《Norse Revival: Transformations of Germanic Neopaganism》

P.97

The only controversial case when it comes to the worship of deities in Asatru is that of Loki, the troublemaker and trickster of the Nordic pantheon. Racial-religious Asatruers see him as the spawn of miscegenation (he is the child of a god and a giant); others view him as a destructive force due to his role in the killing of Balder and the demise of the gods in Ragnarok. A few, however, especially those who are interested in ‘shamanistic’ practices or seid, or in questions of gender and the transgression of gender boundaries, see him as a problematic although interesting figure, who deserves attention and careful worship.

In the wake of these homophobic theories, groups such as the ethnicist Odinic Rite consider homosexuality to be an unnatural “malady,” which must be contained in order not to spread and ‘infect’ the community. They despise “the hags of “women’s lib” […] and all the anti-life forces of homosexuality and the touters of abortion” as “part of Loki’s Brood.” Theodist Garman Lord similarly deplores the “homosexualisation of modern American society, which turns normal people into misfit ,” and laments gays having ‘taken over’ Wicca.
