Month for Loki day 10 - Toys for Tots... or something like that.

A few days ago I was thinking of what I could get for Narvi and Vali to put on my altar. All I could think about was toy cars. Interestingly enough, when I thought about the toy cars for Them I didn't think about them being on my altar. I thought about the cars being in the dirt beneath Laufey's branches. A bit like children playing at their Grandmothers feet.

I decided to wait on getting Them something until I was 100% positive that what I was getting was right.

Yesterday I posted that I need to walk my talk. I need to be the devotee I keep promising Loki I will be. I need to be the person I keep promising to myself as well.

Well, today I was in the grocery store and as my husband and I were checking out I noticed two Hot Wheels cars on the end cap where the gum is displayed. When I say two cars, I mean just that. Two cars. No more, no less. One car was two different shades of blue with what are probably supposed to be flames but I think look like waves. The other was a green pickup truck with a bit of "woodland" camouflage on the sides. A bit fitting if you think about it...

I bought the trucks and brought them home. Right now they are sitting on my altar directly in front of Sigyn's ring, Loki's wood cutting and a small bit of brown pine needles that came off of the pine tree I refer to as Laufey.

Truth be told, I spent a bit of time this morning debating whether or not to hold the bowl for Sigyn today. I had a feeling that it should wait for another day.

I am glad I waited. I feel like the toys for Narvi and Vali are a wonderful thing. Not only are the cars for Them, the cars also show respect and honor to Sigyn and Loki as well.

This is a step in the right direction for me.

Here is a prayer for Narvi and Vali. I would just copy and paste it here, but it is not mine to repost.

Hail Loki.
Hail Sigyn.
Hail Laufey.
Hail Narvi.
Hail Vali.

Hail to the family of the Father of My Heart.

Month for Loki day 6 - Hail Laufey

I bought a tree at the Union Square Farmers Market here in NYC for Yule. I picked a small potted tree to keep on my altar and not long after I put Her there I started calling Her Laufey.

Not surprisingly the more I attempted to follow Loki's instructions and fix my familial relationships, the more His family started to make themselves known to me. 

I am not sure what it is that I need to do for Laufey besides tend the small pine tree that bears Her name. 

My husband and I just re-potted Her and She is now sitting in our living room window, which gets a great deal of morning sun each day. 

Here She is, in Her new pot: 

There is a lot of room in Her new pot, which is a good thing because now Her roots can spread and She can flourish. 

When I think of Laufey, Sigyn, Angrboda, or any of His children the expression "love me, love my family" comes to mind. 

I owe His children, Angrboda and Sigyn all a bit of attention but today/tonight was about showing Him my devotion by taking care of the physical representation of His mother that resides in my home. 

Hail Laufey, mother of Loki. 

May you always feel welcomed in my home.
