Tarot & Queer Deities

Welcome back to Everyday Tarot! Season 16 is devoted to queer deities, and today, we turn to Loki—the shapeshifting trickster god of Norse mythology.

What we explore in this episode:

• The myth of Loki

• Loki as a queer deity

Loki is a master of change and contradiction—sometimes a helper to the gods, other times their greatest disruptor. Loki births both chaos and creation, giving life to the eight-legged horse Sleipnir after transforming into a mare. Their children include Hel, Fenrir, and Jörmungandr—each symbolizing endings, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of destruction and renewal.

Loki as a Queer Deity

Loki is a gender-fluid god who embodies both masculine and feminine energies and experiences both roles fully. Loki embodies queerness through shapeshifting and gender fluidity, defying every binary—god and monster, mother and father, destroyer and creator. Through Loki, we see that rebellion, chaos, and humor can all be forms of divine creativity.

Loki & Tarot

Loki’s energy weaves through tarot’s most transformative cards—each reflecting their chaos, creativity, and fluidity.

• The Tower - Sudden change, disruption, and the power of necessary destruction

• The Fool - Playful risk, curiosity, and stepping boldly into the unknown

• The Magician - Transformation through intention, wit, and limitless potential

💭 Today's Tarot Pull:

From Norse Goddess Rune Oracle by Rebecca Joy Stark and illustrated by Sharon McLeod, I pulled the Rán Overwhelm, Loss of Control, Confusion

This reminds us that even in the midst of chaos, stillness is possible. It calls us to release control, to stop swimming against the current, and to find stability within ourselves. 

Reflective prompts on this card:

• Where am I creating chaos instead of finding calm?

• What boundaries protect my energy during emotional overwhelm?

• How can I honor my own transformation without losing myself in it?
