There are many different interpretations of Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods, some think that it is a warning that if we lose faith then we will lose our gods, for example some people think that Fenrir, Loki's son, symbolizes the Roman empire or just general Christianity, and when the story tells that Odin falls to Fenrir, that it means that the religion will be devoured by Christianity. Some also say that the remaining gods symbolize how the religion will come back, and I have always agreed with this.
I believe that the story of Ragnarok is not an actual event that will happen or has already happened, but more of a reminder that we had a religion before christianity, and it will always have a place in the religious community. So, Asatru believers and other religions based off Norse paganism need not worry about losing our gods, in the eyes of many believers including myself, our gods will always be there, and again, do not take the story of Ragnarok too literally, our gods are here and they can handle themselves.
This is an extremely shortened version of our beliefs on a religious story that I had to do for school, atheists had an alternative assaignment, people with a religion had to write from their religion. I'm wondering what you all think, this is partly to see if it sounds like gibber, and partly to see how many other SoM'ers think like this. I found that most (around 6-7/10) Norse pagans/Asatruers think like this.
I posted this because alot of new Asatru believers have been flipping out because they do not want to lose their gods, so I just want to tell them that there is nothing to worry about, just follow the religion, gods will be there.


What did y'all think?
