written as a thematic successor to this Dionysian prayer by Underflow of Dreamwidth, guided mostly by vibes and personal goals rather than sticking to the exact theming and goal of the original prayer; posted for lack of anything better to do with a typed-up version. color-coding should be obvious but if you're not sure what it's for... well, guess, that's half the point.

Odin, wise one, concealer, maddener, who knows many secrets best left alone Loki, sly one, lie-smith, tester of the mind, who weaves trickery three feet deep Blood-brothers, swift talkers, decievers who can choose to reveal that which is disguised Odin, twice-blind, flaming-eyed, Loki, knot-tyer, thought-tryer, I call to you now, who arrive like the hawk and the raven Odin, old one, advantage counsel, who can see the truth guide me to truth as well - awaken me to myself Odin, wanderer, show me the path that I should walk Loki, tangler, tree of deceit, clever-tongue with stitched lips, Unwind for me the lies in my mind - unknot secrets from their roosts Loki, spider, show me what threads rattle and what lies still Grant me revelation, that which lies behind the illusion Grant me direction, point my feet through darkness Grant me clear sight, past deception and lies, Blind One, guide my eyes Send me cleverness, with which to uncover and discover And let me borrow fortune, luck, victory, and the strength to see and do Loki, mischief-maker, give me sly words; and Odin, wise one, remind me when not to speak Weather-maker, earth-shaker, father of songs, hearth-warmer and bright fire, Send me discovery, give me uncovery, show me to the truth and how to see it; guide me over dangerous paces and the obscurations of night And show me into interesting times.
