Apparently I never posted this Loki piece on here and that is a C R I M E😭 I am so sorry pls forgive me lol

Anyway here’s Loki with Freyja’s falcon cloak

[cherry-pop-elf]

Burdens of being a Lokean

Vent post ignore me bleh

And a reach out to fellow Norse Pagans for advice

Ugh. It’s hard to practice being Pagan sometimes. Especially of the Norse variety. And most definitely especially as Lokean. Any means to get materials to practice is full of marvel content. So saturated it makes it near impossible to find what I need

Don’t get me started on how unserious people like us who practice things like Norse Paganism are treated. People treat those who practice Greek paganism more serious than us. Don’t lie, you’ve seen it

And the people who only consume marvel Norse content that try and correct you on your own religion

I just wanted to practice my beliefs in peace. I want to be able to get materials from reliable sources that have their best interest in me. Not AI money grabs. Not people selling “love spells” or just bullshit people who want easy money by taking advantage of people’s beliefs

Is there any advice on how to get reliable sellers and resources for my craft? I want to practice my belief but there’s just so little I can do. I’m a Hoosier and well. Indiana is famous for the KKK after all

Any reliable sellers? People? Just. People who take being a Lokean serious? And don’t call us devil worshippers? And just insult Mother Loki every chance they get?

I’ll never forget that time I was at a cosplay convention and the topic of religion brought up and I was told to “never trust Loki. Protect yourself. He is a liar and promises you pain and suffering-“ and just went on a rant about how wrong I was

I chose Loki because he chose me dammit!

Everyone follows their own path in life. From you believing in a god to people who don’t at all. You are deserving to practice what you feel. It’s YOUR laugh. YOUR path. Everyone has a path

Just please. Help? I want to make a proper alter and practice my beliefs

I get chaos comes with the job, but sir the winds turn eventually 😭

Sincerely yours, a baby witch that’s suffering

10 little subtle ways and things you could be doing that are witchy!

(esp if you're still in the broom closet) ❤️🦊

1. virtual and online altars

pinterest boards dedicated to your gods/goddesses; quotes and aesthetics.

tumblr dedication blogs.

social media page with your witchy alias.

discord server, a private place to organise channels and create categories for what you want, i.e., spellwork, candle magick, crystal associations, etc.

music playlists, for both manifesting and connecting with your deities, they love coming through music.

2. journal/book altars

similar to the idea of a book of shadows, this will be personal writings and thoughts for specific deities.

you can customise it and decorate it much like a physical altar! i.e., stickers, washi tapes, markers, sparkles.

custom spreads for whomever you work with, you can put prayers you've written for them, words you want to convey, and express.

3. the wooden box altar, also known as a travelling altar

a place to put all your trinkets and necessities.

if you're unable to have a physical space, having one that's portable will help you take your altar wherever you go.

you can carve/paint the box to be more personal for you, or to be ultra discreet about it you can just customise the inner part so it doesn't stick out to people you don't want knowing yet.

4. origami shapes

for manifesting, write out what you would like and fold it into a star to carry out the manifestation.

use the idea of symbolism to embed your intentions, for luck, a four leaf clover. for allowing new opportunities to find you and let go, a butterfly, to succeed in something you could make a bird; "soaring to new heights."

you could also use this time to connect with your deities, just being with them in the moment.

5. financial abundance

if you can't blow cinnamon on the first day of the new month, put a dash of it in your morning coffee or tea first thing.

use of coins in the soil of your plants welcomes in prosperity.

likewise with coins, frogs are symbolic of wealth.

a bay leaf where you keep your wallet/purse, the exchange of the money you give out you will receive back with a little extra.

6. kitchen magick/green witchery

add spices/herbs to help achieve something you want i.e.,

pancakes with vanilla and honey to bring in loving and warm energy.

adding pepper/salt/basil/rosemary to encourage protection.

for clarity and insight, chamomile tea.

to have peaceful and calm resolve, lemonade with fresh mint leaves.

7. clothing and jewellery

wearing items of clothing or jewellery in honour of your deities, i.e.

rings, bracelets, and necklaces that symbolise something of them for you.

shirts with quotes you feel resemble them; colour associations work plenty.

if you crochet or make your own items of clothing, knot magick or sewing in a symbol that means something for you can help you feel confident when wearing it.

8. self-care can be devotional

doing things that make you happy whilst doing it in honour of your deities allows them to be present in your simple joys.

writing, poetry, reading; feeling called to read something because it holds a message for you.

indulging a show or something you watched in your childhood years, deities take pleasure in watching something that means alot to you and will be grateful to share that moment.

treats and specific cravings, i.e., little upg, but loki loves sweet pastries.

taking a walk about in nature gives your deities more room to show you the beauty of the world. take them to your favourite bench, to your favourite coffee shop.

knot magick, if you crochet, make something in honour of your gods/goddesses. they will ensure it brings you comfort when you hold it.

painting your nails, you can charge your nail polish beneath the moon or mix in a little moon water to be energised and intuitively connected.

9. cleansing and clearing of old energy

water

will help the bad flow out and let the good flow in.

showers/baths are good for self-cleansing.

holding a glass of water before drinking it and wish your intentions.

crying, allowing yourself to feel what it is you're trying to process in order for it to be released. can't release something you haven't finished going through yet.

moon water, I recommend this during a new moon as that's more symbolic to starting anew, planting seeds and encouragement toward growth.

sun water, can help with energising you and bringing in positive energy, also a confidence boost.

earth

holding onto a crystal for a few moments, just breathing in and out.

crystals can be used for cleansing, smoky quartz, clear quartz. there is a crystal for all your needs.

plants! plants are great for protection and for taking in bad energy. they will listen to what you have to say, and will love you as much as you love them.

food, especially grown from the earth can help you feel refreshed and buzzing with energy.

fire

burning, writing out your hardships, struggles, anger and burning them (safely please).

lighting a candle while you work on something, very therapeutic, and you can visualise the bad energy being burnt out and released.

incense, the smoke is a natural cleanser and will do wonders. you aren't restricted to using sage to cleanse; others you could use are myrrh, sandalwood, lavender, or cedar. it's completely up to what your preferences are.

air

breathing in and out during meditation, as you take in some air and release it, upon release visualise what you're letting go of.

bells, the frequency of dinging bells helps to disperse bad energy.

sound cleansing through soft music, and intentional frequencies. you'll find alot of these up on youtube.

10. divination methods (aside from tarot/pendulums that i know of)

clouds, observing what you see and the shapes you recognise, what you need to know will be reflected in nature.

ceromancy, candle wax, burning a candle after asking for some clarity or an answer and having the wax form a shape for you to interpret.

numerology, angel numbers, and the significance of the numbers.

automatic writing, done in your personal journal, it's unconscious writing that can help channel messages you may need.

bibliomancy, randomly selecting a passage or words from a book.

capnomancy, the use of smoke from candles or incense, and reading the shapes and forms casted by the smoke

conchomancy, divination through seashells, shapes, and the type of shell.

casting a set of charms on a cloth and divinating the meaning of where they landed.

[lokeanlady94]

Nine Lokean Virtues:

1. Truth: Be real. Be true to yourself and allow others follow their own truth.

2. Humor: Learn to find the humor in things, especially yourself.

3. Humility: If you need to tie your balls to a goat to accomplish your goals, suck it up buttercup.

4. Cunning: Try to think outside the box. Don't make a mess so big that you can't figure your way out of it.

5. Transformation: Don't be afraid of change, because that's how we grow. Don't be afraid of self-examination and listen to constructive criticism.

6. Creativity: Create awesome stuff. Try new things out. If you don't like it, blow it up and try again.

7. Accountability: You are the only one in charge of your own destiny, your own life, and your own actions.

8. Empathy: Try to see things from more than one perspective. Shape-shift into someone else's shoes before you pass judgement.

9. Experimentation: A mistake is only a mistake if you do it twice. Until then, everything is an experiment.

so like does anyone else understands Baldur's death as in Loki gifted a husband to his daughter? because he's like,,, hella happy about me understanding it like this

[natthehorsewitch]

So my very artistic sister is helping me create a filming corner. I wanted to wait until I reached 100 subscribers on youtube but she was like NO, MANIFEST THAT SHIT. And fuck if she isn't turning my own advice back on me... so she is coming at the end of the month and we are creating the corner. I have STUFF to fill the corner behind me, but I am curating a few items and theres this one lady in the UK that makes these beautiful felted witches. The Woolly Witch (if you follow her) She only posts 2-4 witches per day and they sell out in like 2-3 MINUTES tops. And she’s in the UK so she posts when I’m sleeping usually. Today, I snagged one! I need to give her a name but isn’t she STUNNING?!

[when-november-ends]

it's okay if you have to re-read the myths or re-watch videos explaining them regularly because you forget what happens in them.

it's not something to be ashamed of.

[freyasfatale]

Funny how most TIM “Norse pagans” align themselves with Loki, either as a child of Loki or just a worshipper…you know…the god of chaos and mischief?

Loki isn’t trans or genderfluid, quit writing fanfiction about him to cope. The ancient Norse wrote about him in that regard to make fun of him. He changed into a female or animal out of manipulation. Which really says something, hmm.

My abusive ex is a Lokison, which I fully believe, because he’s evil and manipulative. He’s lied about being raped when he got outed for sleeping with a minor, he lies about being bisexual for female attention (“im kinda gay so im not like other guys), he uses people for money or shelter, is a chronic incel and a misogynist because of it…which is like, if you’re bi, why are you so focused on women? He once posted a TikTok that the reason he’s had a history of abusive behavior towards women is because of the “male witch wound” — aka, epigenetic trauma from men having to watch women being killed for witchcraft in the past. Want to know the abuse he did to me? For example, he forced me to get pregnant to prove his fertility, then to have an unsafe abortion. That’s just ONE example, and this creature continued to stalk and harass me and mine for years after.

Anyways, I digress. If you’re a Lokean, child or worshipper, I do not trust you. That is weird.

[arlequinelunaire]

Did a solo black and white drawing of Urth since I realised she was the only Norn I hadn't done one for. Though I added a splash of red since that always stands out nicely in monochrome pictures. I tried to capture her looking more severe compared to my past drawings of her.

I lengthened her hat after being inspired by The Alchemist in Holy Mountain. Those webs or 'threads of fate' above her were inspired by, for something completely different, the 'spaghetti webbing' Todd McFarlane brought to Spiderman.

Also added some old Norse touches, like the belt hanging down and the rows of beads. The runes at the bottom are meant to read 'Yggdrasil'

[c-vs-paganism]

As a pagan thats been practicing in secret since I was 14 and now openly in college, the most important practices to me and my journey arent fancy bottles, they aren't tons of herbs for spells or making holiday feasts that'll run you $20 and up. They're going outside and just experiencing nature, journaling what my tarot cards are telling me and introspection on little everything, finding pdfs of the Eddas, going to my campus dining hall with my friends and dedicating that meal and time to my deities. Paganism is far too commercialized and sensationalized imo, it doesn't have to be complicated: work with what your given, and once you've done that, build on it.

[artfulendeavors]

I just finished this gorgeous deity commission with Loki and I am obsessed! I need to do more fun god portraits

All gods are welcome, it doesn’t *have* to be Loki lol. I try to make these as special as I can as they mean so much to much. I think it is such a honor to be trusted to express the devotion and love of someone in this way

[lady-0f-the-wood]

[dancingwithfoxes]

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
