Mischief-maker, shapeshifter, father to monsters ... and the god a lot of Heathen books still won't talk about honestly.
Lee's guide takes Loki Laufeyjarson seriously as a deity rather than a problem, covering his origins, personality, significance, powers, and associations in a hardcover built to be looked at as much as read. The major tales are all here: the birth of Sleipnir, the theft of Thor's hammer, the death of Balder, and Ragnarök. Lee follows him past the medieval sources too, tracing how Loki became a global icon in modern times (useful context for anyone whose first encounter with him came through a screen rather than a saga).
The devotional material is what sets this apart from a mythology primer. Lee is a practicing Norse Heathen who runs Skald's Keep and has been in the pagan and Heathen community since 2017, and he gives concrete guidance on venerating Loki and bringing him into an active practice. For Lokeans who've spent years assembling that from forum posts and scattered blogs, having it in print is important.
Illustrated throughout by The Saxon Storyteller. Works as a standalone or as part of Lee's Norse Gods and Goddesses series alongside Odin, Thor, and Freyja.
Good for newcomers, good for the Loki-curious, and quietly validating for practitioners used to being told their god doesn't count.
