Creature Of The Night

How do i worship Hel, Fenris, and Jormangund, and will Loki mind if i do?

As you’re probably aware, those are Loki’s own children. Because of a prophecy that they’d bring destruction, the Aesir banished them in various ways. Hel was sent to rule the realm that bears her name, Fenris Ulfr was bound, and Jormungandr was thrown in the ocean. However, they seem to be on good terms with Loki himself. Or, at least, Lokasenna implies that Loki misses the Wolf, and Hel lends her dad her sweet boat and army of dead guys at Ragnarok.

In other words, there shouldn’t be any issue with worshiping Loki’s children on its own. Loki might try to steer you away from them as an individual if he thinks you won’t get along, he wants you to focus on him for now, or he doesn’t think you’re ready for the lessons they have to teach, but ultimately, it’s your decision.

Your worship of Loki’s children doesn’t necessarily have to look any different than your worship for Loki on the surface. Food and drink offerings, along with prayer, are pretty standard throughout the pantheon. But if you’re looking for ideas specifically:

For Hel:

For the Wolf:

For Jormungandr:

For more ideas and personal experiences, you’ll probably want to hunt down some devotees of those deities. Here’s a list, on the off chance you missed it.
