Loka Táttur or Lokka Táttur (Faroese "tale—or þáttr—of Loki") is a Faroese ballad dating to the late Middle Ages that features the gods Loki, Odin, and Hœnir helping a farmer and a boy escape the wrath of a bet-winning jötunn. The tale notably features Loki as a benevolent god in this story, although his slyness is in evidence as ...
Logi (Old Norse: , 'fire, flame') or Hálogi ([ˈhɑːˌloɣe], 'High Flame') is a jötunn and the personification of fire in Norse mythology. He is a son of the jötunn Fornjótr and the brother of Ægir or Hlér ('sea') and Kári ('wind'). Logi married fire giantess Glöð and she gave birth to their two beautiful daughters—Eisa and Eimyrja.
The main argument for this is that the gods Odin, Hœnir, and Loki occur as a trio in Haustlöng, in the prose prologue to Reginsmál, and also in the Loka Táttur, a Faroese ballad which is a rare example of the occurrence of Norse gods in folklore.

In Norse mythology, Kvasir (Old Norse: [ˈkwɑsez̠]) was a being born of the saliva of the Æsir and the Vanir, two groups of gods. Extremely wise, Kvasir traveled far and wide, teaching and spreading knowledge. This continued until the dwarfs Fjalar and Galar killed Kvasir and drained him of his blood.
The name means "Loki's horned face" and "formed like a caribou," referring to the fact that its frill displays horns of different lengths on each side, like caribou antlers.
