A life in threes

Month for Loki: Sixteen

A Repetitive Prayer to Loki,

   by Greystonegreys

Hail Loki, Mother of Monsters
Speaker of truths and chaos
Shifter of blame and power
Trickster, World-breaker


Hail!

Defy with me!

Month for Loki: Fifteen

Thinking about birds, shapeshifting…and Loki

Artist’s name above ^^^

Loki can shapeshift, but for some reason, He borrows Freyja’s falcon cloak on occasion.

For example, in Þrymskviða, Loki uses it to search for Mjolnir.

Loki also has kennings associating him with

Crows (meinkráka, harm crow)

Hawks (barni  öglis, hawk’s child)

and

Vultures (gammleið, vulture’s path.)) 

True

Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be a thousand
separate heavens
for all of my separate parts.

If you know me, you may notice that I love poetry.

All sorts of poetry.

But I’d never heard of Andrea Gibson, nor was I familiar with any of their poetry until yesterday.

Gods, I’d wish that I’d had, because my social feeds flooded with the beauty of their words yesterday.

But I suppose that is the way that it is, isn’t it?

And it seems a shame that I did not know of their existence until yesterday.
