I had this feeling. No other magicians in Asgard, Loki hanging out with his brother's friend group not having his own. It's a stretch, but not much of a stretch.

I don't think that being a magician was all that weird in Asgard. I mean, it's heavily implied that Frigga was the one who taught Loki magic, and she was a very popular queen.

Yeah, I don't think being magic user in general was weird although I think it was a lot more common for women and somewhat odd for men to do it (I'm preeeeeeetty sure I saw this mentioned somewhere in canon, whether in the comics or movies, but it's entirely possible that I'm thinking of a fanfic and just confusing it with canon. That happens sometimes)

Or it was in North Mythology.

You're probably thinking of seiðr, which was a form of sorcery in Norse religion practiced mainly by women. It was taboo for men to practice it, because it was seen as unmanly. (Though it was Odin rather than Loki who was associated with it in mythology.) I don't follow comic books, but I don't think there's any evidence that the magic practiced in the comics/in the MCU has the same taboos attached to it, or even that seiðr actually exists there. I think the Asgardian sorcerers in the MCU just use general purpose magic.

I have seen fics playing with the concept of male magic users being weird or even taboo in Asgard, though.

Yeah, I think you're right. It seems like something I picked up while reading a fanfic a while back and I must have gotten it mixed up with canon somewhere along the way because I thought it sounded plausible enough. Dammit fanfic, you got me again!

Good point!
