Opinions on the afterlife as lokean’s
I wanted to share my opinions on two topics and more importantly hear your guys opinions on both
•Where might we go after we die
•How would you like your body to be dealt with when you die
I have been reading as much as I can get my hands on relating to Norse mythology and paganism ( I don’t like to buy things online so if I want something I look around charity shops and secondhand shops) I’m not a warrior in the way vikings would consider one but I like to think there a two possibilities
The first being more pagan and Norse pagan focused - Odin may have changed his opinion of what a warrior is or broadened the meaning to include people who fight in other manners than war such as activist or people who fight for the soul of there community like volunteers, doctors, firefighters
The second focuses more on being a lokean than a pagan -Or perhaps as a child of Loki, loki may guide followers they deem worthy to Asgard, Valhalla, jotunheim or one of the great halls as they are known for crossing the barriers between worlds often
As someone who considers themselves a poet, bard, artist and a warrior through speech not combat I hope there is a place of beauty waiting for me when I die.
Next I wanted to talk about how I want my body to be handled after my death and hear how you guys want to be treated
While the traditional cremation ceremony is appealing I personally much prefer to be a part of life’s circle and have my body be buried withought chemicals or shielding but to feed the plants and the bugs that I have lived off of
Obviously this is against odins laws of burial and could lead me to being kept from Valhalla but I have faith that Loki will guide me
So that’s my thoughts and I’ve been thinking about it for a while so I’d love to hear some input, feel free to teach me about anything you may know ( just a note I’m not a fan of reading things online I much prefer physical books and I really don’t like buying from places like Amazon for multiple reasons) as I said I’m still learning and I’d love to hear your guys personal beliefs and how your experience with Loki has affected your views on the afterlife to
Edit:
I should note that I’m aware the most common belief is that we will be taken by hel to helheim I was just wondering if people had other theories 😊
