#real loki

It's my 11 year anniversary on Tumblr! 🥳

I am rather astonished at this number—it doesn't seem like that long.

Many thanks to the lovely friends and delightful followers who have made this a fun and fantastic experience! While many of my initial friends here are no longer active (I miss you!), these people are still here and still improving my day: @writernotwaiting, @malicemismanager, @gaslightgallows, @mastreworld, @ladyofthestayingpower, @izhunny, @calgal48. Let's take a moment to remember who brought us all together in the first place:

Like fire, passionate, warm, comforting, and determined but not to the point of danger and harmful. He'll wrap you in his cloak of fire when you seek refuge and warm you up whispering words full of love or he would set on fire anyone who dares to hurt you. No matter if it's in the past, he won't take lightly someone hurting his most beloved treasure, his everything, his love...

Hello! Thank you so much for this ask. Reaching out to Loki is super easy! I know a lot of people would advise that you set up an altar and make an offering in order to get his attention–and doing those things can be really helpful for YOU. However, if you have been thinking about Loki and feeling drawn to him, he is already with you! He doesn’t need an offering to give you a chance. He’s already right there, waiting for an opportunity to show you his presence and give you his love. Creating an altar and giving offerings is just a (very helpful) way of making space for the connection on your end–helping you to energetically open yourself to connecting with him consciously.  

Now, all that being said, actually feeling the presence and consciously receiving messages is the challenge for most people. We tend to get up in our heads, wondering how and what and where and when. Don’t do that! Turn yo head off! Relax, meditate, open your heart to him. Say the words aloud, even. “Loki, I open my heart to you.” Then visualize your heart chakra blossoming open and inviting his presence in. Wait. Trust. Allow yourself to receive, knowing that you deserve the love he offers, and not doubting that he’s there. You’ll feel it. Maybe not right away, but keep trying! Loki always comes thru. 

For me, the feeling of Loki is like a lover’s embrace. It’s passionate, and soothing, and utterly accepting. It feels like cool water on a burn when my heart is hurting. And there’s always a sense of humor in his energy, too. A warm, smiling sensation of love and playfulness. 

Sometimes, when I’m too upset or out of whack to focus my energy and let him in, I ask for a sign. Most of the time, it’s spiders. Often large ones. Usually appearing very near to me, in my bed, next to wherever I’m sitting, or something like that. Not just any old spider anywhere–something unexpected and out of the ordinary. Sometimes it’s birds, too. Crows, bluejays, anything sassy, or playful, or loud. Sometimes it’s a thought–a little voice in my ear, making a joke or a smart-ass comment (always with loving good-humor!), and usually in words that I would not normally use. This thought will immediately lighten my energy and lift my spirits, even if it’s just a tiny bit. It will bring humor to a moment of sadness or upset. That’s Loki! 

And once you learn to let him in, recognize his energy, and know the way he shows you his presence, you will start seeing and feeling him everywhere. But it does take a fair bit of consistent effort. And when you feel the worst, it’s the hardest to connect. Those are the times you might feel like you’ve been abandoned–but rest assured, you haven’t! And if you look for those signs, you’ll realize he’s trying his hardest to get through when you’re in that place of suffering and loneliness.

That’s my two cents on connecting with Loki. I hope it helps! Come back and tell me when you feel him!

Much love to you - and hopefully a few spiders, too ;)

PS. I forgot to add that before you do ANY kind of spiritual opening work, you should clear your energy and ask for protection. Especially if, like me, you tend to open yourself a little too wide, you can invite in more than you intended. Loki is not the only trickster out there. Make sure you’re only getting the one you want! All it takes is a polite request to the divine (I say, “All my spiritual family, please remove from me anything that is not of my light, and give me your highest protection now.”) It can also help to visualize putting on a hazmat suit made of golden, white, or blue light before doing spiritual work. 

I love Loki shadow projected on the screen behind Tom.

Every time I see this image I feel that the real Loki is present through Tom, it is a beautiful feeling and if they pretended to cause this effect they succeeded. Or maybe ... it's another trick of our God of Mischief 😉
