Sadly over here a lot of people think runes / being into norse mythology = (neo)nazis. Just because they appropriated some of the old symbols and like to use the imagery of Thor/ Odin even though they know f*ck all about the old songs or they would know it doesn’t fit their idiot ideology.
April 1: Loki Day. Loki’s Day is celebrated on April 1st by American Asatru groups and individuals influenced by the old Ostara festival held by the old Ring of Troth, which was a multi day campout that included April 1st when that date fell on a weekend. Loki Day was a day for pranks and jokes in honor of Loki, and toward the end of the RoT women who were awake in the early morning threw their hair-combings into the fire for Loki. When the Ring of Troth broke into two groups, the American Vinland Association kept the Loki celebrations intact, while over the years the Ring of Troth abandoned them due to the influence of new members who were Nokeans (see my post on Nokeans for a definition and discussion.) The Troth recently re-embraced Loki, so the old custom may or may not come back. Also on April 1st: Narrentag (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and the season of the possible date of Alp Aufzug begins (Switzerland.)
Loki Fest brings pranks jokes, and more! Forn Sidr of America would like to wish everyone a fun (and safe!) Loki Fest! To read more about this holiday and how to celebrate check out our blog post!

“we all stop thinking and we all stop talking and we all stop sharing and we all stop creating, because by doing any of these things we quickly find out just how unhappy we are. but that’s okay, that’s normal. don’t let the fear of unhappiness cripple your pursuit of finding what it is you believe. since joy is found in belief, we all have to push through unhappiness to find joy.” -tyler joseph
