Loki Project Day 27
You gave the Spear and Ring to Odin
The Hammer to Thor
The Ship to Freyr
The power of the Gods
Have passed through Your Hands
You wandered with Odin
Walked with Thor
Jotunheim has been Your home
Asgard as well
Many have called You welcome
You have given many grief
So many more hope
The courage to carry on
The will to face others, themselves
We call You holy
I do not follow the Norse path, but I started following your blog because of an interest in Runes and what seemed like similarities in spirituality. (I try to understand people of different spiritual paths.) Your “Loki Project” has provided some unique insight. I appreciate the work you are doing here.
Thank you very much, Mr. Tanner. I’m glad my work has given insight, and I hope that my Runes sections were of interest as well!
What insights has the Loki Project given you?
I have always known (since childhood) Loki as the “trickster” or the “bad guy” who was always trying to sabotage whatever was going on. In light of your work, Loki actually seemed very two-dimensional in retrospect. Your work here portrays a much more complex character that makes Loki more believable as a real entity, as opposed to mere fantasy.
I am honored and joyful that I have made such an impact.
I got into this because of Galina Krasskova’s call for a Month to Loki and it has been a powerful experience for me. She and others have been a source of inspiration as well as ignition for this project. Galina’s posts are frequent, thoughtful, and sometimes provide fuel for other posts I write on here.
The link to her blog when this was first started is here:

Another excellent blogger, a Lokiswife and Pagan monastic who has also given me inspiration throughout this project is Elizabeth Vongvisith, Her writings on Loki are awesome to read; I recommend reading her archives.

Both appear to be excellent blogs, but it will take some time to explore them in depth. However, I am compelled to respect both authors for their dedication to self-expression, which is freedom. Taking a stand for freedom is exceedingly noble. This of itself was sufficient cause for me to subscribe to both blogs, but I am certain they also have much more to offer. Thank you for your recommendations.
I’m giving you an Inspirational Blogger Award:
