Really makes you think.

Except that everyone in saga agrees that what Loki did was shameful and disgusting and unmanly. That really spiteful exchange in the Lokasenna has Odin harping on how he was a woman and bore children like a woman, when they're all airing out each other's dirty laundry.

About my new sexual fetish.

And Loki brings that up too, as well as an incident of being a milkmaid, although the latter seems to refer to a poem or saga that we no longer have with us.

But that's one of the reasons Thor was the more popular deity with the common man than Odin was. His magical usage and some of his actions were definitely considered unmanly.

The thing is Norse paganism is not an abrahamic religion. These texts aren't canonical and binding o the faith. Only the gods, which are really archetypes, are canonical, as it were. The rest is poetic invention which is up to the imagination of individual poets and the culture of the time. So one poet thought that semen was the essence of male virility, and Odin, being a virile God, absorbed their virile potency by symbolically drinking the semen. It certainly didn't have the same connotation as it has in our own time and culture. The same goes for Loki or any God doing weird shit. Nobody is obliged by faith to acknowledge these stories literally happened.

Not to mention gods being some kinda shameful chavs, wanting to get out of paying and go back on a deal they made.

>in danger of depleting his semen
Wat? Why didn't his body produce new semen?

Because it's just a myth.

Saving these memes for the next paganigger thread lads

This is not Loki, this is some chick from Avatar, which for some reason grew horns. Fake and agy.

It was Loki who made the deal on their behalf even though it was fucking garbage. Imagine your annoying friend promising someone you'd pay a painter $3000, give them your car, and let them have a go with your wife if they paint your house and when you get back home he's already halfway done.

Not him, and I don't have my copy of the Elder Edda with me, but I thought the Aeisr thought it was a good deal.
