Contrary to Hollywood Loki is not Chaotic Evil, more like Chaotic Neutral/Good. He is a trickster still, but he does help when asked for and respected. Treat no deity like a fool unless you wish to be a fool and face their wrath. Sure you have to be cautious at times with him, but I have met witches that interact with spirits freely without being wary. A spirit is unpredictable when first met, meanwhile a deity does have their own moral code.
He has not deceived me, no he has only helped me out. Be it learning magic from him, him weaving benign magic for me, or him getting me to laugh for a while. He has helped me, even sends his wolf occasionally to see that I am doing fine. Without Loki… I would find things to be more somber. Working with a deity isn’t about power or securing something for yourself, it can just be about being friends and sharing a laugh. Learning to laugh at what things may do and smile at minor upsets, that is how you can change the game of life.
People tell me I am weird and crazy for being happy that I failed at something. To me, from what I have recalled with Loki in the past and my more recent experiences it is something good. Not everything works out as planned, you may fail a thousand times before you get to where you are needed. So if you laugh with each moment and learn as you experience it, then it is not a failure. I may mess up in a class at university, so long as I get out before the deadline, I have learned more and will be ready next time. Be it the teacher was an ass and thus I caused mischief until the end, or I didn’t grasp the topic fast enough. So long as I learn and work to change I will laugh, should I fall I will rise up laughing and run to my destination once more.
Loki has taught me to find the fire in the frozen forest and to grasp it for my victory in life, death, and the afterlife. Never surrender and always have a good time on your journey.
