Re: deities that can grant wishes?
One thing I'm going to say is that asking for wishes is essentially asking for something for free. And nothing ever comes for free. Wishes rarely turn out to be what you wanted them to be. Equal exchange is important, which is why we make offerings or do tasks for deities, so that there's an equal exchange when we work with them or get their guidance. Pretty much every culture has fables about why looking for wishes doesn't work out.
Rather than changing who you seek your wishes from, maybe reevaluate why you're trying to get the wish for free and see if you can't find a way to work toward whatever that goal is.

Re: has anyone worked with loki or eris?
Are you looking for something in particular? It's a very broad question you're asking and I find it would be pretty hard to answer without some sort of direction. Especially since Loki and Eris are from two different pantheons.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

Re: has anyone worked with loki or eris?
from what I have heard from my Pagan friends (and well, second hand reporting here :P ) working with Loki can be very dangerous, as Loki enjoys chaos, and trustworthiness is not his forte.
Edit: Basically, they've had some bad experiences.

Of course, if you plan to use the Key of Solomon style forcible conjuring and binding you're likely to get yourself hurt. The ceremonial magicians of old only pulled that off after years of training and even then it didn't always work - that's where the horror stories come from. Even with the cosmic groove of the seals and triangles, you need to be a powerful magician to forcibly conjure and bind an entity of that level. Would you try to conjure and bind Zeus? I don't recommend this method. Apart from the fact that it's terribly disrespectful, if you aren't skilled enough to pull it off the Demon you've just conjured may well decide to take retribution. Personally I wouldn't blame Them.

Re: has anyone worked with loki or eris?
Given you asked about Loki and Eris, can I assume you're looking for a Trickster deity who likes to spread havoc?
And considering you mentioned Demons in your other post can I assume you're looking to flirt with chthonic, 'dark' deities?
Exactly what are you looking for here? We may be able to give better advice if we know what you really want.

Re: deities that can grant wishes?
This is off topic but I think appropriate to it.
Utopia, are you the same Utopia that has been going through the various boards asking about wishes and such? I most recently ran across you on the Occult Corpus board asking about the same thing (wishes) but in conjunction with Hecate / Hekate & Lilith being the source you were asking about granting wishes. Which strikes me as odd considering that Lilith is a Lilitu Demon and Hecate / Hekate in her Chaldean persona dispatches daemons to reward or punish humanity. Even odder is the fact you seem to think that simply by making an offering they will do as you desire because you made the offering.
ON topic
I do agree with Rae'ya in that the Greater and Lessor Keys of Solomon require one of considerable training and skill to be used as the old grimores and archaic tales speak. Though I have to admit seldom do they speak of the second who is always present to aid the conjuror in creating the signs, sigils and boundary markings.I'm Only Responsible For What I Say Not For What Or How You Understand!
