Jean I. Young. Of course, I m utterly serious here. We all know how easily things can be equated, and how much everything is all the same. Naturally, two deities from completely different cultures and backgrounds can be virtually the same. It s completely normal and expected to take something from one place and fit it into the mold of another.
People do it all the time.
Lissa recommended H.R. Ellis Davidson to me, in particular this book. In the original draft of this paper, most of the citations about Loki were from this book, but that didn t seem right, particularly when my other sources arrived, so I rewrote it to add more. After all, we all know how having more sources makes a paper look more scholarly and professional. Oddly enough, this was the one source besides Davidson to pop into my head in the original draft. I d found it and read it a week or so ago, when I was going through Loki links and looking around.
