In This Drawing you can see the Birth of Loki and his life going from child to youth. This tale is a very good one, which i will not tell here, only few know and i will not break that. This tale is only told by very special Characters to others in very special occasions.

In the upper Corner of the left you can see Laufey, the mother of Loki in her Leafy isle, and at her side the great Giant Farbauti the father of Loki, a Jotnar with fire-giant blood on his veins, from Jötunheim ruler of the Lightning clan.
In the Midle there is the God Loki whom many know so well by the name and deeds, but only few know his story.
At the left side near Loki, you can see the Iron-Wood were many deeds came to pass, and History was made, many were slain and blood soaked into the earth.
At the right side, The Forest of Myrkwood, in the border of Muspelheim, Land of the Great Fire-Giants.
In the right corner Down, The Chieftain of the Fire-Giants in Muspelheim, Surt and the Oracle.
And finaly in the Left corner Down, Angrboda, the young chieftess of the Wolf clan, a powerful witch with the lineage of the Volva in her, with her, loki is the father of Hel, Fenrir and Jörmungandr.

I hope you like it.

PS 1: Many see Loki as an Evil God, some compare him as Satan, from Christian Myths. Remember, all Gods have a role to play in many occasions, all have their deeds and their makings.
PS 2: I dont know why people always see Loki in drawings, paintings etc, with black hair, it is tould when he borned "...an infant boy with hair the color of flame."
