Who is Logi?
Logi is a powerful Norse fire-spirit. In myths, he is the second son of the old frost-giant Mistblindi, also known as Fornjotr, born of a fire-giant mother just after the Flood. His older brother is Kari the North Wind, and his younger brother is Aegir the King of the Sea. He later entered into the sworn service of Utgard-Loki. He appears in the story of Thor and Loki meeting the sorcerer-ruler Utgard-Loki; they were challenged to beat the lord of Utgard's various friends and family members in random contests. Loki was challenged to beat one of his courtiers in a contest of eating; the fiery man soundly trounced him, as he not only devoured the meal but the bones and the plate as well. He was then revealed as Logi - the old fire-god against the new one. Logi was sometimes called Halogi (High-Logi) by his friends and family, because he was very tall. There is some history that conflates him with a mortal king by the same name. His wife was named Glut (Glow) and she bore him two daughters, Einmyria (Ashes) and Eisa (Embers). They seem to have long since passed away, and Logi lives alone in his black-rock cave in Muspellheim, the World of Fire. Whether there was a mortal Logi/Halogi who lived a life similar to his - perhaps living Logi's archetypal pattern - or not is something that we may never know.
Logi is a very old god, one of the original magical triplicity of Kari-Logi-Aegir (Wind/Fire/Sea), more ancient than the invading Indo-Europeans. Some scholars, including H.A. Guerber in his Myths And Legends Of The Norsemen, conjecture that these three giant-Gods were part of an older creation myth that predates the myths of the Aesir and Vanir. Together, they make up a triplicity of the primal elements working on the Earth; the interaction of Sea, Flame, and North Wind creating and shaping the world of the North. The Scandinavian scholar Preben Muellengracht has suggested that these three elements of Sea, Flame and North Wind were an alternative model to the magical quadriplicity of Earth, Water, Fire and Air. The sea-kings of Orkney historically traced their descent from these three brothers.

A question? If one does not remember the situation, how do they know that they went into the world tree or to visit the gods and spirits?
Very interesting post.
Hello! well, you left a comment in the post about "Logi the Fire Spirit" but i assume that you are refering to the " Amanita Muscaria" post right? That is a very good question and i was actualy expecting someone to do it.
There are many ways to enter in trance and made these kind of journeys, and you actualy know what are you seeing and living in the moment in most of them,and after it you will remember, but when taking this specific mushroom, when the effects wear off, you will not remember anything that you have actualy lived, only a few images, but not anything more specific, but you talk if someone askes you anything, liek in a dream, people even talk whitout anyone asking them, and they can describe what they see, and these things match with the things others see in other kinds of journeys without taking these mushrooms. Because while in the effect of this mushrooms, people can't stay alone, because it is toxic and they might need help afterwards.
I hope i have helped you, anymore questions, feel free to ask.
