I've been looking around for any kind of sign, symbol, sigil, or such that can be said to have anything to do with the deity Loki, of the Norse pantheon. There doesn't seem to be anything as obvious as what the hammer Mjölnir is to T(h)or, of same pantheon. Is this to be expected? Is a symbol as strongly associated as Mjölnir the exception? |

Loki was actually the son of a Frost Giant, and as such often is not counted as a proper member of the AEsir. When he appears in stories, it is usually as an antagonist for the hero(es) of the tale. As such, I don't think he was the subject of much veneration. The only common running theme I tend to see in numerous depictions of Loki (such as the one below) is his punishment of being bound with a snake over his head. Most of the rest show him taunting someone.
Elder Futhark, the old Runic alphabet, probably had a rune for Loki. However, some say it was Dagaz |
