Loki – The Trickster Redeemed?

For a long time, Loki, the Trickster of Norse mythology, has been demonized as a figure of evil. But is he really so? Many mythologies speak about beings that are neither good, nor evil, entities of neutrality or mythological figures meant to maintain the balance of the Universe. This article explains how Loki could be exactly one such entity.

Some legends speak about an entity known as Dormammu which is the personification of the battlefield where good and evil face each other. Should one side gain too much of an advantage over the other, then Dormammu intervenes by re-establishing the balance. In this way, the universal balance is unchanged and the Universe itself continues to exist.
