Happy Loki Day!!
About the importance of being called Loki.
We know that the pillars of the Nordic beliefs are the Order and the Chaos, they taught us that their history is built on this idea but what they did not teach us was the important one of Loki in this affirmation.
Order and Chaos, as premises for the Universe to work, not with the Christian conception of good and evil, Chaos as the necessary counterpoint for change to generate evolution, absolutely positive and natural.
Evolution depends on Chaos, stars are formed because of Chaos, everything happens and even so Loki, the God of Chaos, is relegated of all stories.
Loki is not even considered a God for some, not an Aesir, he is being the pillar on which the Universe rests.
If we do not understand this, we have not understood anything.
Someone distorted the stories because he knew that a Christian look would take care of the rest.
Loki is the opposite of order, not good and thanks to him the Universe keeps turning.
But they did not tell us that.

Happy Loki Day!!
Loki’s Day
Each day of the seven day week held a special significance to a god. Sunday was the day sacred to the Sun, Monday the Moon, Tuesday Tyr, Wednesday Odin, Thursday Thor, Friday Frigga, and Saturday Loki.
The name of each day sounds fairly similar to its corresponding god, with the exception of Saturday, which is often mistakenly assumed to be named for the Roman god Saturn.
Saturday, the final day of the week, was originally known as Laugardag (formed from Loki’s name, but it translates to wash-day).
When adapted to English, the day did in fact maintain its connection to Loki. The word Saturday is based on Sataere (the thief in ambush).
This is simply another one of Loki’s names, used when referring to Loki as a god of agriculture (each of the gods presided over several different aspects of the universe, and Loki was no exception).
So, although few know of it, the final day of the week is still named for Loki.
Incidentally, I’ve seen a lot of campaigns online prompting people to begin calling Saturday “Lokisday”. Most people have no idea Saturday is named after Loki, so Loki’s significance to the day is forgotten.
This campaign to call Saturday Lokisday seeks to reinforce Loki’s connection to the day. This is an interesting idea, and I will definitely attempt to use Lokisday as often as I can remember.
