#norse Loki

One of my favorite kennings for Loki is "farmr Sigvinjar arma", which translates roughly to "the cargo of Sigyn's arms". Add a little Gustav Klimt to the equation, and you have an idea that's been plaguing me for months.

[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

[focksey]

Yeah💚

I finally got around to reading Lea Svendsen's book, Loki and Sigyn: Lessons on Chaos, Laughter, and Loyalty from the Norse Gods. While there were a few very minor things I disagreed with, it's something I think all Heathens and Loki-curious folks need to read. I wish there was a tad more on Sigyn, but there is just so much to say about Loki that it's not at all surpising that he dominates the text a little lol. It was such a good book.

But I didn't really come here to give a book review. I came here to share a few entries from the glossary. Because the way Lea describes a few things is just...😙🤌

The last sentence got me ���

Poor Thor, but not incorrect in my experience 🤣

This was just right on the money for me. He does naturally share more physical traits with Loki than the character does. 🤣 I am also of the belief that Loki had a hand in getting Tom cast. If someone is gonna play a character bearing his name (to the point where their visage is basically synonymous with his name), they gotta be handsome and charming and play the character sympathetically. Personally, I think Tom fits that bill lol

On a related note, I did appreciate Lea's lack of disdain for Marvel. It's not always accurate to the lore or who the deities are, sure, but it's bringing people (myself included) to the deities. I think they generally appreciate that, as long as folks are able to move beyond the Marvel material. And as I've said before, they sometimes find ways to work themselves into that material, whether the writers/creators believe in them or not.

Anyway, highly recommend this book!

THIS is how I imagine Loki in my head! Thank you to the artist Bella Bergolts for creating such a great painting! I really hate how everything is all MCU garbage now! So seeing this really made my day!

Last night I had a dream about Loki asking if I wanted to see how he sees himself and Sigyn. I said of course!

Loki produces the most stunning Tiger's Eye crystal I've ever seen, saying it represents his beautiful love. What does this fucker do next? Places the crystal onto an energy drink can and shows it to me with jazz hands announcing, "ta-da! me and Sigyn :D"

"How was Loki with Angrboða AND Sigyn?"

Old art. But I still stand by it...and use the second panel as a react all the time XD.

I feel the need to say something. Whether that's because someone might need to hear it, or I just need to get it written down, I don't know and likely never will. Be warned that this post might come across as a little vent-y despite that not being its purpose.

Moral of this post in case you don't want to read it all; the gods are patient. They are kind. Sometimes, in ways you don't expect.

Currently, I am overthinking something. Badly. I can feel it boiling over, and at first I tried to keep it hidden from Loki because I deemed it cringe or bad. Unlovable in some way. (even though I make a point to never label anyone else cringe, this label is often applied to me when I feel self deprecative.)

Eventually I just gave up, because I figured they'd already seen it, and I admit I vented about it. They sat with me and listened, and I could feel that he's just... Distraught. Horrified that I think this part of me is unworthy of existing. He hates that I won't let him help, either.

But the reason I say that the gods are patient is this; I have yet to do a reading about it. I don't allow much in the means of direct communication when I'm talking about it, because I "could just be imagining it" and no matter what stance they take it's either what I want to hear or what I'm afraid of. Both of which I could see myself imagining.

Loki WANTS to help. I can feel him getting antsy, kind of. I almost finally grabbed my cards to do a reading with him tonight, but I'm too tired right now and, admittedly, I'm procrastinating. This is something I am actively beating myself up about, and Loki could absolutely be cruel. They could be my worst fucking nightmare. I know they won't, logically, but emotions are not often logical.

And yet they wait. They're sitting with me right now, I can feel it- and they're going to give me all the time I need. They're a deity, they have all the time in the world. If this were a human friend, and I had vented about this but not been willing to listen to their opinions, I know damn well I would not be given the time I need to prepare myself for that conversation. But Loki isn't human. So they wait until I can pick up those cards and face the fear head-on.

I'm reminded of someone saying that Loki will push you to be far more than you ever knew you could be. I think that's true. But I also think that there's something to say about how patient they are, just... Letting us grow ourselves, walking alongside us while we're fucking terrified, and understanding that these things don't happen overnight.

Sometimes, the only thing that gives me genuine comfort and strength is knowing that in Loki's space, all parts of me are loved, even the parts I try to hide,,

"You're all quite complex; you feel so deeply for things that may eventually come to pass. You love so hard that there are no words to describe it. I admire the courage it takes to love with such an open heart, this is why I'll be right here, no matter the time or place, to love you as fearlessly as you do others." — loki

Solstice is almost here :> Been meaning to do a Loki solstice piece between doing Warhead pages and the only time I managed to find was before and after I was sick with the flu for a week.

These will be available as a small print on my Etsy, as soon as I get proofs back from the printer.

hand drawn- no a i used :>

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.
