Pagan Portals: Loki, Softcover Book

Loki has always been the most interesting person in the room, and the Norse knew it. The trickster, the shapeshifter, the one the other gods needed and resented in equal measure, he's survived millennia of retelling because chaos is genuinely compelling.

Dagulf Loptson's entry in the Pagan Portals series goes well beyond the Marvel version. This is Loki as a complex theological figure, a deity with genuine devotional traditions, and a force that serious practitioners of Norse paganism and the dark alternative spiritual path have been working with long before pop culture caught up. Loptson draws on the Eddas and historical sources while keeping the writing accessible, which is a harder balance to strike than it sounds. If your interest in Norse mythology runs deeper than the surface, this is the book that rewards it.

Softcover. Author: Dagulf Loptson. Part of the Moon Books Pagan Portals series. Focused on Loki Laufeyjarson as trickster, transformer, and devotional subject in contemporary Norse paganism.
