Consuming Flame: A Devotional Anthology for Loki and His Family

She breaks down the ideas into palatable parts. Her logic is unassailable. Another great book!

Interesting read for beginners who are curious and want an understanding of what it means to be devoted to a controversial God. In response to one reviewer who misunderstood the devotional of Loki's family...the rest of the family must also be considered for a balanced and personal understanding of the God Loki. In other words you can't know one without the other. Personal interactions from the author with the Gods are mentioned, although lightly covered, are fascinating and interesting to chew on mentally. I'd check it out if you're curious, yes quite a lot is mentioned about Sigyn but again it's an interesting place to start and well worth the read.

It came quickly, and provided me a lot more than I expected. Great condition. I couldn't be happier.

It is a very great book !

Though at this point I've read a number of the essays contained or am otherwise familiar with the information presented, I still enjoyed reading this book. It was a good refresher, and the information is pretty accessible.There is, unsurprisingly, some anger in this book. The anger I would say is quite warranted, as the attitude toward Loki and His family in Asatru and other Heathen/Northern Pagan circles is often enough so antagonistic that their people are either deliberately or implicitly excluded. It is for this reason that I've always remained at the fringes of the pagan community, not overly involved and often quiet about where I come from spiritually. There's little to no historical evidence in which to ground this animosity and it is quite frustrating, so I understand the anger. It doesn't seem misplaced and certainly anger is a theme through the myths so in that way seems appropriate. Nonetheless it made me a little uncomfortable, as such reciprocal anger can only perpetuate itself.Regardless, this devotional seems a worthy offering to Loki, Sigyn, and their sons. And certainly it is a good read for their devotees.

In many ways this is a great book. Much of the material provided is beautiful and moving and would provide good resources for someone who already has a personal relationship with these gods or inspire someone who does not to want to develop one. Readers should be aware that this comes with a heavy does of the author's personal philosophy of guilt, shame, and never being good enough, which can be off putting-especially for someone like yours truly who has depression. However, if you can tune out the above, many of the prayers and devotions themselves are top quality.My main issue is that the description of the book is inaccurate as it claims the book contains a "significant portion of new material venerating Loki, Sigyn, Angurboda, and Their Children." The book is two thirds about Sigyn, one third about Loki, and has a few brief entries about their two sons. There is zero material in this book about Angurboda, Fenris, Jormengond, or Hela, which is very disappointing as most of these deities lack any published devotional material that I am aware of and thus I was looking forward to it especially. As stated above, the material on Loki and Sigyn is fabulous and the book is worth the buy for it alone but the description is misleading. But then, what do you expect in a book about Loki...?

I didnt like it at all.. I expected it to be more like stories about Loki and his family instead I got worshsip , inrelevant staff , even cooking receipes ...it was bad choice

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it's great to have a devotional. On the other hand, the book was actually closer to a SIGYN devotional than one for Loki.
