[quote]Ragnarok, which translates to ‘Doom of the Gods’, is due to be preceded by the winter of winters.
Vikings believed, prior to the apocalypse, three freezing winters would follow each other with no summers in between.All morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world, signalling 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.There will be huge earthquakes, the sea will rear up and the soil and the sky will be stained with poison.
The sound of the horn is supposed to call the sons of Odin to the battlefield, where Odin will ultimately be killed.
After his death, the Earth was foretold to sink into the sea, paving the way for a new Utopian world with endless supplies.[/quote]
Thoughts? Personally, I'm excited.
EDIT: This is set to happen on February 22nd according to the article.

That's when Jörmungandr comes out to play, isn't it? He's the friendly sea serpent who curls around the world and kills Thor in the end.

The Almighty Johnsons was a great show

Ragnarok was written by Christians as a last ditch attempt to get the Norse culture to integrate. The end of Ragnarok is the start of Genesis. Or at least the Norse form of Genesis. Regardless, I don't think Ragnarok is upon us. I haven't heard of any world serpents named Jormangunder chilling out around the world. Nor have I heard of a manly Nordic hero killing all these giants we have.

False Valhalla

[quote]The winter of all winters[/quote] I haven't had a single flake of snow here, lest a touch of frost all year, for the first time in my entire life. -blam!-ing global warming.
