Question originally asked on the UK Pagan forum.
If, as Loki says in the Lokasenna, Odin has said he will refuse any ale not also served to Loki, is that part of the reason why Odin is said to drink wine? I.E. To avoid having to share the offering with Loki?
Or is there something more to it?
Just a thought.
Answers on a postcard, please! (Or maybe the comments section on this site would be easier?)
Pagan-Heathen blog centering on UK-based heathenry but also covering wider pagan issues and paths. The site's remit has now been broadened to cover European pre-Christian history and associated spirituality (historic and reconstructed). First and foremost, though, it is a journal of my journey along my pagan path which is gradually evolving toward an animist perspective. The aim is to promote a positive society inspired by the pre-Christian and non-capitalist cultures of the past.
