Loki, the Trickster, has long been identified with the image of evil in Norse mythology. However, are things really so? Mythologies around the world speak of beings or entities of neither good, nor evil, beings who are beyond both good and evil and who cannot be characterized by a good-evil framework. These are the great entities of neutrality and of absolute power from the legends of old. What if Loki himself is indeed such an entity, the neutral character of Norse mythology who can do both good as well as evil, but who cannot be identified with either side?The present book tries to elucidate the mystery of Loki in a way in which it has never been discussed before. The Trickster remains in the grey space between black and white, doing both good as well as evil, while remaining beyond any division. The book also offers a guide to the ancient runes and their great secrets from their origin to their meaning and symbolism.
