The image above is actually a remake of a "Lokean Problems" meme I saw on Tumblr about a year and a half ago. Sadly, the blog that updated the meme is gone. The picture really does explain a lot in regards to my personal path.
You seen, I am not only a Lokean, I am also a devotee of the Goddess Brigid. Between the two of them, my affinity with fire is fairly obvious...
I know that this month is really supposed to be dedicated to Loki and I love that this is a time set aside just for Him but I have two cill shifts for Brigid this month. There has to be a big of balance somewhere...
I have had to deal with the balance between the two of Them before. Not long ago I was contemplating moving Brigid off of my main altar to a smaller altar in my bedroom and giving the main altar to Loki.
He never asked to have an altar of His own. He actually said a few different times that He was fine with His spot on the main altar. I ignored Him. I also ignored Brigid when She said that She was not willing to move off of the main altar and into my bedroom.
I ignored Her to the point that She lit me on fire.
Twice.
When I thought about why She lit me on fire I got a bit of a nudge from Loki and They both made it clear to me that while I kept saying that I wanted to do more for Them, I didn't listen to a damn thing that either of Them said to me.
I have a feeling that between the two of Them I will be learning a lot this year. Specifically about when to listen and when to act. Something I am not ashamed to admit, that I really need to work on.
So tonight, this entry is for Loki and Brigid. Just like my altar and my devotion.
Hail Brigid, Flaming Arrow.
Hail Loki, Fire Bearer.
I adore your Brigid, Quick of Mind.
I adore you Loki, Sliver Tongue.
Hail Brigid, Mother and Goddess my heart.
Hail Loki, Father and God my heart.
Hail to the Mistress and Master of my hearts flame.
May your fires burn bright in me, that I might be a light for both of you in this world.
