The Ragnarök

 

the bloody conflict in Norse mythology between the forces of chaos and the elder ones. Between the gods headed by Odin and the fire giants, elves, and other monsters led by Loki and Surtr, the battle known as Ragnarok, or the destiny of the gods, took place.

The Beginning of the End...

The Sun and the Moon have been the prey of Skoll and Hati, sons of Fenrir, who have been pursuing and hunting them across the skies since the dawn of time. The world tree or the big tree will quake, and darkness will cover the skies as a whole. The enormous wolf Fenrir will be freed when the chains restraining him shatter. The globe snake, dormant in the ocean's depths, would awaken and envelop the continent. The shackles that the Gods had tied Loki, the serpent-father of the universe, and Fenrir, the Gods' betrayer, and they both broke and fell from them.

The Battle between Odin, Thor V/S Fenrir, and the World Serpent

The different Gods perished in the ultimate conflict between the gods, demons, and giants. Thor and Odin the All-battle fathers with Fenrir and the world snake received much of the attention. Thor was assigned to battle the global snake, while Fenrir, also known as Oden's bane, was set to battle Odin in Ragnarok. During the conflict, Odin and Fenrir engaged in a bloody duel in which Ferris killed Odin as if it were fate. The battle between Thor and the world snake, one of the most formidable creatures, was legendary. Thor sacrificed his life to slay the world snake with his powerful hammer Mjolnir, since the poison that the serpent's bite injected into Thor killed him as he went nine steps from the serpent's body.

The World Tree: Yggdrasill

 The world tree, also known as Yggdrasill or Mimameidr in Old Norse, is a massive ash tree that supports the cosmos. Three of its roots reached Asgard, the abode of the gods, Jötunheim, the country of the giants, and Niflheim, the underworld. Three wells were located at the base of the tree: Urdarbrunnr (Well of Fate), from which the Norns (the Fates) watered the tree, Hvergelmir (Roaring Kettle), where Nidhogg, the monster that nibbled at the tree's roots, lived, and Mimir's Well (Source of Wisdom), for whose waters Odin sacrificed an eye. Despite being severely disturbed, the world tree was to be the source of fresh life after Ragnarök (Doomsday).  Asgard The sir, a group of gods that rule over Asgard and include Odin, Frigg, and Thor, reside there. The world is encircled by an unfinished wall, which is said to have been constructed by a stonemason who was actually a Hrimthurs and was killed by Thor once the gods discovered this. The immense dining hall known as Valhalla, or

The Three Precious Children Of Japan

Image
 The legend of Izanagi's return from Yomi serves as an explanation for the origins of the Sun and the Moon in Japanese mythology. Izanagi purified himself with a ceremony after spending so much time in Yomi. As Izanagi cleansed himself, the water and robes that fell from his body created many more gods. Purification rituals still function as important traditions in Japan today, from shoe etiquette in households to sumo wrestling purification ceremonies. Amaterasu, the Sun goddess and divine ancestor of the first Emperor Jimmu, was born from Izanagi's eye. When Izanagi washed his face, the birth of Amaterasu coincided with that of Susanoo, the storm god, and the Moon-god. Conflict and strife abound in myths about the Sun, Moon, and Storm kami. In Japanese folklore, interpersonal disputes between the Sun goddess and her sister, the moon god, account for why the Sun and the Moon do not remain in the sky at the same time. They both dislike one another, which causes them to turn awa
