The only connection between Loki and the Biblical Satan comes from the mental gymnastics of medieval Catholic monks.
The Church equated ALL Pagan Gods with Evil, Satan, as the Adversary of YHVH.
Thus Lucifer the Latin morning star and Loki became devils of the church.
Loki, in the sagas wreaked chaos by revealing when the Gods broke oath, broke faith, dishonoring themselves. He publicly exposed hypocrisy which unleashed Chaos.
He did not lie about the Gods. He exposed their sins.
Loki also provided Thorns Hammer, Odins Horse, and other treasures of the Aesir.
Loki was also a trixter, a shape shifter. The targets recorded were always the powerful that had abused their powers.
In the End, Loki at Ragnarok, Loki battles against the Gods.
Loki does not cause Ragnarok, it is the hubris of the Gods that cause Ragnarok.
Is Loki good or evil?
Is anyone?
What I do know is, Loki is not Satan.
Loki, the name defined from swearing a sacred oath.
Satan, Shaitan, derived from deceiver, Liar.
They are not interrelated and serve a tremendously different role.
