) It's Literally None Of Your Business

If everything I have said previously does not inspire you to leave Loki devotees or devotees of "evil" deities alone, please realize that other peoples' practices aren't your concern. They aren't hurting anyone. They aren't hurting you.

I think all of us need to remember that everyone is fighting their own battle. Picking a fight with someone over who they worship or work with is not kind, and you're unlikely to change anyone's mind.

Even in this post, I'm not trying to convince you to worship Loki or his children. All I'm trying to do is remind people that kindness goes a long way.

I hope you found this post informative or helpful in some way. If you have any questions or comments, send them my way!!

Loki tried to protect his kids for as long as he could and I've been thinking of this for a while now. What gets me about the hateful people is that they choose to not pay any attention to how he's been accused of everything and punished and hated on for everything and had all his kids taken from him and also punished and had to see two of them tear each other apart.

Imagine how the wives feel seeing their kids treated this way as well. Imagine how they feel seeing and knowing Loki was tied up and tortured with snake venom. We all know who he is. He's chaotic and wild and warm and sweet and mushy and emotional and loving and that love is all consuming. He has all this duality. he's also gonna defend you and protect you with all he has and work his ass off to help you get where you need to be.

When people only see him and his family as evil I am truly completely confused at who the fuck they are talking about. Also he doesn't even give af about what they say about him so they are shit talking for nothing lmao.

today, i want to thank loki.

i want to thank them for reminding me to stay true to myself, for even when the easiest way is to conform to the norm, i must keep my ideals firm.

i want to appreciate them for, in their chaotic messiness, teaching me valuable lessons about life and showing me a much more laughter-filled view, where my issues can and will have a way around them.

i want to be grateful for all the much needed guidance through tarot (even though throwing half the deck at me might not help sometimes, it definitely makes me chuckle and turns the reading less heavy) and the patience they've had with me, since i'm still in the very beginning of my journey: mistakes are obviously made.

loki, i hope you can continue to bring this energy into my life. you're very much respected, adored and cherished and i want to remain connected with you.

God of Stories is very fitting, but I think God of Queers is more suitable.
