Helping with: He can help with the fire element, protection and battle magic. He can help with glamours and tricks, setting traps and changing your mind. He can assist with shapeshifting and learning about Nordic runes.

Other known aspects: none that I am aware of

Often used form: Humanoid form, mythology claims also he had changed his forms quite often - usually to play his tricks upon the others, but also to protect others. He can also change his gender.

I also met one of his angelic forms, though I didn't work with it.

Physical appearance: For me, he had several forms - including monkey and bat ones, which followed me when he wanted my attention. But in the humanoid form, he was a young adult male, with little longer black hair and a huge hat. he held cards in his hands covering half of his face.

Every card had another sigil painted on it.

Personality: He seems to be very playful and friendly. Usually, he appears and starts to whisper into my ears while moving all around my room constantly. His whispers are soft and barely heard, but he usually took my rune set and left me the ones I have to use on the altar before vanishing.

He seems to be a very enjoyable male, but also very protective.

Personal notes:

From the few times, I actually summoned him I never regret it. Though he enjoys playing tricks, he's very skilled with shields and traps and battle magic - and that was exactly something I needed back then. Even if what he claims was a shield, turned out to be a very skilled trap .. that still worked. All incantations and information he gives should be taken with a bit of distrust, though he is doing everything what he thinks is best for you. Depending on what is your question - he will answer, but usually give you a riddle. Personally, I wasn't working with him that much, only for specific times related to runes and battle magic. And yes he is very skilled with runes, as he is one of the Norse Gods. He appears alone, answers what he wants and enjoys the time spent with humans. He also has angelic, light form - which he doesn't seem to reveal often, but he has very strong energy and vibrations. Even if mythology claims for him to be a very tricky being, and shows his negative side, there are many less popular myths that show him as a protector of the people in need. Where other Gods fails with protection, Loki wins because of his tricks. Playing, changing forms not only his but also others, and thinking about things before they happen and doing fast decisions - that usually would help him win whatever he needs or wants. And he is very skilful to receive it.
