Loki was a God of the Norse Mythology pantheon and the Archetype of the Trickster. He was a devious deity known for his deceptions and schemes.

Though Loki’s entrance into Norse mythology came later than most, his origins remained difficult to discern. In the oldest poetic works, such as the Grímnismál (which had fragments even going back to the eighth century), Loki was conspicuously absent. In non-Norse sources of pre-Christian Germanic religion, Loki was once again either absent or presented in a very different way. Such evidence suggested that Loki was a deity unique to the Northern European, or Scandinavian, people.

A member of the Aesir tribe of deities, Loki—along with Odin, Thor, and Freya—constituted one of the four ruling deities of Norse thought. Though his mythology consistently overlapped with those of his divine counterparts, Loki differed from them in important ways. Where Thor, Freya, and even Odin strove to impose a righteous order amongst the gods, Loki’s erratic behavior called the very nature of his allegiances into question. For example, it was predicted that during Ragnarök Loki would fight on the side of the jötnar against the gods.

The Trickster was mostly represented by certain animals like the hare, raven, or snake. As we can see these animals are very quick and sneaky, so no wonder humankind projected one of their attributes to them. He is also a psychic embodiment of the spontaneous and creative ability that alters the established systems which we get so used to. As we see from the example of Loki, he was the son of a giant and we can see the origins of his chaotic qualities.
