The Viking God Loki

The trickster of Norse mythology, Loki is a prankster and shapeshifter, sown chaos and mischief among his people. With his wit and cunning, he survived the fallout from his pranks. He was considered a god of the Aesir tribe. His parents were giant Farbauti and the minor goddess Laufey. It was prophesied that Loki would fight alongside the jotnar at the end of the worldly life. He would transform into a seal and battle the eve-spirit Heimdall.

The name Loki is derived from the fact that Loki, like his brother, is a demi-god. It does not appear that he has his own worshipers. Nevertheless, he has many followers. Some of them worship him, while others worship Odin. However, his role was primarily to cause trouble for the other gods. As a result, he was a god that caused trouble for the humans and the rest of the world.

In the Prose eddas, the god Loki can take on many forms. He can be a horse, a wolf, a lion, or a fish. Various shapes of the Norse god are represented on various artworks. These paintings and sculptures are the products of the Viking age. So if you are looking for a new gift for a loved one, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful carved troll!
