To get rid of a headache, place your forehead against a tree and ask it to take your pain. If the tree spirit grants your request, you should begin to feel immediate relief. Thank the tree spirit for their assistance and leave it a small offering at the tree’s base.

So nice and simple.  :D

Anybody out there ever try something like this, and did it work?

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A GIANTESS CHICK NAMED SKADI

Her father, Thiazi, went to go steal the apples of youth back from Loki who had stolen them from Asgard to Jotunheim but then returned them to Asgard to possibly be stolen back by Jotunheim

and whatever.

ANYWAY, THEY KILLED THIAZI.

SO SKADI IS LIKE “YOU ASSGARDHOLES” AND STORMS THEIR GATES

but the gods are like, “WHAT DO YOU WANT ICE PRINCESS”

and she literally says, “I’ll settle for a husband and a bellyful of laughter.”

yes, this is an adequate compensation for killing other people’s parental units.

HUSBANDS AND GIGGLES

anyway

she wants to hook up with the god Balder because he’s Mr. Sex, but Odin says she can only choose by looking at the everyone’s feet

so she chooses whoever has the sexiest feet

and LO! it isn’t Balder, it’s NJORD!

NJORD!

NJOOOOORD. Damn, that’s fun to say.

so she’s like “SHITBALLS, FOILED AGAIN” and NJOOOOORD is like “Well, at least it wasn’t Loki”

and I’m like “Shut up, NJOOORD. You are just jealous.”

anyway

the gods have to figure out a way to get Skadi to laugh in bellyfuls

and Odin goes “OH LOKIIIIIIIIII”

“YES MASTER”

“MAKE HER LAUGH”

and then shit gets weird.

‘Loki produced a long leather thong from behind his back.’ 

why is Loki carrying around a leather thong

yes it’s actually a cord of some sort

keep that thought.

So he starts telling a story about going to market with a goat, except that his hands were full and the goat was giving him issues

so he ties one end of the thong/string/cord thing to the goat’s beard

‘So I tied this goat to a tegument…’

The word “tegument” comes from “integument”, which means “tough outer protective layer”

‘A tegument?’ said Skadi. (and the rest of us)

‘Lady,’ said Loki, ‘my testicles!’ And he looped the thong behind his scrotum.”

LOKI TIED A GOAT TO HIS BALLS.

HIS TRICKSTER BALLS.

‘OWK!’ squawked Loki, as the goat suddenly yanked the thong.

‘Owk!’ squawked the goat as Loki pulled back.

(WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO WONDER HOW THE HELL A GOAT SQUAWKS)

“It was a tug of war.”

THERE IS A TUG OF WAR GOING ON BETWEEN A GOAT AND LOKI’S BALLS

AVENGERS DELETED SCENE

and then the goat loses and Loki falls back into Skadi’s arms and she laughs and marries NJOOOORD and they bang in Jotunheim and Asgard but neither likes each other’s home so they decide to have a long distance marriage

but the point is

Loki decides that, shit, when your arms are full of groceries, just tie everything else to your balls.

THE END.

I am rolling. 

A SKALD AMONG US.

Can we please rewrite the Eddas like this.

I have a mighty need.

And illustrate them with internet memes. Someone make that a project, for the gods’ sake, please. Dedicate it to Loki, it will all make sense.

Like guys, check out Better Myths.  They have tons of ‘em!

Not just Wicca, don’t know where to start…. I would research more but I’m terrified that if i buy books or anything I’ll get caught.

There are places where you can download free e-books, and if you just keep your eyes open while surfing the Internet you can learn a lot as well.  Perhaps some of my followers who know of some good resources could help as well?

You might already know this - there’s a lot of bad information out there that you’ll have to develop a sense to sniff out.  Generally speaking, anything that…

• Claims there was a pan-European goddess religion
• Claims that matriarchy was absolutely, definitely a thing
• Speaks of ancient or ethnic cultures as if they were/are magical hippie elves
• Acts as if Atlantis was really for real
• Claims that all gods across different cultures are really just the same gods under different names

…is bullshit.

First, I should say I don’t take the story of Ragnarok particularly literally.  Wolves eating the sun and moon?  The Earth surviving having the sun and moon eaten?  Ridiculous.

The way I see it, the story of Ragnarok is basically saying that eventually, the forces of nature are going to destroy human civilization.  This is a fact and we know it.

Also, Norse mythology was never clear on Loki’s motivations for everything he did, and basically makes it sound as if he leads the giants just because he’s angry at the gods for locking him up.  Something that’s occurred to me is that the jotnar are Loki’s family and kin, and the jotnar represent the forces of nature.  Civilization has been quite unkind to nature lately.  For example, Loki’s mother Laufey is associated with trees, and trees are being torn down at an unprecedented rate.  Gerd is associated with the fertile earth, and the earth is being rendered poisoned and barren thanks to pollution.  It goes on.

Odin fights Ragnarok with an army of the dead.  Conservative and regressive politicians who want to maintain the status quo frequently trot out quotes by dead people or bring up how such-and-such admired historical figure would nevertolerate X.  In other words, they send the dead out to fight for them.  No, I don’t expect anyone to take this interpretation too seriously, but that’s what Odin’s zombie army makes me think of.  When it comes to making progress, the hardest foes we have to overcome are often the dead ones.

the more I think he is looking over my shoulder like, “Yes, good.”

“Good.”

>____>

Hayyy.

That’s how it starts, dood!

At first I was all “hey, let’s not hate, everyone can worship whomever”

now I’m like

“hey guise, check out this hiddles gif, I’m part of the Lokean FB group, also did you know that *random fact about Loki and his children*”

Sneakypants.

Yo, there’s a reason I totes pegged For Your Entertainment as a Loki kind of song.  Once he’s in, he owns your heart.
