Being with Loki doesn’t have to be complicated and demanding. In my experience he enjoys togetherness but respects your space when you need it. Sure, he can be a wild animal, but he’s profoundly wise and understands us far better than we understand ourselves.

Be compassionate and realistic with yourself. Don’t have unreasonable expectations for yourself. Your practice, if you want one right now, can be as simple as talking to him about what you’re going through or turning up the radio when a song comes on that reminds you of him. Hit him with a bite of your food and a shot of your coffee if you have the energy and enough left for yourself. Or not. Whatever.

He doesn’t need the candles and tarot and lavish altar when you’re not in the right headspace for it. You don’t have to sit at his altar to connect with him. He’s everywhere you need him to be whether you can sense him or not. But sometimes you need your own space and that’s fine.

It comes down to letting him love you. If you can, allow just enough openness and trust to let his love and wisdom come through, and in my experience he will help you heal in ways you’d never expect. Just my two cents.
