Hello, I find your definition, explication and… everything about being a Lokean very interesting. I was wondering, after reading your FAQ, if there are books or text, that you need to read, to understand Loki better. I am curious, I believe chaos is necessary for life to be. I have other belief, that make me stop being a christian… I am not telling I want to be a lokean. But I am interested to know what it is to be a lokean, what it takes. But, I am curious…. Thanks anyway for very interesting text.
I understand that you’re not interested in being Lokean, but you are interested in what a Lokean is… I suppose for scholarly purposes or to understand others?
What it takes is a belief, at the very least, that the Norse Pantheon exists. Being a Lokean requires worshiping Loki, honoring Him, and working to understand Him and acting in ways He agrees with.
But then, being a follower of most all deities follow that pattern: worshiping, honoring, working to understand, and acting in ways that they agree with.
As for learning about Loki, I suggest reading the Eddas (Prose and Poetic) for a start. You can find them online usually.
To understand others, yes, and perhaps myself a little more? if it makes any sens… I would like to understand better, to be totally honest with you, I’m not sure exactly why. I always found Loki a very interesting being (i don’t want to offense anyone) but following another deity? I don’t know… That’s why I would like to know better what it is… What are the “rules” of being Lokean… (well I don’t know if chaos has rules though).Could you tell me what are the ways Loki would follows?
I am not sure if being a Lokean is my goal… Perhaps I am just looking for another belief… well, I don’t like the way I sounds, feels like I am asking some kind of spiritual guidance…. And I can’t express clearly what I am looking for exactly… (and not being really good in english does not help either…)
Anyway, thank you very much for the answers and for the suggestion of reading.
Your question’s a little difficult off the bat. If you take a look at The Six Lessons of Loki, though, it might start you on your way. You’re not asking for spiritual guidance, I think – just suggestions. If you have a blog, I’d be glad to follow it and submit suggestions and the like over time… if that’s what you would want.
G’luck to ya!
Thanks again! and, yes, I have a blog but it’s more… about silly things… I will follow yours, and I will certainly, if you don’t mind, ask you some questions from time to time…
And I’ve checked the six lessons of Loki. It sounds like a god who, essentially, is telling you: I’m not going to babysit you, do your own experiment. Am I right on that?
Yes, you are.
Are feel free to ask questions.
Hi, my name is Jaime and I´m from Mexico, I always have had a strange admiration and interest in Loki, and I read that you are a Lokean, so I would like to ask you many questions, I hope you can respond my questions. If you accept, please send me an e-mail.
