Loki is the trickster of Norse myth, the shape-shifter and cunning agent of change, and this statue shows him with the children who make him the father of fate itself: Fenrir the great wolf and Jormungandr the world-serpent at his side. In them is bound the turning of the ages, for these are the monsters destined to bring down the gods at Ragnarok, the doom that ends one world and begins another. Standing 10 inches tall, this detailed figure brings Loki's restless, transformative energy to the altar or desk, a focal point for change, cunning, and the courage to face what comes.

Product Details Height: about 10 inches (base approximately 5 x 4 inches) Material: resin Finish: bronze tone Form: Loki with Fenrir and Jormungandr Use: deity statue, altar focal point, transformation and change work SKU: SL850 Sold by Plentiful Earth The Spiritual Significance Loki is the great ambivalent figure of Norse myth, a shape-shifter and schemer whose tricks both endanger and rescue the gods, the catalyst who forces change wherever the world has grown too still. With the giantess Angrboda he fathered three fateful children: Fenrir, the wolf so dangerous the gods bound him and who is destined to slay Odin; Jormungandr, the serpent flung into the sea who grew until he circles the whole world and who is fated to kill Thor; and Hel, who rules the realm of the dead. To show Loki with these children is to show him as the father of the forces that will remake the world. On a modern altar, Loki is worked with for transformation, for cunning and clever problem-solving, for breaking stuck patterns, and for the courage to face and integrate the shadow. His is not a tame energy; those drawn to him tend to value honesty, wit, and the kind of change that is uncomfortable before it is freeing. Approach him with open eyes and a sense of humor. How To Use Place the figure on an altar or workspace where you are inviting change or doing transformation work. Set a clear intention for what you wish to transform, then light a candle or incense to begin. Sit with the image and name honestly what needs to shift, including what you would rather avoid. If you make offerings, those associated with Loki tend to be sweet or spirited: pastries, candy, or a measure of whisky, with good humor and honesty. Cleanse the piece from time to time with smoke or moonlight, and dust it gently with a soft cloth. Pairs Well With Loki Bust, 11 Inches a bust of the trickster for a more compact focal point. Odin Bust, 11 Inches the Allfather, Loki's blood-brother. Thor Bust, 14 Inches the thunder god, Loki's frequent companion and foil. Thor's Hammer Plaque, 12 Inches Mjolnir, the great protective symbol of the North. White Sage Smudge Sticks to cleanse the space and the statue. History & Occult Background Loki and his children appear throughout the Poetic and Prose Eddas. Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel embody the forces the gods cannot fully control, and the myths foretell their part in Ragnarok, when the bound wolf breaks free, the serpent rises from the sea, and the old order falls so a renewed world can follow. Unlike Thor and Odin, Loki shows little sign of an organized ancient cult and is primarily a mythic figure, though many honor him in modern Heathenry. The horned helmet seen in such depictions is a nineteenth-century artistic convention rather than authentic Norse dress. Frequently Asked Questions Who are the creatures with Loki? They are two of his children with the giantess Angrboda: Fenrir, the monstrous wolf, and Jormungandr, the world-serpent. Both are central to the prophecy of Ragnarok, the doom of the gods. Who is Loki? He is the Norse trickster god, a shape-shifter and cunning schemer who is both helper and adversary to the gods, and the great agent of change in the myths. Is Loki evil? No, though he is far from safe or simple. He is genuinely ambivalent, a force of necessary change and disruption rather than a straightforward villain. What offerings suit him? Sweet and spirited things such as pastries, candy, or whisky, along with honesty and humor. Practice varies, since there is no single fixed tradition. How do I care for the statue? Dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the finish. Avoid soaking the resin.
