In the Norse pantheon,
Loki is a popular god. Hes the wizard, the god of mischief
and deception. Fascinating not only because of his cunning, he is
also a character of substance. As time went on, Lokis mischief
became increasingly malevolent when this wily god transformed into
a murderer.
In this panel Loki is
depicted as a raven, the trickster in Northwest Coast native cultures.
His body is in "chip carving," a style found in Viking
sculpture and jewelry. Around Lokis neck is Jormundgand, one
of his monstrous offspring, the wolf, Fenir and his daughter, Hel.
