Gremlin Gods

Welcome traveler... to Gremlin Gods. A devotional podcast rooted in the “Lokean Way” — Lokastígur — inviting interfaith, intersectionality, queer discourse and the veneration of all things “dark” deity.

Today we entertain the very question that drives the heart of this project: "What does dark deity mean to you?"

Ruler of Helheim. Steward of Souls. Daughter of Loki. Too long has the world unfairly slighted this oft demonized Goddess of Death. Besides… all pantheons have one, don’t they? So what makes Hel so “fearsome” to the rest?  

Join Birdie, Sara and guest host Jude in this month’s episode, continuing our series on Loki’s misunderstood yet colorful family. Listen in with an open heart and put your mind at ease as we explore, with excellent guidance, the nuances of deathwork and the role of the psychopomp within the modern funeral industry.  

(CW: discussion of death, death anxiety, crisis, religious trauma)

It happens to the best of us. One moment you’re treading down the spiritual pathway supported by the solace of your guides. The next? Something funky pokes through the veil. Insistent, resistant and rude. That *can’t* be Loki now… Can it?

In this month’s episode, we join River, Sara and Birdie in their discussion on imposter spirits. What are these malevolent beings, really? When do they show up in our practice? And how can we keep these negative energies at bay?

Take heart, grab the black salt for good measure, and listen in on our mystical gang’s latest How-To Guide.
