Summary

Loki, ever the shapeshifter, has never been more adaptable across pop culture. Whether it's deep in the stories from Norse mythology, the countless offshoots and interpretations across media, or even the prolific Loki that has come to dominate our screens via the Marvel Cinematic Universe, each serves its own purpose and offers a new layer to the character we've come to know so well.
By exploring contemporary variations of Loki from Norse god to anti-hero trickster in four distinct categories – the God of Knots, Mischief, Outcasts and Stories – we can better understand the power of myth, queer theory, fandom, ritual, pop culture itself and more.
Johnson invites readers to journey with him as he unpicks his own evolving relationship with Loki, and to ask: Who is your Loki? And what is their glorious purpose?

From the moment we are born we are controlled and manipulated by an alien hybrid race. We are fed poison and sold a cure. We are numbered, brainwashed, taxed and lied to. We are food for the masters and nothing more. 
 
The lies we are sold are so powerful that we ourselves become preachers of deceit. No matter the technology, no matter the age of man, no matter the flag we hold dear to - we are pawns of the alien overlords. 
 
For thousands of years mankind has been controlled by a powerful reptilian elite that came down to earth as watchers and gods. Every religion, mythology and folklore on planet earth has some element of their history. Their offspring are the powerful and rich families that have been linked to so many secret societies. 
 
These creatures are malevolent by nature and ugly to our sight. They change shape, confuse and conspire. They created and control the secret societies, shadow governments and religions. Their power is over the control of our thoughts and actions. 
 
Knowledge is power. Arm yourself now and discover the truth about the Alien Conspiracy.
