u/Loki_Flamehair

I'd like to share a moment that happened years ago to me when I was just starting to develop my practice with Loki.

My now sadly gone Heartdog, Zeebo, and I were going to for a walk. It was midsummer. Beyond hot. I hadn't taken water for us, bc, we were just going around the block so he could bathroom. Except, he wasn't having it, him and his irresistible puppy eyes. I gave in and let him go where he pleased.

Until I realized it was becoming unsafe, and we needed to return home. We turned for home. I complained right out loud (yes, the neiggbors found me strange, lol!) "Oh My God - and yes, I mean YOU, Loki - I 'm so fucking thirsty, and, THE POOR DOG!"

Said I, as I turned away from a view of the street and crouched down facing the lawn where I had to bag what the poor dog had just dropped on it. Which I am doing, as I am startled by a loud 'plop!' from the street. Where no cars are passing by. Rolling to a stop at the curb is a plastic water bottle.

I am of course, astonished! I go pick up the bottle. It's cold. Unopened. Spring water. I thanked Loki before I opened the top, and kept it up while I helped Zeebo drink from the bottle; he was a remarkably smart border collie x staffy that I'd taught that trick and many more. I drank the remaining half. Loki was delighted with my reaction and amused and very present. One of the most amazing things that's ever happened to me!

Loki is not the God, or in my case, Fulltrui, for everyone, but for those of us who love Them, AMAZING!

I've been a completely inactive redditor for ages, then I learned about and just joined this community and I wanted to greet everyone, and, share a prayer I wrote for Loki. Let me know what you think and have a Loki-blessed day!

.................................................

Loki, Rokkatru, Jotun and God,

Hearken to my prayer of

Thanks-giving and praise!

Beautiful Loki, flame-haired Trickster,

Who burns the offerings

So Gods may prosper,

Clever Loki -

Slyest of all Gods and opener of ways;

Change-bringer Loki!

Inevitable Chaos:

Who taught me to fear no change of days.

Bright soaring Loki,

Shape-shifter Loki:

Your truth true wisdom

Your lies truths hidden, unbidden-

And never self to lie to same!

With Your gifts, sharp on both sides:

Feared by other Gods who call You

Traitor, though You are no such thing -

Blood-brother of Grimmnr, Glad-of-War;

Two sides of a dancing coin!

Husband, Wife, Father, Mother -

Sleipnir, Fenrir, Jormungandr,

Hel, the one who never lies -

All bear your name, and fate, entwined.

You are always to Your Own Self true.

Even when You lay in chains,

Beneath the snake -

Your mind above all others flew.

Hear me, Loki, Fulltrui, Teacher

As I speak my praise of You.

Grant me place within Your Heart

And in the shadows of Your unnamed hall.

Speak to me profoundest wisdom,

Know my prayers with my every breath.

Twist me, turn me, crash me, burn me,

Then rise my spirit with Your jest!
