A BRIEF HISTORY OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY PART XVIII

LOKI PASSED

How does Loki avoid punishment! When he saw the angry gods, he ran away and fled to a mountainous area, building a tent with four doors so that he could see from all sides. He also made a net to catch fish.

Odin immediately discovered his hiding place, came to arrest him. Loki hastily transformed into a salmon lying hidden in a rock hole in the stream bed. The gods then took his own net and dropped it into the christmas day outfit stream. Loki was so scared that he jumped up, and Thor quickly grabbed his tail, squeezing it so hard that the salmon from there had a very thin tail. Then the gods tied him with chains, and made a poisonous snake hang on his head so that the venom dripped down his face. His wife Siguna sat next to him holding a glass of snake venom, but when she poured the glass, the venom continued to fall on Loki’s face causing him to struggle painfully, making the earth shake. They call them earthquakes.

RAGNAROK, SUNDAY OF THE GODS

All the Nordic countries believe that one day all the gods in Valhalla and Niffleheim, the inhabitants of Jotunheim, Alfheim, Midgard and their homes will be destroyed. That doomsday will be foretold. At first there will be three consecutive winters. The snow will cover the four corners of the sky, the cold wind will cut the skin, there will always be storms, the sun will be gloomy. Followed by three more winters (no summer). During these three winters, war broke out everywhere. The earth will tremble in terror, the sea will be rough, the tsunami will rise, the heavens will split in two, the dead will be like stubble, prey to the eagles. The wolf Fenris will then break the chains, the snake Jörmungandr emerges from the ocean. Loki also broke the chains, joining the horde against the gods under Surtur’s leadership. In front of and behind them fire was flowing skyward. They rode across the Bifrost rainbow. This bridge was broken by a horse’s hooves. They still headed to the Vigard front, where the wolf Fenris, the serpent Midgard, Loki and the servants of Death Hela and the Giants of the Ice.

God Heimdall then stood up and blew the horn and Giallar to summon the gods and heroes to fight. The Gods Assault. At first, Odin attacked the dog Fenris, but was defeated. The son of Odin, Vidar, defeated the skull baseball jacket dog. The god Thor was able to kill the snake Jörmungandr, but soon died from being sprayed by the snake’s venom. Loki and Heimdall decide to lose their lives, but in the end they both die.

Both sides died like straw. Surtur killed the sun god Frey, then set fire to the entire universe. The sun dims, the earth sinks into the ocean, the stars fall, and time ceases to exist.

Then Almighty God will establish a new heaven, a new earth. Everything comes from the ocean. This new earth will be full of fruit, who will not have to work hard to care for it. There will be no cruelty and suffering, so that gods and humans can live in peace and happiness together.
