Loki's Poisonous Words: The Cost of Jealousy, a Feast of Pride and Punishment

In this episode, Ulfhedinn Odinson narrates the Norse mythology tale of Lokasenna set during a feast hosted by the giant Aegir. Gods like Odin, Frigg, Bragi, and others attend, but Thor is absent. The trickster god Loki, driven by jealousy, kills a servant named Fimafeng. After being banished, Loki returns and engages in a verbal duel with the gods. The conflict escalates until Thor intervenes. Loki is eventually punished by being bound to a stalagmite with venom dripping onto his face. The episode explores themes of pride, jealousy, moral corruption and consequences.

Pour yourself a horn of mead and settle in for a wild ride through ancient myths where strength can deceive you.
