Ashley kicks off our Norwegian triptych with the world-shattering tale of Ragnarok. For starters, Ashley dishes on the Vikings and Old Norse religion. Then she serves up the myth itself: a seer’s prophecy to Odin that describes a series of events leading up to the end of the entire cosmos. Our dessert course is a fun-filled comparison between the original myth and the 2017 movie Thor: Ragnarok.
