Things I think Loki would say to me.

[changeinchaos]

please sound off if you follow Loki, Fenrir, Hela, or Jörmungandr! i'm primarily Kemetic polytheist/chaote but I've been getting closer with Loki and his kin lately :>

Shoots a CEO point blank in the middle of the street. Allegedly flirted with a hostel worker right before this. Writes "deny, defend, depose" on the bullets. Escapes on a bike. Leaves decoy Monopoly money for the cops. I'm telling you this man is just Loki

while i’m sure it’s certainly cool to be chosen by a deity for worship/devotion, i think there’s something beautiful about choosing them instead. having little to no signs from a deity, but seeing them and saying “yes. yes. yes. you are the one i want to devote myself to. work on myself for. be a part of your life as you are mine.” as a practitioner and then setting forth. i personally feel like we don’t have many options in life, so it’s nice to be the one to decide.

New artwork arrived with the mail today, I bought this as a postcard from Wolf The Red on Redbubble. There are also variations of this artwork with the trans pride and with the nonbinary pride colors, as well as a black and white one and there are lots of different products with this print available. While I really like Tom Hiddleston as the Marvel Loki (big fan of this actor, by the way) - for my spiritual practice I prefer Loki artworks which do not look like the Marvel Loki. If you are interested in this artwork or some other awesome artworks about Norse deities, here is the link to the Redbubble shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/WolfTheRed/explore

Neurodivergent Witches

I’m neurodivergent and use my craft as part of a way to cope with my mental illnesses, and seek comfort in my day to day life. If you are neurodivergent as well, look into these methods to use along side modern day methods and see if they help as well!

Note: Please do not rely solely on these methods. If you need therapy, medication, etc, please continue with them. I am merely suggesting additives that have worked for me and that I have heard worked for others.

“I suffer from.. Anxiety” •  I recommend looking into: Calming. Grounding. Peace. “I suffer from.. Depression” •  I recommend looking into: Banishing. Energizing. Manifestation. Peace. “I suffer from.. Dissociation“ •   I recommend looking into: Clarity. Grounding. “I suffer from.. Flashbacks/PTSD” •   I recommend looking into: Banishing. Calming. Clarity. “I suffer from.. Intrusive thoughts” •   I recommend looking into: Banishing. Calming. Clarity. Protection. “I suffer from.. Paranoia” •   I recommend looking into: Banishing. Calming. Clarity. Protection. “I suffer from.. Sensory Overload” •   I recommend looking into: Banishing. Calming. Protection.

50  witchy things to do in quarantine:

cleanse your house thoroughly

banish any unwanted energies

put some time into making solid wards

rearrange/cleanse your altar space and tools

take inventory of your supplies

make new batches of sun and moon waters (and any salts, tinctures, etc. you like to keep on hand)

start a dream journal now that you have the time

find a witchy article or book on somewhere like JSTOR and learn something new (and tell other witches about it)

try kitchen witchcraft if you haven’t already

create a new sigil or charm to display in your house

bless or add a glamor to an item in your home (ex. adding a glamour to a centerpiece so the food always looks good or to the welcome mat so people don’t notice the messes so much)

send a blessing to those who are helping (and donations, if you can)

or perhaps jinx, hex, curse, or bind those doing harm

set aside time each day to meditate– it’s the perfect time to start such a habit!

leave an offering to or commune with a spirit or deity you have not in a while due to time constraints

try a type of magic you are interested in, but struggle with

practice with your divination tools to get better at them

update your grimoire with things you’ve been meaning to write down

make a crystal grid of your own

make your own pendulum and board

make your own oracle deck

using the items you already have, make a new powder, oil, or tincture for an intent you have often

make a sigil and set it as your phone background

paint your phone case with a sigil, a symbol, or a color coordinated with your intention (use acrylic and then coat it in mod podge!)

create a new talisman

write a hymn or incantation

create a playlist to listen to during witchy things

buy a service from a local witch if you can afford to– many are in need of money right now, especially

draw, paint, or sculpt a deity you worship and add it to your altar

use notecards to write down and categorize things you have for each basic intention (ex. write down all of the herbs, crystals, etc. you have for love, for money, etc. so you never have to sit and think hard on what you can use– it’s a quick-reference for yourself)

write down your favorite spells or ones that you want to try

in your school or work space, add a sigil or charm for productivity, focus, or stress-relief

make a new sachet for sleep

contact a witch friend and facetime them to meditate together or do readings for each other. it’s important to stay in touch!

make shoebox, on-the-go, or pocket altars so when quarantine is over you’ll keep your practice up in daily life

write yourself affirmation cards or letters to open in a month/year/whenever you like

make your own runes

enchant a piece of clothing or jewelry for stress-relief or motivation

learn more about your own natal chart

transfer the info you look for in your grimoire most often to make a quick-reference book of the most important pages for yourself

learn about the plants and trees around your house and their properties

sit in your yard for a little while and enjoy nature and it’s sounds

open your curtains and blinds and windows to let in a little fresh air and sun into the house

start journaling– being in-tune with yourself will improve you as a witch

write letters or send care packages to witchy friends with things like bay leaves, sigils, and kind notes

on your next grocery run, grab some seeds or plants and plant whatever is in season where you are. try something that can grow in your windowsill, if you’re new! this is a way to have sustainable ingredients for your witchcraft that has no pesticides and is cultivated with your energy.

alternatively, get flower seeds and plant them around your home. this will also give you a reason to step outside to tend to them from time to time.

learn a new song or hymn and perform it as an offering to your deity of choice

make a list of this year’s dates of full and new moons, transits, and holidays and mark them in your calendar or put them in the notes of your phone

take the time to monitor your own energy and take care of yourself <3

i love how that one god’s name is pronounced ‘low-key’ when he is literally anything but

[changeinchaos]

Loki Laufeyjarson The Trickster, challenges the structure and order of the Gods which is necessary in bringing about needed change. God cursed, manipulator, traitor and sneaky, Loki makes nevertheless left the circle closed by the Gods of Asgard (undoubtedly, due to its resourcefulness in solving certain problems and achieving goals) There are also several sources, indirectly indicating the fiery nature of Loki. Loki’s origins and role in Norse mythology have been much debated. According to the Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the 13th century, Loki is the son of two giants, foster-brother of Odin and brother of Helblindi and Býleistr. (Worth noting, original Norse Loki and Marvel Loki are two absolutely different stories)

The Norns in Norse mythology (or Moirai - in Greek mythology) are female beings who rule the destiny of gods and men. They roughly correspond to other controllers of humans' destiny. Their names are Urd, Verdandi and Skuld. They dwell within the Well of Urd beneath Yggdrasil, the great ash tree that stands at the center of the universe and holds the Nine Worlds in its branches and roots. They shape destiny by carving runes into the trunk of the tree, or, in some sagas and poems, by weaving destiny like a web or tapestry.

In Norse mythology Hel (Goddess of the Underworld), Fenrir (wolf) and Jormungand (serpent) are children between Loki and the giantess Angrboda. Learn more about them here (And yes, there is no Sleipnir here, he was born another interesting way and as for me he doesn’t belong here. Learn more about him here)

In Norse mythology, Sigyn is a goddess of fidelity and is the wife of Loki. 🐍   Sigyn stays with Loki during his punishment, (He is bound by the guts of his own son, the only fetters that he cannot destroy and the venom of snake drips onto his face) she holds out a bowl to catch the dripping venom. However, when the bowl becomes full she leaves to pour out the venom. As a result, Loki is again described as shaking so violently that the planet shakes, and this process repeats until he breaks free, setting Ragnarök into motion
