I've been looking into Asatru tradition recently and I'm enjoying reading about it, though I'm still new to many aspects. I recently read into Loki's lore a bit and it led to a few questions.
The Lokesenna lore states from what I understand that as a result of Baldur's death, Loki is bound beneath to a serpent whose venom causes him great pain from now until Ragnarok, doesn't this mean he's impossible to approach/seek as he's essentially imprisoned?
I'm taking the Edda and history of the gods fairly literally in my research and this turned me away slightly, I want to know what people think; with everything destined to happen to the Gods now and at Ragnarok are the Gods following a set course? Are Loki and Baldur unapproachable or are the Gods less affected by time and this destiny?
Also as a side note, how inevitable do people view Ragnarok? Would it really be all Loki's doing?
Hopefully you guys understand the questions, I can't really phrase them in a way that makes perfect sense >.<
