The worship of Loki

Evidence of Loki’s Worship?One of the most pervasive (and unfounded) arguments against Loki’s worship in American Heathenry,

is that we have no physical or written evidence to suggest he was ever worshipped in the past.

This has often been used as “proof” that he was reviled in Scandinavia, since he was seemingly so hated that nobody would want to worship Loki or name anything after him. However, there is a similar lack of evidence for the worship of Heimdallr, Sif, and many more of the Norse deities.

That there maybe evidence for Loki’s worship in Germany has been suggested by the discovery of the Nordendorf fibula

(a gilded silver brooch found in Nordendorf Germany that dates to the beginning of the 7thcentury).
