Lokean Witch

Right now, as everyone surely already knows, American is on fire. The people are sick and tired of the oppression of minorities, specifically the violence poc face from police officers and the injustice in our courts.

Many in the witch community were planning on doing spellwork/prayers/etc tonight, which I also planned on doing. While I was thinking about this on my way to work this morning, a small black cat came galloping across the road. Thankfully I saw it running along side the road earlier and slowed down, so when it ran in front of my car I hit my breaks and didn't hurt the cat. But something about it just seemed off, like I needed a message. I know Freya is associated with cats, but she's not a god I work closely with so I'm unsure what to make of it if this was her.

Does anyone know what this may mean? And have any others noticed similar things today? Any input from the community is welcomed. I hope others will joining tonight and those who can are protesting.

A lot of Loki's most common suggested offerings are drugs (alcohol and tobacco especially). If you are someone you struggles with addiction, or addiction runs in your family, and you choose not to do drugs for any reason; Loki does not mind you not giving those types of offerings. You are not lesser to him, or to this community.

Does anyone else feel like Loki encourages them to be caregivers, pet owners, and/or parents, and more specifically to take care of the most vunerable?

So, firstly for some context, I have chronic night terrors/sleep anxiety, aka I have nightmares very often. They used to be nightly, but after starting a sleeping medication it's about 1-2 nightmares a week in average (still a lot to put up with, but better.) My nightmares are frighteningly realistic at times, and it's been very difficult to learn to live with.

Anyhow, it's just like any other night and I end up having a nightmare. I can't remember what happened to lead up to this moment in the nightmare, but I remember feeling terrified.

I'm sitting in a bed, its like my own but I'm not in my room. My bed is in some sort of loft(I think thats the right word?) above a living room that also doesn't look like mine. I can hear something moving around and my heart is racing because I know whatever it is wants to hurt me. I look around, trying to figure a way out . To my right, I see a skeleton. It's seemingly out a place, and seeing it makes me do a double take. It's not in the loft, but its raised on some platform I can't fully see (that, or it's floating) so from where I'm sitting it's basically eye level with me. While I stare at it, it slowly turns its head to look back. Without thinking, I blurt out,

"Loki?"

This freaking skeleton nods at me, and for some reason Loki being a skeleton makes perfect sense to me. He then proceeds to dance this hella goofy dance, like that one of the puppet skeleton that's memed a ton.

And ya girl could not control her laughter. I woke up still laughing.
