I see this rune everywhere lately and this week was one of the most distinctive times I’ve seen it in the sky!
I felt drawn to this one, and when I looked in the light I found that the rainbow reflection works around a big L right in the middle!😊 it really feels like he picked it out himself!☺️💚Hail Loki!
Hey guys, so I’ve been working with Loki for almost a year now and we are just now starting to get into the magicks side of things. As we know, Loki gave birth to all the witches. Well, he told me I’m one of those. More specifically, I’m a Celtic witch. He’s also my soul parent according to him, so we’re like really connected in lots of ways. Idk how to explain it I’m sure y’all will understand though. Anywayyyy, I was just wondering if any of you could tell me more about Celtic witch practices, how it’s different to other witches, and maybe even what the whole being one of Loki’s witches means for my magicks as well? Or at least, give me resources I can look at for myself? Thanks so much, I wanted to ask y’all specifically and not the pagan subreddit bc u all will understand the Loki side of things more.
There wasn’t really many customers passing by, so I took some time to make little doodles for them😊 Re-post because I forgot to add the picture the first time🤦🏼♀️
Loki's mom inspired by the needle meaning of one of her names (Nál), her association with trees and how tree-spiking is sometimes called vaccinating trees–or ecoterrorism–depending on what account you read lol. The bindrune on the nalbinding needles is her name.
Some of Loki's mischief could be hereditary? XD

I can’t really,, do anything else for now unfortunately due to space. However I made a little collage! :D to me he’s like a very proud dad, and like a “do no harm but take no shit.” Type of guy, chesire cat is there because i associate that with him. “Min faren” for those not familiar means “my father” in Norwegian!!! :”) i love my dad
A little humorous story here. I'm new so if anything isn't quite accurate please be nice about it.
--
In a nutshell, I've had a special relationship with Loki for years long before I ever considered working with him (or anyone, or anything!). He shows up VERY often in my dreams, I come across signs (and MCU merchandise when it shouldn't be there), and I find a lot of fun or inspiration whenever I'm thinking of or researching him.
Only about a week ago did I find this community and got really interested in trying something new (just Loki things) and decided I was going to take this seriously to see what happened. What happened?
I got trolled. As a welcoming gift, I figure. For the past few week I have been eating irony and enjoying humility. I was overconfident in my winter attire so didn't properly prepare ahead of time and suddenly couldn't reach my hat when it was time to leave so froze the whole day. I was making fun of people who fall for scams and then my credit card information got stolen in a hack the same day so I had to waste a bunch of time calling the bank and freezing my card. I finally decided to take care of my health and worked out (with a bad habit of overdoing it–keep this in mind) but got cocky at the exercise video's routine and thought it was a little too simple. My leg immediately froze up in a serious cramp so I had to take it easy.
So yeah. Thanks, Loki, for the laughter.
A quiet moment in the kitchen, probably before the kids are awake XD.

Ok, I'm in my feels and I'm seeing all these cute ideas with Loki and Siygn so- I just need to vent about my two divine moms who I see as two of many parentals of mine.
Like- THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER ISTG- "Never Knew I Needed" from The Princess And The Frog came on and it immediately reminded me of Loki and Siygn. I'm literally making a combined playlist for them on Spotify and I am getting so many ideas while I'm over here like: I CAN'T DRAW OR ANIMATE ANY OF MY IDEAS-
But that's not the point. I feel like they totally balance one another out, but completely work together and support one another. Idk if I'm just like...making this shit up, or if they're giving me songs and idea for me to freak out about, but I'm enjoying it
Edit: Loki presents herself to me as a female so that's why I call her Mom and call Siygn Momma.
very new to this but I made some runes for Loki! first thing I’ve put on his altar so far
from left to right we have
wooden box - thor kuromi jar - loki bowl - sigyn pearlish box - odin
so recently loki gave me signs he wanted me to set up some stuff for sigyn, so here we are!!! still needs more stuff that i will get eventually, but right now shes next to loki and i think shes happy :)
There was an assembly at my school when I was a teenager (and struggling with alot of things)that influenced me to give myself to the Christian god. Hiw do I take it back? Can I take it back? Or am I just thinking to hard on it? I'm sorry I just remembered and having a little but of an anxiety attack about it.😥
my mother did my tarots a few weeks back and it was saying a god is with me, good luck and fortune is coming its way, new transformation will happen. Now, I’ve had major good luck, i’ve had inheritance money coming in too. Yesterday I went for a job interview and got the job, I was so happy, when i was walking back from that job interview a raven flew quite literally in front of me. Now I would usually cross it off as a coincidence. However, I’m in the UK and yes raven do exist but its EXTREMELY rare to find one and yes this is the first time in my entire life encountering a raven. (such fluffy birds too!)
when i looked at the raven and said Loki i suddenly had a rush, down my spine and a wave of happiness, i smiled and kept on walking. Then i had my exam results for my uni. Unfortunately i was one mark off from passing and have to resit the exam which took the entire happiness away from me until i quite literally heard a voice saying “don’t be so hard on yourself”
i immediately did my pendulum reading and loki said that was him, it was a message and sign for me through Odin. I did then do some tarot readings, it said im hard working, new transformations is coming through, spiritual forces are coming in, others will see my hard work too. Then in the last tarot it said not to push my self so hard and not to be basically hard on my self snd that sometimes i just need to relax. and stop putting high expectations of my self.
It was quite sweet, i asked loki if i needed to do anything for the contract too, as i’ve been seeing signs but feel bad because i havent given him gifts etc but he told me that he doesnt need to me what to do, because im already doing it without realising.
Also as for anyone knows me and the connection i have with Loki, we all knew that Loki despises my boyfriend and he made sure his life was a living hell. But yesterday when i was doing a relationship tarot and pendulum reading with Loki, he explained to me that my boyfriend isn’t actually a bad person. Hes just really misunderstood. However, he did say i need help with my mental health otherwise my boyfriend will basically walk away (he even gave me the month…which would be in february) so now i have therapy appointment to help with that.
Lesbian!Logyn+Baby Bump. I think they have a big "we saw you from across the farmers' market and we really dig yer vibe", lol.

Someone online or irl denigrates Loki in any way? Like I keep occasionally seeing comments like "Loki shouldn't be worshipped, he's not a god (not part of the Aesir or Vanir) and he's also tied to a rock so he can't help anyone."
I literally saw comments like these on Pinterest photos and it makes me annoyed. And upset about it. Like, no amount of trying to convince these people that Loki is an actual god worthy of devotion will ever work 'cause they don't listen.
Choose the option that best describes your relationship with Loki on a spectrum of parental platonic to sexual exploration. Just curious how our demographics are spread here in this sub, as I know they can be quite a 'hands on' god compared to some.
So a night or so ago i posted a pretty nuclear idea. What if ai made cards with runes and English translation to the alphabet for Loki so he and I can communicate better? Well cards are made. Vetted it was indeed Loki (usually ask 3 questions to be sure.) here is a summary of the convo
Me: What is Pepe?
Loki: A cute beg (they meant dog, but it was cute though)
Me: hey Loki, how do you refer to [previous love interest]
Loki: Bin ouslo
Eventuallyy energy ran out cause i be tired but i don't know about the second answer. I aaked .ore questions to make sure it was infact loki and they answered the questions correctly. So either I got tired or they didn't want to answer cause he doesn't like that person anyways.
Thoughts?
Illustration of Loki stirring something in a mixing bowl while Narfi, Váli and Hel taste test lingonberry handpies. Váli and Hel are in Sigyn's arms with Hel poking some of the pie filling on her nose. Narfi is the toddler beside them and beside himself with delight at what remains of his pie after he got most of it on his face and hands.

I've been following him for about a year, and im still very much learning, but i feel like it could be better. What are some things i could do at home just to help our bond?
Any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated!
Part of a series of religious icons I've been working on for the past few years. This one is of Loki nursing a swaddled baby inspired by Nursing Madonna images. I also sometimes call these seið-paintings because I do them as a form of Seiðr–kind of like plein air painting in different Realms~
So I'm sort of new to working with Loki
Maybe not new just. Bad? I've been working with him a while but I'm still SO uncertain about wether or not he's there or if it's coincidence
ANYWAY I've had a dream or two about a boy with dark, long hair and dark eyes
I couldn't get a good grasp on his face but he seemed to look like me a little, similar enough that nothing was super striking
I've never called him by name in the dream, but I was distinctly aware that he was my older brother despite the fact that I don't have one
My mom said this boy also appeared in her dreams before and was hanging out with me
Lately I've been considering the idea of this being Loki since it's not far from how I imagine him and I've joked about looking related to his Marvel counterpart, but I've also had other dreams of Loki so I'm not sure if this is me connecting dots wrong or not
What do you guys think?
I noticed that since working with Loki, that he is very actively mischievous. Like not too long ago there was this spider in the corner of my room super far from the door. My fiance walked in to grab smth & the spider was suddenly next to the door throwing a web right in front of where my fiance walking.
Causing my fiance to walk into it & the spider to hit him in the face. Which of course had me cackling but my fiance was trying to shed his skin. He doesn't like any sort of bug like creature but in turn spiders have messed with him more since we got together.
Like he woke up one night with spider bites all over while I was completely free of them. Though it seems Loki likes messing with my fiance I can tell it's in good fun mostly. My ex got actually embarrassingly harassed by Loki for no reason. While Loki has been pretty playful with my fiance. The spider bites was after my fiance joked the night before about leaving me. It was just a joke & we laughed but Loki said, "in case you actually think of it tho."
But I have a lot more stories with just him messing about. Like when I was still in high school I walked out to the living room of my family home to find baby spiders hatched & were all over the walls, ceilings, & floating around. I reacted pretty calmly & told my sister she had to see it. She started freaking out & calling our mom. I just went back to my room. The spiders got into every room except my room. It was right after an argument with my mom about her not knowing how to apologize so I assume it was for that reason it happened.
For back story on that my mom & me just always clashed but growing up Norse Pagan, she is an avid Odin worshipper so I think we were bound to always butt heads.
*inspired by keyboard method post by OP
So I have an idea, and it's kinda nuclear imo. So I saw the OP's keyboard method post and it got me really thinking about this idea I have currently. It just came in my head as a what if? So here's the idea I have in mind.
I have a pendulum board, its got yes, no, maybe, will not answer, ask again, and rephrase. Since I also read a post months back how Loki isn't too familiar with the english alphabet (that post was about ouija boards from another OP; although apparently they seem to be a bit more familiar now from what I can tell). So I was thinking of grabbing the Norse runes, write them down along with their english alphabet meanings, and using that to spell out stuff with Loki using something he's familiar with and something I'm familiar with. I really want to try this and see what it will get me as far as communication goes. Pendulums, tarot and runes and dice are great, but what about something new? What are your thoughts?
