How does Ragnarok fit into the hermetic body of teachings? After all Odin was an iniate of the Great Mystery. It clearely portrais cosmic events that will foretell of the end of the world.
I find it very interesting that 2 humans will survive Ragnarok in an enchanted forest (Garden of Eden), starting humanity anew in the new eon. Thoughts on this /pol/?
If we're talking about Hermeticism, the Gold has to be separated from the Dross. Currently, the world is rotten and filthy.
It has to be purified by fire to removed the degeneracy and only the gold will remain. That's how I see it.
