Odin. Thor. Loki. The world-tree. The gods who knew the world would end — and kept going anyway.
Ragnarök was not a possibility — it was a prophecy, fixed and coming, inscribed into the structure of the cosmos. Odin knew he would be swallowed by Fenrir. Thor knew he would kill the Midgard Serpent and then die of its venom. They knew, and they prepared, and they went anyway. That is not despair. That is something closer to the opposite.
Odin. Two ravens. One eye. All of existence under his gaze.

The tree is always being gnawed at. The tree always survives. Until it doesn't.

Norse visual art is geometric, precise, intricate — the knotwork, the interlaced animals, the rune carvings. It rewards patience. It rewards the same attention it was made with.
Thor. The hammer that always returns.
