Month for Loki: Seven
I found this post on Tumblr.
I like this take regarding Gods and expectations:

And you should, as the core of it all, let go of expectations for your Deities. Let go of what you’ve consumed from the books, let go of authorities, let go of explanations, let go of the neatness – and embrace chaos. Embrace the wilderness which is in itself God, call a name and wait for an answer. What voice sounds like home?
Gods will come multifaceted, iridescent, impalpable. Gods will break rules and expand where a mind burdened by expectations can’t follow. A chimera of a myriad faces might not want to always show only one side. Gods will change. Gods will surprise.
If the nature is untamed, so are its Deities. The wilderness has many names for each of them, a prism to choose a side of feeling over explaining, embracing over conforming, preparing over expecting.

Though I’ve been doing this thing for –what now? fourteen years? – I still need this sort of succinct reminder at times.
