Clicking the candles lead you to find a Pagan Page!
This page is all about Paganism, Norse, to be more specific. Norse Paganism is pretty much what the Vikings believed in, back when they were around, raiding lands and sailing longboats. After the Vikings 'died' out, a more modern form of Paganism erupted from then to the present time now. This version of Paganism is scattered over the world, in many different countries. It's also a generally much more tame version of the Old Norse ways.
I, myself, am Pagan... More specifically, I identify with Rokka, which means I follow monsters of Norse Legend, such as Skoll, Hati, Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel. I'm primarily Lokean though, following Loki and Sleipnir. I've been following Loki for about a year now, and I have a whole shrine and altar set up for him. So I thought, what if I develop a little shrine online aswell for Loki? I think personally he'd appreciate the creativity.
Many people I talk to mention that they believe Loki would be an evil God, and that he's bad, comparing him to Satan. I personally think thats a crude misconception, judging a book by it's cover. Loki is a firey God, Lord of monsters, stories, trickery, mischief and burden. He's a creative and cunning soul, and encourages one to be unique and unapologetic. I love offering him poems i wrote and artworks I drew.. I even painted him a lit candle once, (since he IS the God of Fire)...
I think Marvel has led many people to believe that Loki is some dark haired Tom Hiddleson looking guy with the ability to clone himself and turn blue... when in true legend... Loki is a red-headed goblin. Well, not a goblin.. but a very naughty God. In many depictions, he's thin and sunken, with bright green eyes and long red flaming locks of hair. He often actually wears dresses, believe it or not, in many modern depictions. Not a test against gender steryotypes... Just unique.
