In these, the latter days, many believe that Ragnarok is upon us. That Midgard will be caught up in the war between the gods and that our fate...is...actually the ancient prophecies don't go into a lot of detail here but I think overall death and destruction is implied.
We've spoken before of the trickster gods and Loki is perhaps the trickiest of them all. I suspect capitalism itself might be a trick. You'll note, that the happiest nations in the world are the ones where Asatru is most practiced. Is it apropos to consider that the birthplace of the Abrahamic faiths is perhaps the saddest? The Hindu realms are suffering under crushing poverty while the far east battles pestilence.
Yahweh talks a good game but how are the locals fairing? I think of dusty tattered children among the rubble when I think of the Middle East. And Sultans in their castles. Dressing and acting as though the last eight centuries never happened.
Take this to heart, men of faith, and remember that all gods are local gods. Choose wisely which to burn offerings to.
