Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast S2E15: Lokasenna - Loki's Quarrel (Part 1)
Oct 10, 2022
57:28
David and Shawn return from break and continue the series on Loki: the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems. Loki is in rare form and decides to provoke a fight while the Gods are having a party at Aegir’s hall. Loki roasts the gods one by one, as they make weak attempts to clap back at him.
We discuss Stanzas 1 through 29, breaking where Loki reveals to Frigg that he was responsible for the death of Baldur. Loki calls the gods out for their hypocrisy. Shawn and David discuss the relationship between Loki and Odin, and how your oath, your word, or your virtue can be used against you.
