Hello everyone, thank you for joining me on another Wednesday video. Please, do pay close attention to the notes on this video because it contains extra and useful information which I have carefully wrote, and purposely did not talk about it in the video, to save us some time and avoid making an even longer video. Hope you enjoy it, I'll be around. Cheers!
Nice.
Also, I've used your Square of Nine for runes and Tarot before I realized you were credited for it. 😂
@13:34 Throwing food on the fire is that like throwing fat on the fire where fat is salty like sweat of the skin and the inner eye is a salty secretion they call cerebral (if you like I'll show this word in the stars) fluid that is photo-reactive. The first thing that takes place in the embryonic stage is that a tiny piece skin is pinched off and becomes your nerves which your brain grows from plus others things but your eyes will pool up where your ears will grow where a pyramidal bone will later grow but flow across the face like a flood and take their place before a furrowed place where the pyramidal nose will grow and the eye will be cupped in twin cups made of 7 bones and in thy eye will find 3 golden pyramids called cones that capture the 7 colors of the rainbow and if you bind 3 7's 777 end to end they form a 60 degree triangle 666 and body is design by the triangle thy nick has 8 on it's own, oh by the way before the eye is complete another piece of skin is pinched off and becomes the crystal that catches the light and directs it to the golden egg
Hey, I was speaking to Galina Krasskova recently and she recommended that I look into divination in regards to a certain family issue. Do you have an recommended books I could check out in order to teach myself and hone my talents?
Cro Magnon Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately the issue I’m dealing with is... A bit more complicated than what tarot normally deals with.
Additionally, I do already have a bit of a gift. I have seen numerous visions of the future that did indeed come true. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of how to harness my gift, making it practically useless.
I was hoping that you would explore the connection between Logi, and Loki a bit further than that....
Logi being the Fire-God related to Fornjot, whose mythos became blended with the more popular knowledge/trickster "god", Loki, which in my opinion is where the fire element comes from, this may be the "Logathore" you mentioned, but your video is the first mention i have found of that name variant.
So i cannot be sure, but I would LOVE to see a video where you trace the origins of Kaari, Logi, Aegir, and Fornjotur, as these deities are found briefly in Norse mythos, but seem to originate from Finnish/Estonian Kaleva/Kalevi and the Kalevala, which seems to support their existence as historical figures who had been given supernatural properties. because regardless of the culture that documented it, there was records of a "Giant-King" who had godlike children and ruled Jotunheim and/or Kvenland around the same time period.
(Ironically and unrelated to Loki/Logi; Kalev the root name of the Kalevala, and Kalevi, is also the same as the biblical hebrew name for Caleb/Kalev who was known for wrestling giants and was given land by the Lord of Jerusalem, which its a stretch, but it does stimulate the curiosity as to whether or not there are connections there.
Chaos is the advocate of change, that is the reason why Loki is such a fascinating entity in my personal opinion.
@Vindhlér's Wife yes
Loki is a traitor.
@@leosharman8630 Loki isn't a traitor without him/her. The world would always be stagnant. Loki forces the world to change for the better. Even if that means the new world is built from the ashes of the new one. Ragnorok for instance in my opinion is the end or the stagnant world we live in. And the beginning of a new start a new non stagnant world.
The shapeshifting elements echo this too
@@leosharman8630 Loki is only a "traitor" in that he never allowed the cruelty put on him by the Æsir to go unpunished. Loki is merely the consequences of one's actions manifested, good or evil. He is no more a traitor than Odin is a liar and a thief. Context is everything.
I'm from the Appalachian mountains, I remember my grandma throwing sa!t on the fire, she said to calm him down. Thank you, this was a wonderful talk and it explained a lot of the things I grew up hearing and doing.
Have to say, lol your channel is the only thing I enjoy on youtube.
me too! and it’s because our german and scottish ancestors settled the appalachian mountains and brought all that with them and my grandma taught me branch and knot magic , breath healing etc
fellow appalachian! Hello.
this video was extremely useful to me, and I'm sure it is to others as well , as a Lokean myself this video is of great importance
Oh! Another Lokean :o hehe, there is another in the comments somewhere around here ^^ and thank you, I'm very happy to know this was somewhat useful
@@ArithHärger Ha, ha...and another one here. Gee, we sure did surface for this one. Always love your very informed and informative episodes.
@@ArithHärger And another. Thank you for your work! Give the kittens a pat for me. lol
@@ArithHärger and another one here!
Another one here :)
So as an ex-Christian germanic pagan, I associate this "entity" of fluid spirit as neither good nor bad, Loki the trickster. I am thrilled to connect with this spirit/energy. My struggle with this has been purely Christian influenced, I believe. I'm starting to understand, I think, why "Loki" has struck me even though I was focused on germanic practice generally speaking. I have to leave entirely the dualistic view behind. Easier said than done, but I'm giving it Hel. 😅
So far this was the best source of information on Loki I've ever had the pleasure to come about. This was really good all the way to the end, thank you!
hardly, I think, but thank you for saying so, friend :) very kind of you
Thank you for another interesting video, Arith! I've read that in some very rural parts of Sweden this entity was most often refered to as "Odens dräng Loke" (Odin's servant Loki) and during the year he was sometimes given small offerings of seasonal food. Otherwise he might perform some mischief. But this was at least 150 years ago, and I don't think this custom is practiced anymore. As a kid, when hearing the Norse myths for the first time, Loki was always my favourite character, because his wit and humour so often got him in trouble, and because he has such complicated and mysterious personality... :-) Ha en bra dag!
My husband and I were literally having a conversation about Loki last night. So this is wonderful timing!
Yes, I heard you guys, which is why I made the video. I was the one behind the sofa ;p
I really recommend to watch Howl's Moving Castle. Shape-shifters, Warlocks, Fireplace spirits causing change, you got it all and it is a beautiful movie.
“ Hodor, Hodor, Hooooodoooor” - Hodor Bahaha🤣🤣🤣 Arith you are awesome 👏. And then to top it off two adorable kittens! Excellent!!
I always considered Loki to be quite malevolent or more a nuisance, but now I see him as the hearth spirit I've warmed to him. Lovely to meet your furballs, little tricksters with total charm.
You channel is amazing. Your deep knowledge about norse myths and spirituality has helped me a lot on my own research of old religions. Some of the ideas you expose in your videos are also found in ancient South American cultures and it's amazing to have such a good source on paganism to help me understand that we all have things in common. Sorry for the bad english, greetings from Perú!
Thank you friend! It's important the study of comparative mythologies so we might reach, as best as we can and as far as we can, the Origins of belief. Cheers!
I’m curious about those similarities. Whats similar with South American myth and Scandinavian myth?
Water can slake the fire, yet fire can evaporate the water (transformation/alchemy) into steam (ether and higher lucid sight regards to esoteric transformation) when controlled. Fire can provide warmth yet it can also burn your house down. The fire path of wisdom regards to the human psyche is important to respect i.e. there is wisdom, crazy wisdom and just crazy. So balance is a key pt worth noting whether literally or metaphorically analyzing this deity and associated runic significance. Awakening to the highest human potential involves eventual cessation of attachment the egoistic confines yet it can also 'fry the mind' for those who are too needy to remove the fetters that bind us to the more limited self reference pt's.
Your comment about Loki be your companion of Thor and attributing that to lightning hitting oak has me thinking about the comparison between Thor's farming attributes and loki being attributed to the heat rising from the fields in spring 🤔
Exactly! :)
I'm So Happy for You! You needed those little ones in your life for sure! A life without a cat is an empty life! Lol
So it is interesting, in connection with fire, to note that the story of Loki being bound is, in the Icelandic manuscripts, associated with earthquakes. Earthquakes in Iceland would then be connected with the volacnic activity (i.e. fire that is bound in the ground).
Greetings from the Texas Gulf Coast. Congratulations on the two little ones. Thank you for adopting street-kittens.
Hey there! Thank you very much!
From the right perspective, one could say that Loki is the most powerful of the gods, in his ability to make his will manifest whether anyone likes it or not. If you won't play his game, he'll make you. And he'll have you actually choose to. I wonder if this is why the Trickster God is often the Creator God in some mythologies, especially Native American ones.
@Vindhlér's Wife yes
I've heard it said that Loki is ( or is derived from) a domesticated fire spirit where as Logi is the spirit of wild, untamed fire. Basically you really made a convincing case for that in this video. Won't elaborate don't want to overload you reading this lol. It seems that the Loki we know from Snorri is the same Loke from Saxo but with many changes due to language, culture, the conversion etc. Very mind opening. Thank you, Arith.
Seems you have read my mind as I've been researching about Loki lately! 😯
Can't wait to dive into this video! 😁
Hey! Hehe great! Hope you enjoy this video! Cheers!
Extremely well informed. I had long associated Loki with the firepit in my career as an occultist. Going as far as leaving offerings from whatever feast or party. This absolutely validates my assumption.
By the way, my orange, green eyed Tabby is named Loki. And yes he is a trickster and a thief!
loki is also associated with fire because of the myth of him walking with thialfi and thor through jötunnheim, in which he has to eat more food than the fire can do. Great video, Thank you for that! I’m very grateful to you for sharing your knowledge with us, thank you! may the deities always be with you!
Perhaps the story about Like and Sighs hair being cut and replaced by golden hair is about the burning of fields and subsequent enrichment grain crops.
Loke dampened auto correct
Yes good point!
I am really grateful to you for your kind treatment of Loptr, Son of Laufey. He is unfairly maligned by those who fear change, and by those who are influenced, either consciously or unconsciously, by Semitic religions which obsess over an adversary figure and do not contain a differentiated Trickster figure, as most indigenous world religions do.
He is also a genuine and living spirit, a Divinity, with a discrete consciousness and clear identity. He is a wonderful, brilliant, creative and free being. In understanding Loki as more than just a mythological figure or a 'pagan adversary', we should behave as we do when we have heard malicious gossip about someone whom we do not actually know: we should ignore the gossip, and endeavor to look into impartial sources for information about them. Most of all, we should seek to contact them and get to know them as a person.
Loki is unfortunately also misunderstood due to the tremendous popularity of the Avengers movie franchise; though there are some elements of his character that are accuately portrayed by his fictional representative, He is so much more than this. He is also not Odin's child, but his brother - and some say, His other face. A blood brother is akin to a twin, and a twin is a mirror image of the self.
The Farose song(s) about him strongly suggest that he has a kind heart towards children; one could say a parental spirit, and this would extend towards not only children, but beasts as well.
I would also add that the people who call themselves 'Lokeans' may wish to rethink this self assignment. We should be careful when we take on a group identity. Loki is a God of freedom, who defies conformity, and when we asssimilate to a group, even one which worships him, we stand the risk of blinding ourselves to the potential for freedom. If we wish to know him, that path is best walked alone, just as He often does. Loki isn't an anime figure or a furry, He is a Divine being - a Holy being. He deserves the reverence that we offer to Gods, but I also would wager He does not want slaves.
If i remember correctly, The word for pine needles was the same word they used for pine resin which they used to start a fire. Together with a flint and steel (which you strike hard) they would make the contents of a tinderbox that everybody would have. The found such a tinderbox with resin still in it, in de glacier of landbreen, norway.
So loki is the son of pine resin, and flint and steel. Thus; fire.
💖😺💓😸💖
Such lovely kittens! And how very apt that you introduce them in a video about Löki.
Another superb work, Professor.
Someone needs to send Tom Hiddleston a link to this video.
😺✌💖😷💪™
As a Lokean, I find this instructive and educational. Thank you! You are doing Mimir's work for us looking for more knowledge.
That's a very nice comment hehe, Thank you! Have a great day!
Hello fellow Lokean :) I found this video extremely useful
I love how happy you were when I introducing your kitties, so cute 😊♥️
There is always a soft spot in my heart for this spirit. I think I admire using your wit to fix your mistakes is an admirable trait.
I've been researching online and had a really hard time connecting the pieces and discerning historical truth from modern day make believe. Thank you love your videos theyre the ultimate resource ❤
Enjoy the company of your new friends, as well as the task of earning their trust, respect, and loyalty.
Thank you friend :D
This is insane!!! yesterday I felt the power of loki (was involved in an accident that totaled my brand new car) still today I give him thanks.
Just came back from work, I will get a snack lol and settle down to watch what I'm sure it will be an awesome video as it always is by dear friend Arith
Enjoy it friend, have a great day! :)
Love these videos, so succinct, clear & really informative. What a sweet guy ... when he brought out the kittens & his philosophy about adopting those in need. :)) Lovely.
My daughter entered my office and screamed: "Gatiiiiiiiiiiihos!!!!!!" :D :D :D
Haha! Gatinhos yes!
I think this is your best video yet. I appreciate the subtleties of your investigation.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video, it’s like being able to sit in a university lecture on Loki! I’ve watched it once and feel like I want to watch it again and take notes. Thank you for providing the bibliography. I find Loki fascinating and love him (and I have also loved Prometheus since childhood growing up in Greece -so it’s fascinating to me to hear you draw parallels between them.) I’m unbelievably grateful for the time and effort you put into this!
Just chiming in to say how much I love your videos. I learn more from you than I ever could from books (mostly because I don't have time to read atm so I rely on pod cast-type learning for one of the first times in my life since I love reading). Anyway, point is, I'm very grateful for your videos and hope you continue them for a long time to come as knowledge is infinite!
Thank you very much, friend. Such a lovely comment :D really very kind of you to share such words of encouragement! Thank you for your support!
@@ArithHärger No problem, my friend! I really appreciate the effort you put into your videos. You're thorough, clear, and you don't add any annoying unnecessary music or random effects or sound bites just because it's "popular" to do. Just to the point but also engaging, which I really, really appreciate! I wish you all the best in life! =D
I really felt that quote by Hodor
At least the door was closed
Very interesting topic. The legends will tell us about the connections between the Spiritual beings, but we must remember that it is more important to actually experience Nature to properly understand the Old Gods as the Natural energies that they are. Books, legends, they can give us an idea, but they cannot give us the full perception like actual experience in Nature. Loki's association with the Oak tree, is very reminiscent of Veles being struck by lightning while stnding under an Oak tree by Perun, (Thor) in Slavic Paganism when he finally vanquishes him in their annual game when Veles steals from Perun which brings a hault to the fertile season. Perhaps if we look to Veles, we will understand more about Loki. Only difference is that Veles was and is highly respected as a God in Slavic Paganism. The idea of a wild Nature spirit that isn't worshipped as a God but has a vital importance is an interesting topic.
You really did well with this one. As someone that really identifies with Loki this really solidified a lot of ideas I had
I am so glad Gigi and Sol have come to you, as I know how much you missed Mr. Tico!
indeed! I was in great need of new companions. Mr. Tico's death was quite the blow on my spirit, and I've felt very hollow inside for the past 2 years. These kittens are helping me out ^^
@@ArithHärger My cat Holly is 20 years old. Amazing she has shared so many years of my life and is still doing well! Also thanks for all you continue to teach about all things Norse! You are worth your weight in gold!
What a great morning for me to wake up and see a video from you!
Good morning! :D
@@ArithHärger Likewise
Sure was a long one, good job. Seems you could have kept going like there's still tons more to cover. Your take a break is much deserved... Goodluck with your kittens :)
I could honestly go on for at least 3 more hours :x this was a fun one to research. Thank you!
thank you Arith on yet another amazing and thorough work of investigation
Thank you friend, I hope you have enjoyed it :)
thank you for making this! as someone who's worked with loki in my personal practice for a while, this was very interesting and informative.
Unfortunately, youtube will not let me "like" this video 1,000,000 times!
Congratulations to your new additions to your family, Gigi and Sol!🐈⬛🐈⬛
Aww those are such adorable little kittens. :)
Thank you ^^ hehe
Ah yes, i remember seeing a post about the new babies. Congratulations! 🎉
Oh, this was very interesting and makes a lot of sense. It also explains why Loki seems to pop up everywhere and a version of him seems to exist in every culture.
I relate a lot to Loki. Hearing you describe him makes me smile
growing up, i used to look for him everywhere, like on characters on tv etc. without even realising it. I just love his personality and everything about him!!!!!
Thank you very much for this video 👍☺️
My pleasure ^^
Excellent video, helped me solidify some thoughts on shamanic practices and on Loki as the trickster. You've convinced me at least regarding his conception in pre christian norse tradition. I wish there was a resource like you for insular celtic traditions. That's my main interest. Unfortunately no one I've found comes close.
❤️
I totally enjoyed this video as I am one who has a lot of Loki in me :) ! and the babies are looking awesome but i bet they are a lot bigger now ! do give them both a kiss from me !
I shall send them your kiss, from my very special friend ^^ they are indeed a lor bigger now hehe. Thank you my sweet friend !
You know, I signed up the moment you said you adopted kittens! It is so beautiful! For me this is the key to my heart 😍 Thank you so much! 🥰
Thanks you for sharing such a wonderful lesson, I enjoyed every minute . 🙏✌
Thank you my friend! :D Glad you enjoyed it!
I lost mine after 14 years amd adopted my Rorschach after the time needed, so glad to see you with two new little ones. Nothing beats giving a good home to a loving pet.
Ps i realize this was 2020 but still exciting lol
Going to dive into another amazing video of yours! I have been drawn to Loki for many years but resisted the pull. Finally, I started researching him in the last year and realized he is a diety I identify with more and more as I studied. He is responsible for my coming back to the spirituality of my ancestors. I am learning more each day as is my youngest daughter at 21. I have been pagan all of my adult life but have never felt such a connection as with the Norse pantheon, especially Loki and Hela. Thank you for lighting the path for myself and my daughter. She adores your videos as well. We have deep conversations often after watching them together though we are on slightly different paths.
Great job! Loved every minute of the deep dive on this subject. Congrats on your new cat friends!
very well spoken in a very comprehensive way for such nuanced topics
Hello. I have something to share here. Shortly, I'll my experience walking through fire. I was sleeping just now and found this video. For years, I've wondered how I walked through fire twice. Barefoot both times. These were bonfires. High high flames. Not a camp fire. Bonfires. The first time was in the mountain. At a party. Sober but yet filled with energy, I found myself in trance. I was 18 or 19 years old then. A long time ago. I'm almost 40 now. That was night I wrecked and tumbled down a cliff. My driver was drunk. I was not but I had impaired judgement getting in the van with him which ultimately lead to my divine experience escaping death. My hands bloodied and slaughtered from the wreck I pulled myself out a 52 foot pit in pitch black dark. I had foreseen this wreck before hand. It's how I survived. I knew to cover my head with my hands and go fetal position while tumbling. My hands were slaughted by glass. When I walked through the fire people recorded me with camcorder. The tape itself was destroyed in the wreck in the van. It's a miracle I survived. I was in hospital for one week. My hand is haggard but I still use it. I'm a massage therapist and guitar player. That's inspiration to those I say never give up on your goals. My hand was spared as so was my life. Something came over me in that mountain that tranced me to walk through the fire. The second time was at another keg party. I was about the same age. Maybe 19 or 20. That time I was drinking but the same force took over me and again barefoot in shorts bare legs I walked through the high flames. I was never burned walking through fire but this second time my foot was cut by glass. Leaving bloody footprints everywhere and I didn't even know that until was told. I still don't know what came over me. I search internet but only find coal walking. I've asked around to magickians if they have ideas as to what came over me but they are not respond or same as I am not knowing as to why and how I was able to just walk through fire like I did.
loki is also associated with fire because of the myth of loki, thor and thialfi walking through jötunnheim, in which he has to face the fire and eat more food than the fire does :) that’s a great video. i’m very thankful and grateful to you for that! thank you!
Love your additions to your family. Two protectors and they are beautiful girls 🐱🐱 enjoy your videos
I found a kitten on my deck a couple of weeks ago that looks just like your darker kitty! I named her Freya!
Thanks once again for another interesting and informative video. Of course I always like it when your thoughts coincide with my own :D but there is so much more here I've yet to study and your refs make that much easier to do. Good luck with your new mischief makers ~ adorable little minxes.
I couldn't help but notice that although I can tell English is likely not your first language, you speak it better than I do. With more vigor. Props to you sir.
I am happy i always have a day off on wensday so i can always tune in on your channel/videos
Is it wise to spend part of your time off watching my videos? :P
Don't forget to have some time to enjoy nature :)
Ironic, today is my busy day
@@ArithHärger haha i have the luck of also working with plants, and seeingf a cycle of life. My work place is also surounded by woods
Its just currently too hot to go out here in the netherlands
I stopped getting recommended your videos for the past while and I’m so glad to be watching you again
Welcome back ;)
There is a story about loki competing aginst fire it sellf. In a eating competision i belive it was not sure.
Always enjoy and learn from your videos, and hope to be enriched by them for many years to come. Congrats on the kittens - we adopted 2 ourselves last month - Jack who's blind in one eye and May Belle, who has neurological problems from eating a salamander when a kitten. Her spatial sense is off a bit, and we have scratches from her missing her landing after jumping, but I give her reiki and hope she'll improve.
The similarity to Coyote in indigenous tradition is amazing. In the African Dogon tradition it corresponds to the Pale Fox who Laird Scarnaton in his Comparative Cosmology provided a lot of evidence is Light as well...defintely one of the strongest Archetypes around the world. 🥰
How can I like this video more than once? Asking for myself
Loki interacts with everyone, and pretty much everything, but not Freyr. That leads me to believe they are the same person, or aspects of the same entity
That's an interesting theory to me. The two gods I feel most closely drawn to are Loki and Freya and I was confused how the two went together in ancient times.
I think the story abut Loki and Lure was created to separate Loki from fire. Loki is suppose to be a representation of a satan/opposite of the "good" gods, but the household fire must have been important to people before electricity.
right on. thank yew. those north men sure do love their cats. have fun.
Since Loki seems to be a literary character, he has the characteristics of a court jester: able to say and do what he wants without repercussions from the king (Odin). He is used in literature as deus ex machina to tie things together when things do not make sense. The kittens are beautiful.
Ok, I just got to the part in video where you mention the court jester. I should have waited a bit longer.
I learned a lot. I think you're onto some good ideas here, I disagree with the extent of a few, but overall I am left having to process and reevaluate the possibilities of this and my existing data and experiences with spirits.
Also, point you could have made...
Loki has no places of worship because they are the fire from Prometheus... So the fire of home was the place of worship.
The being in the fire, acting for him, was his child of sorts, a child of smokeless fire... And such beings, magickal ones, are said to be able to manipulate candles to speak to witch's and such, so, if Loki was indeed upset and was using Magick to spank the fire spirit, it would cause potential effects in fire, especially if the fire spirit was also making fire change from its reactions to the discipline.
Actually, Loki was worshiped. This video is wrong. Dagulf Loptson explained it
If the land spirit of loke were fertility related then Loki being a companion of Thor would make sense. And if tied to fire it would explain Loki being tied to Surt. Edit: I should wait to the very end to comment. You addressed this lol.
The idea of Loki being a fire related entity makes me think he's a fire giant. And fire changes shape much like Loki.
No one does it better, great videos!
Years back, at a job I used to work at, we had a large pile of wood shavings/chips/dust that had caught fire and had been put out. But the fire would erupt of it's own accord at times, and I was tasked every night to ride herd on this thing. Over time, I discovered the fire had a personality of it's own (not particularly pleasant) and it was like it was talking to me, taunting me. Had a sense of humor. Kinda spooky stuff, seeing this Loki work you've put together really makes me feel like I know him and now know his name.
There is actually a place in Faroe Islands called Lokkafelli. And I have read that Sirius was called Lokabrenna, Loki's Torch.
In the book "Lost Star of Myth and Time" it is theorized that our Sun is in a binary system with the star Sirius. Interesting...
A facilidade com que explicas as coisas é incrivel. Se o meu antigo professor de história tivesses sido tu, acho que eu teria estado atento às aulas e sido bom aluno à disciplina! eheh continua amigo
Thanks, great seeing you smile
Very interesting video looking at Loki and just like him to be such a complex figure that you just can’t pin down. That being said I could imagine that people may have invoked Loki for situations where they needed cunning and wit or even just to mess someone up.
Very interesting video @Arith lots to think about and ponder!! Thank you so much for putting the bibliography at the end of the video its much appreciated!!! I hope its something you continue to do for you're other videos, even if it's just in the description box or on your website as its very helpful!! Take care!
I find it extremely interesting how you compare him with the christian devil, because (idk if you believe in deity work or not) but I was trying to start working with Lucifer when Loki came into my life. He pretended to be Lucifer, until after some research I could gather all the signs and discovered it was in fact Loki reaching out to me.
He even appeared in a dream as the Christian devil, and when I got startled, he hid behind a courtain, shape shifted into my sister and came out again, to avoid scaring me.
A lot of people see him to this day as an evil God, but the impact he's had in my life since I started working with him has been nothing but positive.
I just thought I should share... I appreciate all of your work greatly!!
@1:19:19 If you light a stick on fire and look close at the flame you will see that the flame does not touch the wood but sits on a pillow of aether and the heat from the flame chars the wood turning it black and to ash releasing it's aether it's life giving birth to heat of light life
❤️
@@lindamaemullins5151 Most don't believe that the stars and constellation speak but I'l show you something I left out about Loki and the eight legged horse I spoke of in an earlier comment of the constellations Equuleus the Foal and Pegasus the Flying Horse you will need an app that will play words backwards
REC: " Sir say Gift, Say Your Loki" in reverse you hear "Equuleus Pegasus"
Both are together in the sky as one and doing the same with Loki ki becomes Key and Lo becomes Loo or Lu meaning light meaning key to light or wisdom
Listen close some don't have the ears to hear sometimes you need to hear the word first to hear words I show you.
Im so glad you did this video, it was so full of information. That's a neat concept to dive into, does folklore influence myth or visa versa, and it opens up a whole slew of new questions. Thanks for the great video.
Wonderful information. Thank you for what you do
I just watched this very interesting and informative video so I am a “little late to the party”. I have a few theories about Loki that I would like to share:
1) perhaps there are no obvious signs of veneration or worship was because of fear. Up until very recent times other Norse pagans wouldn’t even allow the name Loki to be said/or mentioned in their presence. When you rely on community for survival it seems imperative not to become an outcast in anyway. Then with Christianity knocking down doors, the veneration/worship of a deity so very closely tied to Satan would definitely result in death. Better to keep things on a very private level in order to survive.
Hello dear Arith ..incredible your gone cat looks so much like our new tomcat Loki. Great topic today because our male new cat was named after my devine husband Shiva aka Loki. We didn't choose the names ourselves, but it was once again a gift of fate from Jesus aka Loki aka shiva.
Isn't it all wonderful. Your two little baby girls are very troll and I hope you enjoy being together as we are at the moment. Thanks for the new edition Arith - so fitting for me. Loki the unrecognized and yet greatest god that ever existed and will be. Namaste dear brother
Been following you for a while & watching as many videos as I can! Love them! Congrats on new kitties!
I don’t know if this was on purpose that you didn’t mention this but he is also mentioned as a giant in the written text

@1:12:51 The Eternal flame here's one from India a old temple believed to be 1000 years old the Jwaladevi temple dedicated to Goddess Jwala Ji known as Sati (SALTY) the term Jwala means flame in Sanskrit Some say there are nine flames for the nine Durgas, Durga is a goddess of war, Durga is also a fierce form of the protective mother goddess, who unleashes her divine wrath against the wicked for the liberation of the oppressed, and entails destruction to empower creation. Maha Durga has three forms and Maha Kali is her sheath her skin and her consort is Mahakala which means a point where darkness and time meet, can you hear macalla in mahakala and then there is the dog star canicula (puppy dog) Lugh's hound whelp his son Setanta meaning 70 the number of days she hides below the horizon before returning with the flood. Setanta be the Irish hero Cuhullin who died tied to a rock or did he but they saw a crow pluck out his eye.
