Oh god. Ok.

So, Odin is probably the big one. Odin and Himself are brothers or blood brothers or whatever, when one drinks to Odin one drinks to Loki, that’s how it goes. They both have an age and a wisdom to Them, though Loki has a sprightly youth as well while Odin is more of an “Old Man” of sorts. The Wise Traveller. But you know this.

Thor. Thor and Loki are a trope, almost. The large strong one and the quick clever one. They cancel out each other’s weaknesses and make a good team. They travel together, and I think Loki is fond of His nephew but not above exploiting His rather blunt nature when He wishes to.

Hoenir. Seen in the Odin/Loki and Odin/Lodurr threesomes.

Skadhi. Loki was instrumental in killing Her father, so She’s not a fan. She hung the snake that drips venom upon Loki. As such, I respect Skadhi but do not approach Her, as I wouldn’t, as one of Loki’s devotees, want to upset Her.

Heimdallr. He and Loki kill one another at Ragnarok. I haven’t really worked out whether that’s a metaphor of anything yet. To clarify: I rather think Ragnarok was the decline of the gods in the last millennium and Their worship is now “reborn”, sort of. That is, I think it’s all metaphorical. But I’m not entirely sure and still sort of thinking it through. Anyway, I’m sure there’s some metaphor behind Heimdallr and Loki killing one another but I haven’t worked that out yet. I kept my distance for a while, given circumstances, but made some overtures a couple of years ago and found I rather like Him.

Baldur. Loki had a part in His death. As such, I don’t want to cross any lines and keep a respectful distance. Tbh, I don’t think Baldur is the sort to hold a grudge. I rather think He likes it where He is, but again, I don’t know Him.

Sif. I think They had some time together. See a post or two ago. I also think She tends to avoid Him now.

Sigyn. The ever-loyal, ever-patient, ever-loving. I adore Her. My UPG is that She loves fiction. Stories. Dreams.

There are so many more.
