It's time. Winter has come, and the giant wolf has swallowed the sun.
Today, Matt Lewis holds our hand as we experience the end of the world, known to the Norse people as Ragnarok.
He's joined by Eleanor Barraclough to explore the intricate prophecies, mythic battles, and the ultimate destruction and rebirth of the nine realms. This is the final episode in our series on the Norse Mythologies and ties together the previous explorations of Norse creation myths, gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki, and their influence on the mortal world, and how the Vikings envisioned the end of everything and the hope that followed.
