w00tsit-deactivated20130217 asked: For your anon! When we say that 'Loki is looking over our shoulder' or that we are interacting with Him in some way, that means we are interacting with Him, or He is interacting with us as one would with any other person. It means we can feel His presence as you would if someone were near you. Feel body heat as if you were truly pressed up against a solid human being. It's bringing...

Anonymous asked: I really should know this, but I don't and I don't know who to ask so I found you scrolling the pagan tag. I hope it's okay I ask. Ignore me if i'm bothering you. When people say they have a personal connection with their patron gods what do they mean? Like people say things like "Loki is always over my shoulder" and things of that nature and I'm genuinely...

It’s really hard to find a happy medium between apathy and complete perfectionism and over-extending myself. It’s like I have to be one or the other because there’s nothing else I can be. And if I do manage to do something between the two extremes, there’s this little (or, often not-so-little) nagging voice that tells me I should be better, and that I’m being lazy or...

The past few nights I’ve tried the same thing I’ve been doing — a very ritualistic meditation, repeating the same preparation and process every time. It hasn’t been working. I’ve been incredibly distracted, nothing has been remotely clear or significant, and I think it’s because I should be doing something else. Perhaps the structure and ritual of this initial...

I have called upon them as many times as I could. I lit some of my strongest candles, and went into the best state of lucid dreaming, I can’t seem to contact any of the Gods. Not Hel, not beloved thor, not Odin, not even Loki (and I heard he was the easiest to contact)
Perhaps I’m doing it wrong.
I don’t think it’s so much that Loki is the easiest to contact, but...

So many new Lokeans! In the tags and now on my dashboard :D Soon Loki’s gonna have enough of us newbies to make an army.
…
Yes, that was intentional.

I’ve gone and written out the basic meanings and key words/phrases for the suit of Cups. I was rather surprised to find out that all the negative cards related to me perfectly. I guess that sort of gives me an indication of what I should work on first in terms of self-development. I’ll take the same sort of notes on Wands tomorrow.
I think tonight I’ll put out a slice of...

Tarot stuff
Because Loki told me to learn the Minor Arcana so that I can actually use it, I’m thinking that He’s going to be communicating with me through tarot a lot, at least maybe at first. I’ve gone and set up a notebook for learning the cards. I’ve set out a space for each suit, describing the suit at the top of the page and then leaving spaces where I can write down some basic...

I think — I think — I met with Loki tonight. I wrote it all down in a journal, but I’m just so incredibly excited that I have to share it here, too —
[[MORE]]
I drew a tarot card tonight, just as I have been doing, and it was The Magician. I immediately thought of the Giants’ Tarot, and how Loki is depicted as The Magician in that deck. I looked up the card in one...

Currently waiting for everyone to go to sleep so that I can do tonight’s meditation without fear of being interrupted. I’m not sure what to give as an offering — I was considering filling a shot glass with some sort of alcohol, but that would feel weird as I don’t drink and I wouldn’t know what’s good or bad. Not to mention, if my parents found it and thought...

I was going through my terribly messy room looking for some paints and brushes so that I could make some devotional artwork and I found a piece of nice costume jewelry, a gold bracelet, that used to belong to my grandmother. I thought of Loki (though that was probably just because he was on my mind anyway), but it was only after I slipped it onto my wrist that I noticed a pretty ornate L engraved...

Third meditation
Not much happened, and it was very light and I was sort of startled out of it several times by noises in the house, but one thing that’s possibly of importance: Loki (I think) dropped something in front of me — I’m pretty sure it was a piece of paper? It fell quickly, though, like it was heavy. I even heard a slight thunk as it hit the ground and I almost snapped open my eyes in...

Makin' stuff
This afternoon I made a sort of charm, a string of beads with the colors based on (what else?) the look of fire. I also bent two little pieces of wire, one red and one gold, into the 90-degree Kenaz shape and put them on either end of the string. My cat hung out in the room with me as I made it, of course. I’m thinking I’ll try a meditation again tonight while holding it; although...

Last night I lit that same candle, set out another offering, and sat down in front of both and tried meditating again. For awhile nothing happened, though I did start to feel pressure all over both of my hands. Then at one point there suddenly was a profound change, sort of like this huge wave, and although my eyes were closed the room seemed brighter and there was a sort of lightness to...

I feel like it wasn’t just bravery but kindness that lead Tyr to be Fenris’ caretaker and I feel like his gesture of putting his hand in Fenris’ mouth was one of comfort and that he actually felt really awful about them tying up Fenris and lodging a sword in his mouth.
I have a…
Oh xD Oh my gosh
The idea of Fenrir in therapy, just…

I lit some incense for Loki (on that same dresser) and sat down on the floor to relax and doodle a bit in a tiny sketchpad that I used to use to plan out bigger projects…used to, because I haven’t been doing much art lately, sorry to say. I promised myself I would stay put until the incense stick was finished, because I’m determined to get back to painting. While I doodled some...

During my first meditation last night, I was sitting cross-legged on a pillow on the floor with a lit candle and an offering in front of me. Eventually I felt myself being drawn up so that I was sitting straight, and with my eyes closed I felt like I had been stretched to be about a foot taller than I actually am. The pressure continued, pushing me backwards now and not up. I caught myself by...

I spent some time outside today to reconnect with the places in and around my yard where I used to play as a little kid. That wasn’t my original intention, but that’s what ended up happening. While I was walking to my backyard, I pinched off a small bunch of blue hydrangeas and carried them with me as I slowly wandered around, stopping at certain special places, sitting and...

“If you fail to show up for your volunteer shift, the Lokeans will be allowed to publicly ridicule you.” xD
Anonymous asked: Hey! Anon here. I'm tracking the "lokean" tag on tumblr (I love all of you, by the way!) and I want to commend you for being brave enough to make the first step in this relationship. <3 As of now, I'm still thinking about committing to Loki and even to Heathenism in general, and I want you to know that I admire you and really enjoy reading your posts. (:

Tarot reading last night
I heated clove and cinnamon in an oil burner, meditated for a bit, and then sat down with my cards. I drew a few from just the Major Arcana, as I’m much more familiar with that part of the deck and I’ve done many successful readings this way.
How things are going: High Priestess reversed. Things may be starting to be revealed, but I need to be more introspective and receptive. I need...

Well, I don’t know if Loki likes my cat, but my cat definitely likes Loki — or whoever it is who’s hanging around me. She’s been following me around all day, which is not something she normally does. And last night when I was attempting to meditate and whatnot by the candle and offering I’d put out on the floor in front of me, I was interrupted by a noise outside the...

I’m thinking of taking out my tarot cards and drawing a few to see if I can gauge how things are going, and if they’re going at all. Except I don’t want to leave my couch because there’s this amazing warm feeling on my back, like I’m sitting on a hearth with my back to the fire. Which makes me think, just maybe…
This evening I was wondering if Loki might like...

Little nudges, maybe?
In a car ride today, my mom was driving and I was in the back seat dozing and listening to music. A nice instrumental song came on, one that I like quite a lot but hadn’t listened to in a very long time. I couldn’t remember the name of the song for the life of me, but it didn’t bother me that much so I didn’t pick my head up to check my iPod. Then, although Loki...

Cross-Pantheon Worship
forathousandyears9111:
Alrighty peeps.. I’ve been curious for the past few days now..
How do you feel, and how do you think the Big Guys (and Girls) feel about worshipping and working with different Gods and Goddesses from different pantheons.. Like, For example, Loki and Athena, or Freyja and Zeus?
It’s my understanding that there are historical and cultural connections between the...

Wondering how to start
I think I’ve pretty much decided that deities are entities that can be interacted with. I mean, what with all these Pagans and Heathens and polytheistic reconstructionists gushing about their patrons, it’s a little hard not to come to that conclusion.
So, I’m trying to decide how best to let Loki know that I’m interested. As I write this, I’m sitting on my living...

First post
I created this blog as a sort of introspective aid. It’s a blog and not a private journal because I’ve seen a lot of people out there doing the same thing I’m going to try to do, and they might give me some advice or good discussion.
I’ve known about personal relationships with deities, and I’ve been interested in them for a long time, although I don’t know...
