Den 22. februar 2014 bryter visstnok ragnarok løs. Hva er egentlig ragnarok, og er den hedenske endetidsmyten egentlig kristen?
Sola myrknar, jorda søkk i sjøen, dei ljose stjernene fell frå himmelen. Eld brenner Yggdrasil sine kvister, og eit stort bål snerter skyene.

Ancient Legend states that the Norse God, Heimdallr, would blow the mythical Gjallerhorn to summon the sons of Odin for the final battle. They would lose that battle and 100 days from its beginning, Odin would die, signaling the beginning of Ragnorok (AKA “doom of the gods,” AKA apocalypse. That trumpet was blow in York on November 14, putting the end of the world at February 22, 2014.
What to expect:
“All morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world, signaling the beginning of the end.
“The wolf Skoll would devour the sun, and his brother Hati would eat the moon, causing stars to vanish from the sky and the Earth to be thrown into eternal darkness.”
The upside: Odin is said to be killed by “creator gods.” Also, “The Earth will sink into the sea, paving the way for a new utopian world with endless supplies.”
As I pointed out in this article, apocalypse means “to discover or reveal.” It seems the ancient Norse prophets had the same idea as the ancient Hebrews. The end of the world as we know it will occur when all our historically violent gods are destroyed and new, more harmonious, sustainable myths are created (by the creator gods).
This could be one reason atheists are doing better with PR and looking more moral to many these days. It seems humanity may be coming out from under the shadow of the old, oppressive forces, and into it’s own light. Many will stay on the battlefield until the last archaic god is dead. However, others are busy ushering in the new day.

We never tire of conspiracy theories and apocalypse predictions: Y2K, Nostradamus, the Mayas and 2014 sees the Vikings predicting doom and gloom for all.
2014 is the year of the Vikings, yes I’ve said it and I stand by my conviction: TV series, exhibitions, fashion, animated films and even their very own apocalypse prediction. Granted if the Vikings were right then 2014 will be a very short year indeed, as the world is set to end on the 22nd February, yet, a good month and a half would have passed in the year of the Vikings.
