Sylverlightweaver Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Does anyone know if Logna is based on a known Norse god? Obviously Woden = Odin, but I don't remember hearing about a Logna-like figure in Norse mythology. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSuperLee he/him Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 I believe that its meant to be a feminized version of Loki/Logi. If you use the Logi name, you can see how that goes Logi -> Logna. Plus Loki has some association with fire, just like Logna, might have been associated with protection of the home, like Logna teaching humans how to bind the landwights, and Loki was considered the sibling of Odin (adopted) just like how Logna is Woden's sibling. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cometaryorbit Posted April 18, 2023 Report Share Posted April 18, 2023 Yeah, she's got to be a female version of Loki. In addition to the connections @HSuperLeementioned, "Thokk" is an actual mythological alias/disguise of Loki (in the myth of Baldr's death), and Logna is called "mother of monsters" - Loki is the father of the Fenris Wolf and Midgard Serpent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshine Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 One of the other places I went with Logna was Ogma/Oghma from Celtic mythology, who was often associated with writing and the invention of the alphabet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firesong she/her Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 I agree Logna is most likely meant to be Loki. Maybe a combination of Loki and Ogma, like Rainshine suggests. Logi + Ogma > Loggma > Logma > Logna (Not an attempt at phonetic history, just was showing how you could get Logna from Loki and Ogma. Thokk basically proves though that she is at least partially Loki. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
