Who is the Nordic God of fire?

Answer 1

In most Norse myths, Loki is portrayed as a prankster and a trickster. His misadventures often involve creating great problems for the Norse gods and for the inhabitants of the other worlds. When things seemed at their very worse, Loki often provided the remedy to save the day. His loyalty was often torn between the giants and the gods of Asgard and in trying to please both, he often found himself in deep trouble. Because of his wit and his cunning and mischievous character, Loki earned the name "God of Mischief". He was also considered the "God of Fire".

Answer 2

Loki is the Nordic God of Fire and Trickery. But rather than view him as a bad guy I think we should simply view him as the ancient Norse did and see him simply as an agent of Fate. After all if you read Norse Mythology you see that the Norns or Fates had decreed Ragnorok because of Odin's actions not Loki's. And the ancient Norse simply viewed Loki as an agent of Fate bringing the end of the world as prophesied.

Answer 3

Loki is often called god of fire. Surt or Surtur is the fire demon who shall destroy the universe with fire at the climax of Ragnarok or Gottterdammerung though. Loge is fire personified in one tale of Thor's travels to Jotunheim the land of Frost Giants.

Answer 4

Loki is indeed correct! see following...
Loki
by Micha F. Lindemans
Loki is one of the major deities in the Norse pantheon. He is a son of the giant Farbauti ("cruel striker") and the giantess Laufey. He is regarded as one of Aesir, but is on occasion their enemy. He is connected with fire and magic, and can assume many different shapes (horse, falcon, fly). He is crafty and malicious, but is also heroic: in that aspect he can be compared with the trickster from North American myths. The ambivalent god grows progressively more unpleasent, and is directly responsible for the death of Balder, the god of light.
Loki's mistress is the giantess Angrboda, and with her he is the father of three monsters. His wife is Sigyn, who stayed loyal to him, even when the gods punished him for the death of Balder. He was chained to three large boulders; one under his shoulders, one under his loins and one under his knees. A poisonous snake was placed above his head. The dripping venom that lands on him is caught by Sigyn in a bowl. But every now and then, when the bowl is filled to the brim, she has to leave him to empty it. Then the poison that falls on Loki's face makes him twist in pain, causing earthquakes.

On the day of Ragnarok, Loki's chains will break and he will lead the giants into battle against the gods. Loki is often called the Sly One, the Trickster, the Shape Changer, and the Sky Traveler.

According to Georges Dumézil, Loki shows a great resemblance with Syrdon, a demonic creature from Caucasian legends.
