A Month for Loki
Plenty of people here on tumblr should check out the link to Galina’s post of making July dedicated to Loki. Feel free to check ot out and join in with your own offerings and devotionals. It would also be a great time to share a scholarly piece or art.
It takes only the acceptance of a single belief to make someone a magician. It is the meta-belief that belief is a tool for achieving effects. This effect is often far asier to observe in others than in oneself.

Those ghosts from Super Mario were a bit like the Weeping Angels from Dr. Who. If you look at them, they stop. If you turn your back on them, they get you.
Don’t blink.
Talismanic Image (Demon), Magic Scroll, Tigray, Ethiopia, 2009
An image of a demon stares out from the first panel of a magical
(prayer) scroll. The image of the demon has inherent magical
significance, but it also is meant to show attacking demons their own
visage, and thus to scare them. A useful introduction is Jacques
Mercier’s ‘Ethiopian Magic Scrolls,’ which presents a variety of
images with commentary.
