@Siofra_Strega Well, I learned a lot of information from my partner, but also from my family, but when I was doing more in detail to find out more information from him, these are the few websites that Iāve gone to.
But I am still learning more and more about him every day.
Thatās amazing to hear! I know a few people that work with him and have said similar things ā thank you for sharing! I also still learn new things about the deities I work with itās amazing how much information is actually out there! Though I donāt follow a Norse path, Iām sure itās all very similar when it comes to studies lol
Thank you for the links, too. I went ahead and added them to the main post!
Yes! I just started working with him. and as I was reading this thread, he decided to make an appearance of course. I was getting on the bus and the driver took off without me and my partner belted in. No joke, 4 of the 6 belts we tried while Mr. speed racer just kept on a goinā were broken. As I was having a wrestling match with all the seatbelts, my phone flies out of my hand and gets lodged between the seat and the wall. Lmao. It was stressful and threw me off for a bit, but thatās the point. The more this stuff happens, the quicker I can recompose myself. This is not linear of course. Some pranks are less appreciated than others, but Iām interested to see where this chaotic path goes. The way my life is right now, one would think Iād want to avoid chaos, but if Iāve learned anything on this planet and in this life is that life is assuredly going to be chaotic. I started feeling his energy when I adopted the affirmation āI embrace change in all forms.ā He certainly plays tricks, but what Iām starting to notice is that they will usually look our feel really bad but are manageable to an extent. Iāve been appreciating the little reminders to get out of the maze of loops that is my noggin. I do get frustrated sometimes, but after everything, I notice a clear lesson from the situation. Iāve been dealing with a ton of novel problems in my life that at times feel completely insurmountable, but the best and strongest lesson Iāve learned from this chaos is that life is always flowing and changing direction. Itās not the end of things if I allow parts of this journey to carry me where they will.
My life is chaotic already and I just wrote about that in my shadow work journal entry with this class I attended this week and have finally got started on my shadow work. I donāt need anymore,LOL. Sounds like a fun filled trip. I like how you mention lifew is always flowing and changing, I would agree with you on that.
@kara16 Hello, Iām just browsing through these threads, (as usual Iām late joining in ) but thought Iād mention these books I found on Loki (you probably have already seen them), but I found them very positive and show him and Sigyn in a different light to whatās normally said about him. Thought you may enjoy them. Hereās the screenshots.
@kara16 Hereās hoping, if we ask Loki to send them another developer, he may help them to get it up and running quicker. We can catch up here though. Hail Loki. Have a lovely weekend sweetheart.
@christina16 Loki is very informal. Iāve never used set words when inviting him in. He loves candles, so I would light a candle to him, and give an offering. The offering doesnāt have to be anything fancy, I give him sweets, coffee, chocolate and if you want to, alcohol but heās very welcoming. He is the god of chaos so it will be chaos energy that will be in your spell, Iām assuming if youāre inviting him into the spell thatās what you want? But heās a wonderful deity to work with, and a simple thankyou at the end is enough.
Proper etiquette will definitely depend on how you view the Gods. In general, most pagans who work with deities give offerings and have a general sense of respect for the deity in question. @tracyS works very closely with Loki so sheās a perfect person to get advice from!
If youāre looking for something more formal and structured I did find a general prayer in the book A Pagan Book of Prayer that could be adapted for any deity.
I sit still, that my motion may not hide your presence.
I do not speak, that my words may not hide your voice.
I will still my thoughts, that my thinking might not block your arrival.
There is a note for this that says you can add a line or two at the beginning to specify who youāre calling to. That would be helpful to call specifically to Loki for your rituals.
Popping in to the thread to welcome you! Merry meet @christina16 !
Iām Kat and I practice eclectic green magick and am interested in tarot, runes, ogham, herbalism, and moon magic. While I donāt work with Loki we surely do have some members who do and can help you out!
Weāre glad to have you here. Make yourself comfortable, explore, and feel free to ask questions!
Thereās alot in there on Loki. Not everything written about him is favourable (he does have a bit of a bad rep, deservedly so sometimes ), but if youāre interested, have a read, ask me anything. I love him and have found him to be very different from his stories.
