No, you don't! 🙂👍👍

Yup!

@Absentia Ah yes you see: but what MOST critics don't seem to see, is that story is an old exemplar of the idea encapsulated in the modern song, "Everything you can do, I can do better!" And that everything has its counterpart in Utgarda-Loki's Hall. And that the gods can't beat it, not even Thor. 🙂

@DarthBorehd Loki is Hearth fire; Logi, Wildfire. 🙂

@xRosiesandPosiesx Lokatáttur! That overlooked Faroese Ballad! 🙂👍

@Læknirinn Yeah? (Read the book by a Lokean I recommended: did I recommend it to you? Playing With Fire, by Dagulf Loptson.) There are lots of "fire references" involving Loki. The story of his birth; the fact that his face was carved on a bellows stone; analogies to gods from Hindu mythology and the like. The fact (which yes, Wagner used) that towards the end of Lokasenna he says he'll burn the gods' halls down, etc etc. Plenty of fire there: and not just hearth fire.

@thedragonwarrior5861 Yeah: sounds like Daffy- or Donald Duck! 😄

@Henry Toftegaard That's the Norse trinity... (The most common form of it.)

@Absentia How was UL a "known entity", seeing as he lived at the end of the world, and no god had actually met him? 😏

@29holden 😄😄 Oh I love it!!

Well. Snorri DID label Loki as "Father Of Lies", which was a term never used before in that mythology: and Snorri as an educated Christian would have known PRECISELY which Christian ideas that "mapped to"; so I think your absolving Snorri of "Satanizing" Loki is basically incorrect. 😏 But I agree that the Eddaic Loki (including Snorri's) doesn't share that many "Satanic" attributes. He doesn't act against Odin; most of the time he is "Odin's man", just as it says in Sörlatáttur. 🙂 He is too USEFUL, too contributory of assets, to be a negative Satan! (Though there are plenty of more contemporary Scandinavian folk sayings attributing every useless weed to him! 😄) He does not tempt humankind; into Hel or anywhere else. He doesn't PLOT the Ragnarök against Odin. (Unless you count having the "monster children".😏 But isn't a god allowed a mistress & two sets of children? Most of the others, eg Thor, did likewise. Only they couldn't bear nor father monsters for they were not possessed of Chaos power! 🙂) But the Ragnarök was prophesied so.. Personally I think that Odin should have laid off the psychic hotlines. 😏

I like your exposition of Odin. 🙂😏

@impish_snake3526 Ah!! But his true followers, namely us Lokeans, do!! Though UPG, you see, does he reveal himself to us! ☺️

@shanedoesyoutube8001 Actually, that's what, let me see, Freya Aswinn said?? The wolf devouring Odin symbolising the Church of Rome? 🙂 (That city's founder being suckled by a wolf I'm legend?)

Grima the Fell Dragon It is his right! He has been abused and misunderstood.

@xxn1ghtm4rep01s0nxx Why aren't Shinto (or Hinduism) Pagan? Polytheism is paganism. 😏

@Méxican Astolfo Ha! Ha! Ha! You've obviously never read a book by a real Lokean, or Loki-sympathiser Try Playing With Fire, by Dagulf Loptson. Avaliable cheaply as an ebook on Google Play.

@irishspartanstudios He still has plenty of power! 🙂

Nice cartoons!! 🙂 "Loki as Scapegoat"?? Yes. (Though in Snorri Sturloson's version, I think it's Baldur he wants to make into the Christ figure. 😏) But - Scapegoat being as a Christian idea? I think all societies have someone they like to blame.

@aisnota5192 Is he really? What story is that in, then? Or are you referring to repetitive plot-writing?? 😏
1
And he is. ¬ just because of the "hearth" or "forge" references. Read a book by a REAL Lokean, namely Playing With Fire, by Dagulf Loptson, and become enlightened.🙂 Know also that he's a much older god than some people think: and he DOES exist outside Scandinavia, because there are old German forms of his name. Try googling "Nordendorf fibula". 🙂

There are spells involving various herbs, to transform yourself into a werewolf, dating back to Ancient Greece. I know, I'm a neopagan, and I've read a few! Some are even in books by Scott Cunningham. 😏 Glad you mentioned the ancient Olympic athlete who was reputed to be a werewolf, though!! 🙂👍
