I have just read three articles on Loki written by the Odinic Rite.

Holy gods.

I could spit fire right now.

Alright, this isn’t really an epiphany, more like a sudden, overwhelming feeling of shock, sadness and disbelief. (But I wasn’t too keen on the E topics suggested this week, so epiphany it is…)

Sigyn tricked by a false illusion? Loki’s monstrous children?

I am just…

(This isn’t even really a proper post made up of proper sentences. I just needed to vent my feelings. Apologies to anyone who was hoping for a much more meaningful post today…)

I am so angry and furious and gods, I don’t even know.

Loki asked me in a somewhat wary tone why I even bothered to read them.

I guess I wanted to see their views. I mean, it helps to consider both sides, right?

I’m usually excellent at balancing arguments, but with the OR, their opinions don’t even make sense to me. They make Sigyn out to be a woman blinded by a (and I quote) “false illusion”. Sure, Loki is a trickster, but to fool His own beloved wife? Really? He loves Her so much, I cannot help but know that He’d never do such a thing. They have a true, balanced relationship, a strong, wonderful bond, and Their devotion to each other is inspiring.

Hel, Jormungandr, Fen and Sleipnir aren’t even my own, and only one of Them I know personally, but I take offence to the idea of Them being “monstrous”. That is such a harsh, unforgiving word, and I would never label anyone, deific or mortal, such a thing. Children are beautiful creatures. And despite the fact that They are much older than I, I felt very protective of Them when I read that particular part.

Ugh. I just want to rage.
