Not related, but is this some sort of vision or am I hallucinating?

Idk who to ask this to. It’s (perhaps?) not Loki-related, but y’all are my spiritual base. I trust you guys. I have for the past, perhaps two hours, had really intense visions/hallucinations/something. I wasn’t asleep or anything, just trying to do my schoolwork and then I sort of just, felt like I was transported to a new reality.

So I was in this green field. In front of me there was a medieval castle and behind me there was a village. There was a storm forming in the sky, and I could feel the heaviness in the air and smell the moisture. The villagers were very angry, and they were fighting some knights on horses, even though the knights had armour and the villagers did not. I could hear the shouts and screams of people killing each other and metal hitting metal, metal hitting flesh. Though I’ve never heard these sounds before. The knights were guarding the castle, and we were trying to get into the castle so that we could kill the greedy and power-hungry king. I was fighting with the peasants, though I didn’t feel like I was myself. I felt like I was just, like, a villager and I had been a villager all along. And the way I felt my emotions was just, very different from the way I feel my emotions normally. Idk how to explain it, it’s like I was in someone else’s head and thinking all their thoughts and feeling all their feelings and sensing all their sensations rather than being in my own life. There was a witch fighting beside me, and they were very beautiful, with haunted yet determined eyes. They were killing knights, and using their magic to protect people. They weren’t quite a girl and weren’t quite a boy, they had elements of both.

I didn’t feel like I was watching a movie or something. This felt like it was reality. I completely forgot about my own life, my normal life, and started feeling as if I’ve always lived in this strange medieval world. My actual physical surroundings completely faded away and I was completely immersed in this different reality. I felt fear, hatred, love, faith, determination, pain, conviction. I had memories of what happened before this fight. The villagers were fed up of living in poverty under the heel of the king. The witch had spied on the king’s army to give us an advantage. The queen had been forced to marry the king under threat and was on our side, and she also gave information to the witch that the witch shared with us villagers. The villagers wanted to install the witch as the new monarch but the witch wanted to get rid of the monarchy system altogether. I had no memories of my actual “real-world” life during this experience. It’s like, the memories, and almost everything about my real identity, was kept out of reach of me.

Even now, now that I’m back in the so-called real world, thinking back on this whole experience it feels more like a memory of something that actually happened and less like a memory of something I imagined. Looking back on it, I realize that I felt my emotions and thought my thoughts in a way that I don’t normally do, and it felt like I was experiencing someone else’s headspace and identity. But I was experiencing it in a way that made it feel really undoubtedly real and immediately present, rather than being removed from it at all. When it was happening, all sensation of my actual physical surroundings that my physical body was in vanished and I was completely immersed in the battle.

Anyways, yeah. Either I’m hallucinating or something weird happened. It literally is possible that I’m hallucinating because I’ve been eating like one meal a day for the past week. Any … advice or whatever? I’m definitely going to talk to my psychiatrist about this in our next meeting. But like, idk if this is just a hallucination or if it’s something more. Nothing like this has ever happened before and I have eaten less for longer periods of time. Usually if I’m seeing something spiritual, I can tell that it’s something spiritual and present in an incorporeal way and not physically present like the physical things around me are. But like, this time, like I said, I genuinely felt like I had gotten transported to a different world. I don’t think I’m schizophrenic or anything, but idk maybe I’m just starving.

Loki running from the dwarves

I was going to put this on his altar but then I ripped the top of it when I was trying to pull it out of the sketchbook (oops). But I figured I’d post it here because I still like it except for the pants

Loki perfume ritual oil

I hope this is okay. I wanted to share my perfume ritual oil coming soon to my shop made specifically for Loki.

I've worked with him on and off for about 2 years and thought I could help create this as an offering for him.

If you feel drawn to it, please feel free to support my small pagan business!

Signs of Loki?

Hello all, I’m sure you get this question a lot, so I apologise for sounding redundant.

I would like other’s advice, as devotees, if Loki is reaching out to me. I am not entirely new to Paganism, and have done minimal work within the Greek pantheon, so imagine my surprise when suddenly approached by a Norse deity.

First it started as getting videos on my FYP, just a few, but enough I did a brief read of some of his stories, and then forgot all about it. It was very quiet for a while so I really thought nothing of it, until last month. A goal I was working towards for a year fell through, but it ended up being for the better, and opening a lot of new doors for me. I ended up being happier.

Then, I had a dream where I spoke to someone with long red hair and horns (I am weary to say this was Loki, because I’ve never had a dream of a deity of any kind before, and I’m not even sure what Loki looks like), we had a conversation that I’ve forgotten, but remember asking for signs. And boy have I gotten them. I’ve had dreams of spiders almost every night, and last night I had a dream of a cabin in the woods, covered in webs, with a small Black Widow (my favourite spider) sitting in the middle of a web in front of the door. I picked her up and let her crawl on my arm, she did end up biting me on my elbow, but I remember vividly apologising to her, since I jerked and must’ve scared her.

On top of all of that I’ve been seeing 3 everywhere, whether it’s repeating numbers or three of three same objects sitting together (like three stray cats sitting on a ledge and staring at me). After brief research I saw it may be a sacred number to them?

I did a tarot reading last night and drew: Judgement, Five of Pentacles, Page of Pentacles and Two of Wands.

All input is appreciated. Thank all of you lovely people in advance!

Hello

Hello everyone. I have a fairly new Norse Pagan and I’ve worked very little with the gods (namely Thor, a small experience with Odin which is what drew me to Norse paganism, and a very small passing experience to Freja.) I’ve done a bit of research getting started but I haven’t looked too much into Loki besides what the stories in the Eddas say. I’ve gathered the preconception that Loki is a very chaotic god that likes to meddle in the lives of people and gods alike to do no other than cause mayhem and unrest. I never understood how anyone could or would want to work with him. However I discovered this Sub tonight and after just reading a few of the posts I see that you all have a very different view of him. It makes him seem caring and inviting while also being hard on you when he needs to. Kinda like a big brother trying to push us to do something. After seeing this I would like to get to know him better. Would anyone mind offering some advice about how you started getting to truly know him? Maybe sharing some stories or memories you have had. Anything is greatly appreciated. I look forward to speaking with some of you 😊

I want to start working with Loki again

Hi all!

So I need to offer a little context for this question to make sense! When I was younger (early teens) and just dabbling in witchcraft I took Loki on as my patron but for the time I did worship them I had some of the worst luck of my life. I’m not sure wether I had improperly contacted them, if it wasn’t them, if they didn’t want to work with me, or perhaps they were simply showing me tough love so to speak so I could be shown I wasn’t ready.

As someone in their early twenties now I’m in probably the best place I’ve been in, I am genuinely considering that perhaps it’s time for me to not only begin practicing my craft again but also taking Loki on as a patron (if they are amenible to that).

All this backstory is so I can ask if it’s okay to be scared when venturing back into this? I don’t want to insult them but perhaps the apprehension is something they would appreciate?

And if I do begin worshipping them again am I able to simply devote myself to them, should I include their children, the rest of the pantheon?

Would Loki perhaps find it insulting to protect myself initially or in general from their (in my past experience) overwhelming power?

And how does one interpret their stories? Is it acceptable to interpret them in a way that isn’t written?

Should I treat it as the past or the future? I imagine this might be from person to person though.

In addition as far as I’m aware my lineage rests firmly in Celtic regions so would Loki feel any upset?

I like being in prepared on top of careful so any information is appreciated.

is it really Loki?

so! ive recently started trying to work with Loki after like 6 years? and i finally made him an altar and started with the offerings and everything was pretty good until this morning that i have him morning offerings that something felt Odd. like i could feel it in my body? and hours later i asked my tarot deck to show me some cards representing Loki and i got The Empress, Queen of Cups and Queen of Spades which didnt feel Quite Right, but then i got the tenth of pentacles and for what i know thats like the opposite of The Fool (which represents Loki). could it be that hes playing a trick on me (that wouldnt be unusual since i wanted to ask him something today using my tarot deck and he reversed the questions to me)

I had my first Loki dream in a long time.

[Using the “Question” flair because I’d like help figuring out what this means.]

I’ve been wondering why it is that I hadn’t gotten a visit in a while. I guess Loki must have heard me because he decided to pay me a visit last night.

It was so odd. I was walking with someone I knew from school/in childhood to an abandoned school. It was familiar to me in the dream but I’d never seen it before. It looked so colorful and nostalgic. The person I was walking with wandered off with a third person and I was alone in a big grass yard. When I turned to leave, he was sitting on a bench on the back porch of the building like he was waiting for me. When we walked toward each other, he walked me away from the school that—when I looked back—looked decrepit and broken down. We didn’t talk, but I felt safe, like I was walking away from something that would ultimately hurt me.

I woke up, then went back to sleep.

In the second dream, I was walking up the stairs to my bedroom and when I turned to close my door there was suddenly a third level to my apartment. I walked up the stairs and found this beautiful, sunny space that was like an apartment inside mine. I got startled when I saw Loki at first, but I felt such a strong feeling that I was safe, and I was meant to be here, that I didn’t feel scared. He let me walk around through the rooms, watching me, but it felt more like when you’re watching a little kid explore a space for the first time—very kind and patient. I walked through a door into this big beautiful place with lots of people, and Loki held my hand and walked with me. He had an arm around my shoulder while we were walking like he was protecting me. I felt loved and safe and hopeful. We walked through to another door and somehow we got separated. Then, I got bombarded with a bunch of strangers yelling and me about different things and trying to pull me in a million different directions. I woke up feeling a little confused.

What do we think this means?

A small devotional act still in progress 💚🔥

I've been working on this illustration of Loki for a few days as a devotional act, which will probably end up being part of his altar, if he likes the idea and the final result ♡ I am truly excited to be able to share with you a small part of the process, there is still a lot of work ahead 🥺🫶🏻✨

Hello!

I joined this sub a few days ago after seeing it recommended in another on 3 separate posts in 2 days. I’ve been talking with Loki for a few years now, never dove into the deep lore. I know a few stories but not the finer details. Going back and looking through this sub I realize that Loki has probably been with me my entire life, (even though I grew up catholic).

Anyway, story time from today! Loki has never had his own altar. They’ve always shared it with another deity. And even then, it was only one item to represent them. I’ve been doing some spring cleaning/decluttering around the house for the past couple months, and today I decided it was time to give them their own personal space after clearing/cleaning off my bedside table. There have been some things I’ve found recently (within the past couple days) that I thought Loki would like. Well, this one item I found was a fortune teller toy, sort of like an 8 ball, but it talks, and in a fun sarcastic way. I thought it was perfect for Loki’s altar, so I asked, through the toy, and it said no. I asked 3 times. So with a sigh I put it back where it was. But I just kept thinking it was perfect and that maybe Loki was just playing with me. So I put it on the altar and said let’s see how it goes. Oh boy…..

Y’all know where this is going. Ask, and ye shall receive. Not 2 minutes later, I hear a strong wind pick up and the sky was turning dark. I rush downstairs to look out the big window and it’s not just a simple gust, it looked like a damn tornado might start (they are not at all common where I live but they have been known to happen in recent years). That’s when I noticed the trash bins being knocked around. Tomorrow is pick-up day and many bins, including mine, were already on the curb. So I quickly put on a jacket and rush outside to get the bin and pull it back up next to house and position it where it won’t get blown away, and it’s a full on sleet storm. As I’m getting back to the front door, I hear a bouncing THUMP THUMP. Turn around to see the neighbor’s bin from diagonal across the street being blown straight for my car. So I quickly run back out to grab the bin and put it somewhere secure but where hopefully the neighbor can still see and come get it, or I’ll just take it back over later.

So I finally get back in the house with wind blown hair from the hood of my jacket not staying on, wet house shoes cause I didn’t have time to change them, and a half soaked ass cause I only had on casual lounge shorts. I then hear the maniacal laughter. So I march back upstairs and remove the stupid toy from the altar and head to the bathroom to brush my hair. As I’m doing so, it gets quiet. I go back downstairs, look out the big window and the storm has stopped and the sun is shining once again. All of this happened within the span of about 5-10 minutes.

I have since shared some cheesecake with Loki and all is good now. Bastard.

Oh, and you’ll never guess what the tarot card of the day was. 🤣

Red hair?

So I'm pretty new to working with Loki and I was just wondering something about them. I've seen a few posts in this community of peoples' drawings and they had red hair. I guess my question is, is it confirmed that they've red hair or is it an artistic liberty?

I try not to ask for signs

I really don't, yesterday when I could not find my 6 inch metal ruler I joked to myself that Loki hid it so I would have to finish their alter cloth. I was unsure about adding the sigil I made for them because its .... Something I made...... And imposter syndrome.

I looked in my pencil bag, I even took things out. And I checked it like multiple times. I promise I pulled every item out and out ir back... I .. mean.... I swear I did... Right?

Because today I decided to finish the stencil for the sigil and take my exacto knife out of that bag. And I remembered the little joke just for a second......

It was fucking there.... It was mother the effing fucking there... Like.... Just... Right there... So easy to see.... Right there ... Like ... Like it had always been there...

But you guys I fucking swear it wasn't!!! And I felt this friendly smugness.... Like a light weight feeling, not in me so much as around and behind me.

I swear... I looked.. I know I looked.... I remember it so clearly....

😂

I am excited but a little like whelmed. Not freaked out per se but like "woah"

Anyone else have a "Woah" moment?

Loki does not like record of Ragnarok Loki

So I was wondering what Loki thought of his representation in Media he loves Tom Hiddleston but he does not like record of Ragnarok Loki he thinks he's ugly and I agree (Plus like RoR Loki is really creepy and kind of predatory sometimes so I don't blame him for not liking him)
