ehh, you have to put them in order

like you see those 3 pyramid shaped ones?, those are dancers and people would go crazy when they were represented in the hain (ritual)

the one with the stripes, kotaix is like a 'bad guy who came from the sky' when he comes on the hain people have to stay still and if he whacks you on the head then you have to fall dead (remember they were nude and in the fucking snow) for hours until the ritual was done

theres a lot of similarities with masonic rituals

What about that pyramidhead thing from silent hill?

>no one said these are benevolent beings
remember that loki did whatever he wanted to do, even cuckolding (being an impostor) other gods

this partly why i do not worship jester deities actively, youre literally playing with fire here. there is no cultic evidence for the worship of loki anywhere in the germanic world; only some vague references in some spells, and some artifacts that appear to depict him. and all of these depictions show him with a sewn mouth, or restrained in chains beneath the earth, often with another deity standing above him. reminiscent of how egyptians depicted apep in their artwork; it was forbidden to make any depictions of him without a god standing above him, to neutralize any chaotic energy he might manifest. you can see the same artistic tradition in catholic and orthodox art; you never see them depicting demons without an angel or saint standing above them to neutralize any power that depiction might have.

Tried to check out any Germanic communities that have formed online and the flood of fucking retards that worship the incarnation of divine chaos that Loki is is fucking disgusting. Absolute retards play with fire and will get burnt. Said it better than I ever could anon, our ancestors knew not to fuck with that and when they did they bound it. Now you’ve got a retard 16 y/o mutt watching marvel and inciting misery into their families home.

yes unfortunately modern germanic paganism is heavily tainted with fools and charlatans, even the ones who dont worship loki often know too little. its not a very widely studied field of mythology, more than most but not as much as it deserves. theres an extreme imbalance with the ratio of 'people interested in the myths from comic books and video games' and 'people who actually professionally study the myths and artifacts'

never found that post but someone in the thread summed up essentially the point it made. 
basically the native american clown shamans used their humor to illustrate what NOT to do in life, much of their humor revolved around juxtaposition or unfitting pairings. things like washing yourself off in dust and drying yourself off in water; riding to war backwards on a horse and throwing flowers like they were spears, riding to peace meetings adorned with weapons and asking everyone where the fighting is, things like that. they essentially serve as anti-shamans, negative role models showing the tribe how NOT to behave in life, what NOT to do in certain situations. 

in the same way, loki fulfilled this function in norse mythology by acting as a sort of anti-god, a negative example of how to behave. the other gods have their flaws and make mistakes, but always with good intentions. loki however has purely negative or selfish intentions in almost everything he does, he brings chaos to order and dissolves tribal loyalty into infighting. every value that the norse upheld is inverted and perverted by loki; lying, sneaking, cheating, sodomy, disrupting work, being a nuisance, harassing women, and every time loki messes up he is required by the gods to fix the consequences. whereas a true god is an ideal to live up to, a living incarnation of honor, wisdom or strength, loki is the living incarnation of how not to behave in life, and the myths illustrated this fact using humor much like the heyoka.
