Georges Dumezil in his book “Loki” refers to Him as the ‘unquiet thought.”(11) That is the essence, in many respects (or part of it anyway) of Loki’s “medicine.” That is what He brings to the proverbial party; and that’s good. We need our paradigms shaken up now and again. Or torn up, shat on, and crushed underfoot. Loki does that. The one sure thing in maintaining a devotional practice to Loki is that He demands absolutely honesty with yourself and with Him. He will not allow His devotees to get by with what is comfortable, unchallenging, untrue. He takes the ancient Delphic maxim “Know thyself,” to extreme lengths, though necessary ones. He is one of those Gods mind-blowingly adept at ferreting out and cutting through our bullshit, even when we’re not aware of being mired in spiritual, emotional, and intellectual crap ourselves. He brings an often frightening clarity. He makes one unquiet: unquiet in our assumptions, in our blindnesses, our prejudices, our preconceptions. He challenges it all. One thing Loki does not abide is stagnation.
