There is a cavern beneath the world. aka The Man. The Woman. The Snake. The Bowl.

Some hardcore Sandman fans might have already realized who I'm going to talk about. Or maybe some people who like Norse mythology.

Last night I've read Season of Mists, and I've had some pretty interesting dreams afterwards (taking a long stroll in the cavern beneath the world), and woke up still in the dark. And then I had to read certain parts of American Gods, because I couldn't remember, and because he was in it...

So... take your three guesses, because I'm going to post a picture. ^^

So... yeah, this guy.

I always had a soft spot for trickster gods. They tend to be adorable and cunning. I also remember, during the exam of... well, it was either Celtic Mythology/History or Viking History/Mythology, because the teacher was the same and the oral parts of the two exams were pretty much overlapping...

So, I remember that during the exam I was supposed to talk about the books I've read. You had to read 3 shorter books, 3 long studies or one looong book for each exam, by the way. And I picked the Edda, because that was long enough, and I was, still am a sucker for mythology. And in the end, she asked me which god I liked best from the whole of Edda.

I said Loki without thinking, right off the bat. There was no competition. I mean Loki, the god of chaos, change, the trickster, someone who had so many sides none of the other gods did (and a very clever head on his shoulders), is still my favourite. Of course he is usually associated with winter, and I wouldn't say he is that benevolent (actually he will take part in Ragnarök, fighting on the side of Jötunn, but let's not go there), but hey, he's still cute.

Uhm... that's about it.
