Norse / Germanic Mythology: Ragnarok
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 ก.ย. 2024
- In Norse mythology, Ragnarök (Old Norse "final destiny of the gods") is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and reborn gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.
The event is attested primarily in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Prose Edda, and a single poem in the Poetic Edda, the event is referred to as Ragnarökr or Ragnarökkr (Old Norse "Doom of the Gods"), a usage popularized by 19th century composer Richard Wagner with the title of the last of his Der Ring des Nibelungen operas, Götterdämmerung.

That was wonderful. Thank you for making this.
Thank you for your beautiful hard work!
Looks like we know where GRRM got his "Winter is Coming" inspiration from.
I find it interesting that many astronomers and weather people are predicting a mini ice age in the next sun cycle -set to begin shortly, this would equate to 3 long harsh winters.
Cool! Reminds me of the Silmarillion.
Has it occurred to anyone else that the story of Fenrir at Ragnarok killing Odin is something of a self fulfilling prophecy? At the time of his binding, Fenrir had not really caused too much trouble, but because Odin heard a prophecy that Fenrir would kill him, he tricked the wolf by lying to him. So after god knows how many centuries of waiting and thinking about what happened, he struck revenge on the one who imprisoned him. What would have happened if Odin said that he didn't believe the wolf would do him any harm?
Quit trying to start shit Loki
I think this has everything to do with it. They know their fates suggest they are not stuck in time, and have foreknowledge but still had free will and choices. Somehow everything is connected in the myth, but maybe the Asgard are in a 4th time dimension and not in our 3d spacial one, and this is what the Bifrost bridge is?
tigerspirit1917 everything in norse mythology is cyclical.Odin did not have Fenrir bound because he feared his own death, but rather the destruction of the worlds. He had Fenrir bound out of fear of what he could become. Ragnarok is the prophecy of the the volva, or witch, it is not set in stone what exactly will happen, if it even does. For all we know, Fenrir's bindings could be permanent and non of it matters 😊
It's The Final Legion by Triarii
Children of Midgard here my call the final destiny of the gods is coming and we must be prepared to stand with them do so to for the honor of your ancestors and the glory of the Aesir
Beautiful...amazing job on the video and good music too!
Ragnarok has already been, it occurred when Christianity came to Scandinavia.
For more than a thousand years ago.
It began with the Gods disappearance, more and more, when people changed their faith in The old gods and their persona in nature and its inherent powers.
Balder was the most fairest and most beautiful of all the gods, he was the one who survived Ragnarok.
Music is epic...great.
⚠️ It is wrong. Gods can not die/perish. I do think what Edda has been modified.
What's the music? It's incredible!
Triarii!
I find it quite interesting that every religion, both present, and those we now refer to as mythology, show the world being new and alive and as it is supposed to be, once human beings are eliminated from the equation.
Human beings are not eliminated from the equation in this or any mythology. Like many mythologies, Ragnarok leaves 2 humans left to procreate and start anew.
tigerspirit1917 The gods are eliminated from the equation.
Viking Yaa No, a few gods survive also.
I feel Ragnarok has already happened. The Ice Age was the three winters. The huge battle among Earth was hidden and burned from the fires of Surtr. Then the two humans. Lif and Lifbrasir repopulated the Earth. The only remains of these stories are the stone runes in Nordic countries. Hail to Odin! Hail to Thor!
Btw, what is this music? I like it!
The second one is Shadows in Silence by Enigma.
It is my understanding that the most ancient story say that after Ragnarok everything is finished, everything finished both good as well as evil. The rebirth part did not enter until the Christians started influencing it.
"by fire be purged"- the one true lord rangaros
What is the song used in this vid.? Its epic-ness Demands that I purchase it!
also the summoned into battle part is now unfolding as i type.
I love this video! great work.
Greetings from a dane.
This video are super good.
Cheers from Sweden
Where is this song from??? the first one? (I know what the last one is and that one is gorgeous too.)
Most Excellent work. Hail Ragnor!
i know this is too much but how will ragnorok play out in the next thor movie? is it purely based on norse mythology, i mean i have the first 2 thor movies which got me interested in norse mythology anyway and plus the megaman zero series which is aslo influenced by norse mythology. anyway very interesting
Magnifico! Thanks for the upload!
Hail Odin allfather
helsa brother or sister? liked the video it will be missed the passing of the old gods but i read them both daily and i must say out of all the old gods loki will be back he has died so may time and came back somehow. although even if he don't come back one's children is often more glorious then the parent.
Praise be to my ancestors.
love this music too! what is it?
Valhall may have existed. Before giving out the Edda, Snorri traveled to Västergötland to collect myths. And Halleberg some 300 years ago called Hall, and the flat top Valhall was useful model for Snorri when describing what Valhall looked like... wadbring.com/historia/under…
Nope, the "norse" folk (Norwegians and ~ Icelanders) is rooted in a much larger and primeval folk, which gathered folks from all over Sandinvia and the actual Germany and Denmark, so all those present folks can be defined as "germanic"
@4ourEver
Buddy, it is only the collapse of Rome, not the end of the world.
We'll they spared no expense on creativity
Do you think it may be possible that the Vikings in their trading with the Middle East may have picked up some things the early Christians believed? This sounds a lot like Matthew 24 and the Book or Revelation and the Book of Enoch. Or maybe all ancient cultures retained knowledge of the same things wherever they went?
Don't forget this WAS biblical to the Norse people. Just as The Bible is biblical to Christians and the Quran to the Muslims etc. It only takes time for religions to come and go. This is why people are Atheist.
I came here to be even a even bigger lore need for smite lol.
could it be that all of these events have already come to pass? it seems as the pure and strong have no stay here... maybe we have already lost. Please someone tell me that I am mistaken for i fear to the depths of my soul that there may be no more hope. Please? Anybody!?!
Second song? anyone? its so damn epic:(
Which Götterdämmerung song is it please respond back
A Song of Ice and Fire isnt just based on Ragnarok...it is Ragnarok
Ah! Thank you very much. I'm sorry I can't help you but most people seem to think it's by a band named Triarii or something like that. Anyway, thanks mate.
No, it's not real. It's just a story that IS very interesting .
What I'm about to say is not literally meant, but didn't Fenrir already swallow the Sol, the Swastika?
Why could the surviving gods not just revive their dead companions. It could be done just take all the knowledge Odin had left behind and cast the spell. Maybe that was the last information that was given to Odin. Maybe that was last piece of information in the story's were either destroyed or are missing. It would make lot of since. Along since the Aesir would have known of their fates and could have selected different opponents. That is what I think at least.
You have to understand that this is poetry and isn't meant to be taken literally. It is a collection of metaphors, symbols, and lessons that foretell an oncoming doom, but not really in the way the tale of Ragnarok describes. Either way, the gods in the Norse mythos do not have the power to bring back the dead so easily (look at Baldr for example after his death). The gods of Asgard are not all-powerful, all-knowing beings like other gods claim to be. They learn, they they stumble, and they, unfortunately, can die. Ragnarok is a big subject of study for me as an Asatruar and I wish I could explain to you in a comment what a lot of its meanings stand for (at least to me). If you're interested in learning more about this sort of mythology and its connections to science, as well as other religions, I suggest you go watch "Lady of the Labyrinth" here on TH-cam. Her knowledge of these subjects is incredible.
I will but their is a way the Aesir can revive the dead. Take the souls of the fallen Gods and sow them into the body's of the dead. Then chant the runes of live if they actually exist and though they shall be weaken they will live. Am going of the information an old man in my neighbor hood says he is quite intelligent. So his words I be leave in.
Nixxiom Machinima i feel the fact that the Norse gods are fallible is what makes them such likeable characters. By far the Norse Mythos is my favourite.
It is good set of stories that I really like.
And Norse Mythology and the saga of Beowulf probably stole/Borrowed from even more ancient stories and religions and they probably did the same too.
People have and will ALWAYS steal,borrow, imagine or be inspired by previous works.
With Tolkien it was Norse Mythology and other stories from Scandinavia because it was what he was interested in.
Same idea as the Great Flood & Noah; rebirth through cleansing..............
Just as "Everybody is Somebody's Weirdo"... so too is "Any religion is Somebody's Only religion.".... It is ludicrous to think any religion is false if one believes in one....
So what happens to those who die? Do they live on in the afterlife? It says there are Gods who survive and are reborn, so surely, there must be a God left to manage the afterlife.
Gods, in one perspective it would be one, only one,a group of supernaturals with super high strengths would separate as each would have his own view if you thought about it
-- After Ragnarok, Baldr is reborn, and holds the high hall of Gimli, or heaven. This is one view though, there are many.
Seth Alföðurson then saint Shaka appears and puts everyone in his six dimensions saying"Buddha bitchs!!!"
so the first sign of ragnarok is the day after tomorrow?
why wouldn't you post a lecture
Amon Amarth taught me all of this
Ragnarock has start already. Wars, international financial crysys (or maybe when money have been created), multi etnocultural society, pollution, etc etc.
Fenrir!
What is the name of the second song?
I would not say that Tolkien 'stole' anything... IMAGINATION and INSPIRATION always SPRING from that which already 'exists'... to either 'support' or 'denounce' or 'merely deviate'...
I like Surtr.
What for the horn to blow my friend....
ok btw... to the person who named this video it is NORSE not germanic!
Did you now that Loki is also called Skywalker?hmmmm.
In what chapter of the poetic edda
What you say makes absolutely no sense. I recommend watching thefuelproject on TH-cam. I feel you'll have a much greater insight on Christianity.
Yo super im christian too but this old mythologyes for me represent the wrld so leave the jesous alone for two seconds and believe what is told :)
The people who fought at teutoburgh we're not Vikings. Related people yes. But not vikings
Hail NORD Lands ! Hail Nordic type of people !!!
whos heard and played age of mythology?
Whats the first song called?
@@FolkloreIreland thanks bro 😘 been watching this way back since elementary, excellent video 😎
Ragnarok has already been set in motion, the long winter is coming and the planets in our solar system are being disturbed by something very large...
Mah dick!!! Sorry couldn't help it...
+Edgar Romero hahahaha
Do you have any proof that ragnarok is close?
Edgar Romero Haha I was going to comment "yeah, by DEEZ NUTZ"
Super Cancer
All hail the Northern Gods!
red letters cant see well
Oh really? You know how many words he stole (or borrowed if that makes you feel better) directly from old norse and norse mythology? Take middle-earth for starters, midgård. Gandalf, all the names of the dwarves in bilbo and so on. Lots of stuff from Beowulf too.
Created by the Vikings? With all due respect to your 'research', I think you need to do some more. Look at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest for example. Vikings fighting off hordes of Roman Christians.
Well stated. :) I agree with you entirely.
fenrir I
s the father of skoll and hati
Respond to this video...
the serpent represents "time"
would be pretty cool if it was real
Does anyone else think George RR Martin used Ragnarok as a blueprint for his books?
I think every fantasy writer uses Norse Mythology to create a world of there own.
Drew Russell i agree im writing a fantasy story and im taking some stuff form Norse Mythology i find it quite amazing
even J.K Rowling did it
Hailstorm Dj same here
Nice :)
Now read the book of enoch
What's the first song called
+Celticlight1 + may the dogs bless you on ASGAURD then for just saying !
My cold sea by arcana
how dose hel die ???
No, they won't.
I hope Loki or Fenrir win :D
***** Many Heathens do want the world, or at least Western civilization to end.
+Michael Morris no, we don't
The story has already been prophesied, Loki's our and all the Gods fates are sealed.
Token Black You know Pagans don't believe in the physical forms of our deities? They're metaphorical.
Tell me more, I am a Christian
hmmm
10:50
The Fimbul winter happens first, wich last 3 years, so Ragnarök won't happen this year ;)
Heil Wodan alvader!
2012? More like Ragnarok...
yes, tolkien stole most things from norse mythology really...
so ragnarok....then genesis? interesting
I read a book that said many mythologist believe that ragnarok came to be after the christians interacted with the Norse people, so basically it is the Christians putting their beliefs into the Norse Mythology. But who knows.
Justin Clark Nordic religion came and almost completely went before christianity came to be, ragnarok was written about far before christianity expanded past the city of jerusalem. However I do find it interesting that the Genesis including adam and eve in a garden is so comparable to the two surviving humans in the wood. Maybe all the religions are intertwined. This is why I'm a coexister
egyptians vs moses. christianity came after but i think jews came before norse myth
Yeah I'm not saying that norse myth wasn't there before Christianity, but it is interesting that only Norse Myth actually kills off their gods, which is why I believe Christians had something to do with that.
True true. But Norse gods have been known to have weaknesses and be able to die before ragnarok too. But you're right christianity may have had its influence.
Also, I'm sorry, but this is the dumbest comment I've ever read on TH-cam. Christianity was a Jewish sect. So, are you going to tell me Vikings invented Judaism now? Christianity is a Middle Eastern religion, brought to Europe. Not the other way around. The reason they're similar stories to Germanic mythology, is because Christians made them similar to make people find the conversion 'easier'. Please take your remedial 'facts' elsewhere.
i write poems about the gods, i am safe ^^
This already happened at the end of the ice age.
Lol, where do you think it came from?
yeah this is not correct.. its just... dumb
