Download or read book Loki S Children written by Steven Olafson and published by Author House. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 1415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lokis Children is the tale of the Norse gods and goddesses and a satirical critique of the Abrahamic religions. It begins with the life of Odin, chieftain of the Aesir, and follows him on his quest to liberate mankind from the tyrannical grip of the first race of frost giants and their ruler, the mad Ymir. While Odin seeks to build a new world from the bones and blood of the old, the mysterious figure of Loki inveigles his way into the tribe of gods. Through the narrative, Loki and his three monstrous children come to symbolize the Abrahamic religions and their impact on the native belief systems that existed in Northern Europe prior to the advent of Christianity. Loki works tirelessly in the shadows to unseat the Aesir from their achievements and to throw the pantheon of gods into war and disarray with the ultimate goal of restoring humanity to a state where there is but one ruler: himself. Only the wisdom and courage of Odins sons, together with the goddess Freya and her tribe, can stand in Lokis way, but are the gods themselves more powerful than fate?

Download or read book Loki s Children written by Nicholas E Brink and published by . This book was released on 2022-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two tools of psychotherapy to access the unconscious mind are clinical hypnosis and dreamwork. Recently added to these tools is ecstatic trance as used by the hunting and gathering shamans, both ancient and contemporary, ways that open the doors to the hidden stories or narratives that need to be faced for healing the emotional struggles of life. Many of the myths that came from the collective dreams and trance experiences of the ancients are healing stories. One, the Nordic myth of Loki's Children, provides direction in the healing process for many of life's problems, the map for the healing journeys of three clients using their narratives from dreams, hypnosis, and ecstatic trance. The three children sired by the trickster god are dangerous monsters that threaten the Nordic pantheon of deities: Jormungand, a poison-spitting serpent, is thrown into the sea where it grows to encircle the earth to hold its tail in its mouth. The second child, Hel, whose body is half rotten with decay is thrown into the underworld where she suffers with remorse for the guilt of those who died dishonorably. The third child, Fenrir, a wolf of tremendous size who continually grows, is our obsessive thoughts and worries. This map of the psychotherapeutic journey to overcome this fear, guilt, and obsessive worry takes us into the unconscious mind and beyond into the universal mind, the world of the spirits for healing and personal growth. Each client finds the way to overcome these monsters to find innocence with the rebirth of Odin's beloved son Baldr.

To make matters worse, Loki has to put up with an eleven-year-old Thor tagging along and making him look bad. Loki is not even allowed to use his awesome godly powers! As Loki suffers the misery of school lunch, discovers the magic of internet videos, and keeps watch for frost giant spies, will he finally learn to tell good from bad, trust from tricks, and friends from enemies?
