lack of evidence is not evidence anon. there is absolutely nothing in the eddas or sagas to suggest semen drinking was a part of any ritual.
seidhr was considered to be 'umanly' magic because you consumed a cocktail of herbs and drugs to induce a 3 day long trance state in which the spirit left the body to venture to other worlds. odin tried it once after learning the magic from freya and then forbid it from being practiced by men, as he believed it unmanned them. in germanic society and culture a man was essentially seen as equal to a woman if he wasnt useful or pulling his own weight, and so loki's accusation that odin was being a woman when he learned such magic is rather typical insult found in sagas dealing with how the norsemen interacted with each other. you forget to mention that loki is basically the god of liars, tricksters, hustlers and shit-talkers, so its dubious whether anything he says in lokesenna has any weight or is simply being exaggerated for comedic effect. one of the few known depictions of loki in germanic art shows him with a stitched mouth
