Most religions have a trickster god, or at least a random guy like the Christian devil. The Nordmannic pantheon, celebrated by the Vikings, was no different in this respect. Loki, the god of fire and chaos of the Gentile faith, was a handsome, destructive, charismatic giant who was too clever in the middle, but not clever enough towards the end, when he finally got caught too often.
Acts of Loki’s clever trickery immediately came upon him. The son of the giants, Loki was adopted into the family of the gods, who were called the Aesir. Loki was the blood brother of Odin, the chief of the Aesir, and the two of them were as thick as thieves in many stories, when Odin worshiped Loki’s canny nature and slippery tongue that could hardly believe anything. Loki was also often seen in the company of Thor, the god of thunder, who contrasted Loki’s hard work and determination with his deceptive and often idle ways. You might wonder how a sleazy, lying, soft-spoken giant could slip through the elaborate route to Asgard…but young Loki wasn’t so bad. They came afterwards.
Loki means free time, and necessity, and what happens when a clever mind is left to its own thoughts for too long. For example, Loki is a god who likes a lot of practical jokes. Innocents didn’t make it in the mythology of Asatru, but not so- the long trail- dunt. Tears, feelings of hurt and heavy blows can only assume. For example, Thor’s wife Sif had beautiful golden hair. Loki, no stranger to his pride and arrogance, thought it would be ridiculous to impale her. So Loki cut off his hair in his sleep, and either way the story makes sense or because Loki used magic. scissors, if the hair is gone forever.
Now, maybe it didn’t happen to Loki to see Thor’s kindness when he saw his wife crying, but when Thor caught Loki and gave him a beating that threatened to last for a century (on purpose, of course) Loki administered it. from the repercussion of speaking, the result of the thumb would be taken if a shirt or a more beautiful head were taken. But Thor seems to go to Loki, insensible to such a terrible cry. For now.
Loki, knowing that the God of Thunder does not play around, went to the dwarves. A skilled craftsman, Loki spoke of the admiration of the gods for his work, and the two pairs of smiths engaged each other in competition. The dwarves lash out into rage, who see those gifts of craft better than those they have created from the best treasures. among the treasures was the spear of Odin Gungnir, the hammer of Thor Mjollnir, the new and genuine Sif, the living golden hair as that number. When Loki had promised his head to the conqueror, nothing was stipulated about it.
Although this is the first example of how Loki’s wit and easy language introduced him and then introduced him again out of trouble, there are many other examples of him trying to steal Freya’s Necklace with the Brisingstone, and when it was stolen and then managed to sneak away. Mjollnir, Baldur’s death sealed Loki’s fate. By this unsuccessful slaughter, Loki had at last earned that place of true and irrepressible wickedness by the downward spiral of the pernicious and unfaithful. Because of this crime, he was kept under the earth, bound by two sons of monsters (the other sons were the wolf Fenrir, the serpent of the world, Jormundgandr, and Hel, the goddess of the underworld), and the serpent was in charge of him. dropping poison in Loki’s eyes at Ragnarok. His wife would take the poison, but when Loki emptied the bowl into the cannons, causing an earthquake.
Loki is something unique, even in the pagan faith. It is the custom of sycophants to strive for order in chaos, and to overcome cunning and cunning. Loki shows a bravery that even Othinus respects, but his pride and poverty begin to strain him. Always needing to meet the last, or insisting that at that time it will be different, he grew bitter and jealous of praise and love for other loves, but not for him. Talis fell from his own Asgard, and Loki, once a friend among the Aesir, became his greatest enemy.
