Back in 2012 someone posted a photo of an offering they made to Loki and it was a little premade spongecake. And polytheist Tumblr was in an uproar about it because ‘that’s not an adequate offering to Loki’ and some other bullshit. But it sparked a discussion about gatekeeping in the polytheist communities, how canon lore goes deeper than the gakekeepers think it does, and fuck it- they’re your gods, honor them how YOU want to! 

And then there were memes. 

The person who started the discussion came forward last year to give the context to their offering. 

So some people use the day to honor Loki, but I use the day to honor my deities in ways that are completely appropriate, but to an outside perspective may look silly or amateurish. 

Such as:

 Or bumming a cigarette off a co-worker to make this in the parking lot of a Baby’s R Us to make this:

It’s gonna be a little harder now that I work in a place that has significant security, but I am not above making offerings to the gods by the dumpster behind Hallmark.

A) how do *they* know Loki wouldn’t’ve accepted it? B) why is Sept. 5 Loki’s day?

Because that’s the day that the post happened. 

Happy SpongeGate Cake Day!
