Loki and Odin: Old Gods Repurposed by Neil Gaiman, A. S. Byatt, and Klas Östergren
Norse Gods are repurposed by contemporary authors in different modes than those used for classical, Egyptian, African, and Native American gods. Whereas those others mostly lend a trace of heroic glamor or even help the characters in the novels, Odin and Loki are used to darker ends. Their connection to Ragnarok—Odin through knowing of its coming, and Loki for bringing it about—gives them more threatening roles. Gaiman, Byatt, and Östergren all locate their novels’ action in a situation of apparently waning power and threatening doom, and make connections between those two figures and our behaviors, ecological, political, and personal.

Doctor Strange by Donny Cates. Vol. 1, God of magic
\"Evil is everywhere and the world needs the Sorcerer Supreme more than ever. But the Sorcerer Supreme is now--Loki? Say hello to the Master of the Mischief Arts. The Norse lord of lies has the cloak, the spells--he's even got Zelma Stanton as his assistant (and possibly more?). Is this the chance that Loki needed to become a hero at last, or is the god of mischief dangerously close to unlimited power?\"--Amazon.com.

Recovering the \Snorra Edda\: On Playing Gods, Loki, and the Importance of History
By connecting a historical approach with the insights provided by mimetic theory, I intend to defend an author, Snorri Sturluson, who, I think, is greatly underestimated in Girard's interpretation of the Baldr-story (Girard does not even mention the author's name) and to recover the most profound hermeneutical value of his Edda, which has not yet been detected by historians. The interpretation of the murder as given in the story itself does not convince him at all-the rationally reasoned innocence of the group of gods who throw things at Baldr simply for fun, thinking it will not harm him, as well as the claimed blindness of the actual murderer, Hödr, are in Girard's eyes only signs of a morally advanced mythological society trying to cope with the fact that their fundamental myths are stories of vicious gods killing an innocent victim.\\n32 However, the teaching of the Church has always stated very clearly that in the end, it was a collective gathering, even a gathering including the disciples, against Jesus that actually led to his Passion.

The Mighty Thor and His Magical Mjolnir
\"Norse mythology originated in Northern Europe in an area called Scandinavia, which includes countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Norse mythology embraces many gods and goddesses who were worshiped by the pagan people of the region.
