Welcome to Loki's Shrine

trickster's flame

Loki13

 

Welcome to the shrine of Loki, the Trickster, the Magician, the Breaker of Worlds, the Sky-Treader, the Flame-Haired one. Welcome to the place of the consort of Angrboda, the husband of Sigyn, the father of Hela and Fenrir and Jormundgand and Narvi and Vali, and probably some others as well. Welcome to the altar of Change and Chaos, of the Irrepressible, of the fire that burns and the blood that rushes to your face, the breath you inhale to laugh, especially when you laugh at yourself. Welcome to the temple where you can never be sure exactly what's going to happen next ... for this uncertainty, and this flexibility, is indeed Loki's greatest gift.

Are you ready to dance?

Trickster, My Beloved is a collection of twenty-seven poems written by Elizabeth Vongvisith, a dedicated Loki's-woman. It portrays some common and uncommon aspects of his character, his relationships to other deities, and how a relationship with this most misunderstood Norse god may be as deeply fulfilling and meaningful as it may sometimes be nerve-wracking.

Playing With Fire: An Exploration of Loki Laufeyjarson by by Dagulf Loptson. "Everyone knows the Norse god Loki, or at least they think they do: He is the god of mischief, the trickster, the troublemaker of Asgard. To some, he is a destructive force to be defeated or restrained. To others, he is an amusing prankster, a friend, and an ally. Love him or hate him, he's impossible to ignore. But is there more to Loki, or have we only scratched the surface? Playing With Fire is part historical exploration, part heartfelt devotional, written from the perspective of a devotee who has walked with this often misunderstood deity for over two decades. Go deeper with Loki and be surprised. Go all the way, and be transformed." (288 pages, 6"x9") You can buy Playing With Fire from Asphodel Press.
