Loki

the shape that will not hold

fire

Loki is the flaw that moves the story forward, blood-brother to Odin and father of monsters; to dream of him is to meet the part of yourself that refuses every fixed shape.

Fragments

He births a wolf, a serpent, and a girl half-alive, and mothers a horse besides; no border of kind or loyalty holds him for long.

Every door he opens is the wrong one — and yet without his mischief the gods would never have won half their treasures.
