I wish to add more information to this page regarding Loki's children. There are a few missing from the list (the child he gave birth to after eating a witch's heart, and the half-mortal children she bore as a milkmaid, as referenced by Odin in Lokkesenna). I also wish to add some information regarding possible theological domains of Loki, possibly add some context around the possible etymological origins of his name.

Header image

The header image is a poor option imo. I think it should be the depiction on the Gosforth Cross, as it is a period depiction and more ambiguous. It also shows elements more important to Loki's lore than the current image. Blockhaj (talk) 18:18, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
