I don't understand why people say him/her/them.
I know their is a story of him an Thor going to Jotunheim where Thor is in a dress and Loki is hiding as in the form of a woman. But other than that...
Are we not sure Loki is a man or?

Edit: Thank you for all the great answers!

Hi so I wanted to share an experience that I possibly think was connected to Loki or his presence, and wanted to ask more experienced lokeans if this is a normal thing w him.

For context, I'm a new beginner practicing paganism, and I've only ever given offerings to Loki. I have an altar for him in a box and decide tonight to offer a glass of water and some Hershey kisses (candy is a go to offering for me lol.) I also left his candle burning at the altar when I left my room to go to my mom's.

I had finished a midnight movie w my mom in her room and was walking out when downstairs in the living room, I heard the lion king start playing on my mom's tablet?? It scared the crap out of me and my mom as everyone was upstairs and the movie was playing on Netflix while her ipad was locked on it's own. Immediately after she went downstairs to turn it off, I head back to my room and asked my candle if Loki was doing it lol..

I haven't done any form of divination or communication yet though I have a pendulum, I've heard stories of Loki messing around w Spotify and music apps so I was wondering if this is just another case of that lol.

(Thank you for reading my ramble, It was a definitely a good scare. Though, great movie choice he picked !!)

Loki pulled the "5 more minutes on me"

I went to blow out their candles about 10-15 minutes ago and one of them went out and the other didn't. I tried again and it didn't work. Tried again about 10 minutes later and the candle blew out first try. And then when I walked into the living room one of the light bulbs started working again. He will really try anything 🤣❤️

(I had to leave for school)

A few days ago, my Dad ruined my altar and took a few of Loki's offerings (candies, to be specific). I was a bit mad, tho I think Loki found it funny. From that day I felt a bit disconnected from him,,, I fixed their altar and I cleaned it. Back to today, I am incredibly scared of spiders, in any form or way, but today was different. I was out in my garden with my cat, reading the EDDA for the first time, when I noticed a spider on my book. I wasn't freaked out or anything, I just thought "Oh it's Loki!" and I gently removed the spider from my book, placing it on the ground. It's weird because I felt safe, and calm for the first time around a spider. I've never felt anything like this. I just thought that sharing this may help someone, even if you feel a disconnection, Loki is always somewhere next to us. I'll go make them some coffee now<3 (Sorry for my bad English and thanks for reading)

I've been a hellenic polytheist for years, and I grew up in a witchy, pagan house. we've never worked with norse deities, only familial spirits and fae. I was the first to do deity work, and I love my pantheon with all my heart. but recently, I've felt called to loki specifically? I've been seeing runes accompanying crows, instead of the sun. I've seen spiders and snakes instead of turtles, and overall just been fascinated by the myths. so I wanted to ask actual norse polytheists- should I reach out to loki? i know my current deities will be fine with it, they've been telling me to expand my horizons, im just not sure if it's a good idea? especially because I know hellenic deities are really different from norse.

This is my first altar. I made it last night. I let the candle burn for a few hours and he/she/they told me they wanted a portrait so I stayed up till 2 or 3 drawing. It's the first thing I've drawn in years, but I somehow managed it. So far I've left a brownie, an acorn, a bunch of pop tabs, 2 sticks of cinnamon, a drawing of them, a drawing of a crow, jade, and bismuth. And tiny ducks.

I dont know what I'm doing but it feels right.

Does anybody have any recent stories from Loki like conversations or maybe just something funny. Been feeling really disconnected from them and would like to see if this could help me. Thanks.

I have been feeling very curious about the Norse gods recently. My husband is very dedicated to Thor and I know he loves to honor him as well as others. He says that he gets his strength of will and his steadfastness from his relationship, (I think you would call it), with Thor and Odin.

I was raised Christian, fire, brimstone anything outside the scope of the direct teaching of Christianity is the devil and temptations of hell. That sort of Baptist schtick. I never ever considered any other path until I met my husband. Seeing that he feels an actual connection to his gods. Seeing that he worships and works with the Norse gods because it calls to him and it feels right. When I cling to my beliefs due to fear.

Recently I've been having a lot of curiosity and I find myself wondering about this different path. I don't know rules or expectations or anything but I find myself constantly wondering about it. And for some reason Loki is often where most of my thoughts lead to. I don't know why. I don't know if it means anything. I'm just intrigued by all of this. Does this mean anything? Or is it nothing?

If Loki had a corporeal form, I’d smooch them on the cheek.

They’re always telling me my blind spots so I can enjoy my life and accommodate myself.

They’re just so helpful and it makes me so grateful for them choosing me years ago. ♥️♥️

I haven’t lit his candle in a while because it messes with my allergies but I did it today because I decided he deserved some of my good bourbon, and the candle did this soon after i lit it. It could have been the dust on the obsidian I have in there burning, but I think it was intriguing because the flame on this candle usually burns pretty dull.

I want to start worshipping her, because obviously as i am in this group I worship loki lol. I've done research about her but I wanted to ask if anyone here has experience with her! What is she like? What offerings does she enjoy? I've seen some pretty generic things but there isn't a lot of people who talk about her so I'd love to hear your stories or experience with her!

I am able to channel him/her in the strangest conditions. If any of you have channeled him you know what I'm talking about. There is something special about Loki. Like you think you know Him. Or do you really? Keep looking. He's not here. Meow. I'm a cat. Or maybe I'm actually a dog. Who even cares? Loki loves you deeply and that's all that really matters.

Ive been feeling very disconnected from him, but today was an eye opener.

A black snake shot past me today while I was outside and scared the sh*t out of me to say the least lmao Also, while I was praying outside something was burning, and the sky looked just like fire. I also randomly got extremely excited and just laughed. I probably looked insane but I just felt like laughing, so I embraced it and did for like 30 seconds lol. I also was able to hold a baby lizard today which was sick.

Another funny thing, just as I started praying and giving my thanks to loki, there was a bug that flew right up to my ear and was buzzing seriously loud which also scared me 😂😂

To say the least, he's definetly made himself known today. I really appreciate him showing his presence to me and ridding me of my doubts. I told him how much I am grateful for everything and I hope that he heard me. Hail Loki, today was really amazing!! :)

((( I'd post the pictures of the sky and lizard, but my reddit has been iffy. Off topic, but is anyone else having difficulty adding pictures? Every time I try to post one it says there was a problem uploading the image. If anyone knows how to fix that I'd appreciate it because it's been doing this for a few days now )))

Recently I’ve been doing a few simple offerings every day (like leaving a glass of water, lighting incense, and reading the Eddas to Loki), but my intuition isn’t very sharp yet. From what I’ve seen, while some are more gifted than others, intuition is a skill that can be honed. That is to say, I can’t always “feel” if Loki is there with me when I call to them

Loki has contacted me very directly once, and I felt their presence strongly, but on my day to day, it’s a bit more guesswork. I’m also a bit afraid of doing divination and not receiving an answer from them, or asking for a sign and not getting it. I definitely feel that Loki is with me, I just don’t know when

Do you have any tips for me? Is there a way to call them, like words I could say or a specific ritual?

Is there anything special you guys are going to do today in honor of loki (besides offering your food?)

This is my first thing ever on reddit but exept me feeling guilty because I can't really find time or I'm mostly tired to try and communicate with him this week, I really really want to get interested to worship other gods too, like Greek but I barely have space for a mini altar for loki, how would he take it? What can I do I really don't wanna mess up and the anxiety and guilt are getting to me...

I’ve been seeing on YouTube and TikTok about patrons, but I’m still not sure what that really means? I’ve tried looking it up on YouTube and Google, but that’s not helping me either. I’ve heard that when you find your patron, they will be with you for a long time and I’m also not sure what the signs would be if you found your patron and if Loki would be/is my patron or not.

Hello! (Eng is not my first language, so sorry for the mistakes).

Well, I'm not quite sure how to ask this question. The thing is that I've always been very interested in Norse mythology, I've read some things although I still have more to learn. This started when I was little, when I didn't know that paganism was possible because I grew up in a Christian family. Over the years I've had my periods of reading a lot about the subject, I tend to hyper-focus very strongly on some subjects and I've noticed that I always follow a pattern in the case of Norse mythology: I have a bad season in my personal life, I find my place of comfort in the myths and knowledge of paganism, traditions etc. I've always liked Loki a lot, I've always felt like a special connection with him, I feel that he's so different from me (I'm a perfectionist person, who finds change difficult but would like to be able to deal with it better) and at the same time that maybe he could help me develop, maybe change. In these seasons of reading Nordic mythology I always have signs that are usually attributed to him. I am aware that it could be that because I am interested in the subject, I notice things that I did not see before, but where I live there are no spiders, and if there are, they are in summer, and I have found more than 3. One even fell from the ceiling on my head, they do not scare me, I am simply surprised to see so many. Flies in strange places (my room, the door and windows were closed), seeing foxes when I go down the road (normally there are none), doing any activity in my daily life, Loki suddenly comes to mind, like an intrusion. I have always been a sensitive person, so maybe it makes sense. Until now I feel that it is something that I always let go, then I enter exam or work season and I get stressed, I fully dedicate myself to it and I move away from the interests that I have as hobbies (such as Nordic paganism and everything related to its culture). And now, I am in one of those moments in which I inform myself about the subject as a place of comfort. I wonder if maybe I always find paganism (and Loki) in low moments of my life because maybe it could help me. I've never worked with a deity, I'm not sure if so many coincidences are because of Loki or if it's me wanting to find a meaning on purpose (yes, I also tend to invalidate my assumptions, something else I have to fix). In fact, I write this because I really want to know honest opinions. About working/at least communicatint with Loki I feel like maybe it's something that would help me, even if it's just trying it out. And I want to know how to let Loki know that I would be willing to try something, apart from making an altar and offering him offerings, how could I tell him? I don't want to mess things up, I wouldn't want to offend him or something, I have an immense respect and admiration for him, I've always seen him with a lot of familiarity and I'd like to know what people here think about all this. I don't know how to read tarot (I only have pendulums) and I haven't learned to read runes yet, so I guess that will also be part of my learning process but still not an option for me.

Anyway, what do you think? (Thnak you so much for reading this haha)

(Sorry for how long this is and for my bunched grammar bc English isn't my native language) So I started getting into the pagan thing when my mental health was pretty meh. When I noticed I was drawn to the Nordic paganism and strongly to Loki, I set up an alter for him. Mostly I was giving him casual offerings because I was just begging to get into those stuff. But when my mental health began to spiral down I gave Loki more of a "meaningful" offering and asked for some a help and guidance to get better. Some time after that a guy a knew very vaguely asked if I want to have a relationship with him. And because I was low I thought that I have some fun before the end. His biggest hobby is taking care of spiders (mostly tarantulas) and his long hair kinda reminded me of Loki but a took it a fun coincidence. He also had similar experiences like I had but that he was mostly healed from and he helped me to heal myself and helped me heal from my phobias. He helped me come to terms that I am of a different beliefs in a strictly catholic country and did judge me, even encouraged me in my beliefs even while for him the system of believing is strange. This weak he was on exotic animal fair and bought a couple more spider and one mantis and it turned out that one of those spiders are for me. And because of that I had this feeling in the back of the head that also were presented when I was doing something with Loki (like giving offerings that he really liked or when I tell him what bothers me and the progress of healing I made). Which brought me once again to the thought of "Is my boyfriend sign/gift from Loki?"

I don't think this was loki but I just found 7 spiders under my bed, and one IN my bed for the 2nd time. I mean it could be loki, or it's just a coincidence 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️. But you don't usually see spiders around winter, and I thought it was funny 😭 I love spiders

I had an Ouija board reading done for me. it was so unbelievably accurate and they let me know Loki is my deity. It's really hard for me to understand things and as much I try to research I won't be able to process the information. I’ve heard about people making pacts with him sometimes with blood magick and I wanted to know more about that as well.Can anybody share information about Loki, how he is as a god, how it's like to work with him, how to worship?

Obviously there's foxes, spiders and snakes, deer, cats and doves.

I see Loki as a magpie or a crow personally, and Sigyn as a mane coon or black cat, or maybe a great white shark (sea puppy)

I'm still pretty new to the runes, but I bought this coin a little while back and wanted to know if they mean something or if it's just for decoration.

My altar and travel altar for Loki.

Recently and for a while I've been feeling almost disconnected from Loki. I'm in a state of believe and disbelief where deep down I know that it is true, but I also am in a bubble of doubt of the existence of everything despite having so much proof and experience.

I dont know how to feel more connected to him. I remember how it felt at the very very beginning a long time ago and maybe it's just a change as I grow but I just don't feel his presence, really.

Have you guys experienced a drought I guess ill put it as, where you just feel kinda empty or still? How did you overcome that? Did it just return with time, or did you have to do something? I give him offerings and I pray but I still feel as if I'm missing something.

Any help would be appreciated, or even just a story or something about your experience if you've felt the same way or something similar.

:) thank you! Hail Loki!

Hii, so recently I've started to read about nordic mythology quite a lot(especially about loki) and I couldn't get Loki out of my mind for some reason throughout the past few days. Personally I believe it's some sort of a sign and I should do something with it and I'd really love to at least try to start having a sort of relation with him. But I genuinely have no idea how to(I was raised to believe in Christian God and that'd be my first time trying to actually make any connection with a God out of my free will and pure interest so yes I'm very new to this)

I'm still trying to read and learn about him more but I'd appreciate if any of you have any tips for me how to start building that relation. I'm especially curious about things I should try doing and things I should avoid.

Also I'm sorry if anything here isn't pronounced properly etc. I'm not a native English speaker (ToT)
