Change means birth, life, sudden joy, as well as death, illness, and destruction. Without change, life becomes death, movement is frozen into immobility, joy turns complacent. Loki is the god of change. He is the unpredictable one, ever-changing, ever-shimmering, the joker in the pack. He is the god of laughter, and the god of miracles. He is wildfire, and beauty; he is also danger and destruction from which - always - new life will emerge. He is the god of hope. In seemingly desperate situations, when we see no way out, it is Loki we seek, whether we know it or not. It is Loki who will shift the situation and change it so that a solution pops out from the new situation like a seed from a pod. Without Loki, the gods are static, frozen into immobility. Their ways become set. Try to imagine the gods= life without Loki. Omit him from all the stories. Watch these stories shrivel and lose life.
Enjoy this windy connection of Loki and his spark of change.
