Egregores vs. Deities: An experience. (part 3/3)

Part one of this series discussed the difference in the nature of egregores and deities. Part two of this series discussed the importance of discernment and gave some ideas on how to test the situation. In part three, I want to share with you my experience of the difference between an egregore that was supposed to be like a deity and the deity themself. As someone who is intimately involved with Loki, I tend to expect things to get weird with him. What I did not expect was for the egregore of Marvel!Loki to pop up on my spiritual radar.

At first, I thought it was Myth!Loki showing up under that guise to poke fun at it all. Marvel!Loki is a sassy and snarky character. That is something that is in common with Myth!Loki, to some extent. When Marvel!Loki refused to present as Myth!Loki typically does because it was distracting, I got suspicious. I pointedly asked Marvel!Loki what the name was given where we first met. Marvel!Loki attempted to tell me it didn't matter. Then Marvel!Loki began to tell me that I was a bad worshiper for questioning him. That sealed the deal, I knew it wasn't Myth!Loki that I was dealing with.

I banished the egregore and sealed my home against its return. Marvel!Loki is like a poltergeist and can cause things to get glitchy. That was the last thing I needed that day. Not too long after I did this, Myth!Loki showed up and asked me how I liked his counterpart. I informed Myth!Loki that Marvel!Loki was a dick, just like him. Where Marvel!Loki would have been outraged and threatened me for that blunt assessment, Myth!Loki laughed and asked if I meant Freyr with that comment.

Myth!Loki makes things glitchy to get your attention but Marvel!Loki just creates glitches where ever it goes. It's one of the defining traits of that egregore. Marvel!Loki is scripted in its responses. Myth!Loki is definitely not scripted. Marvel!Loki has the appearance of the character. Myth!Loki appears in so many different ways it's just this side of impossible to describe. Marvel!Loki is reported to be a shape shifter but never does so because the thought-form that generated Marvel!Loki is so heavily based in the iconic image portrayed in the movies that it is incapable of shifting form. Clothing may change, but face, build, and such don't.
