Countless myths have been passed down to us from the most diverse cultural periods. They contain images of early humanity depicting the origin of the world, the activity of the forces of nature, gods and fate after death.
ragnarok the decline of the old world According to the Nordic Edda, the essential event in the human genesis was the appearance of the demigod Loki. At the beginning and the creation of all worlds, it was he who provided the bridge Bifrost, once built through Heimdal, with its variety of colours and transformed it into a rainbow. Then the world was ready and man could appear in it (verses 5152 of the Voluspa).
This is why we may consider Loki the power that enabled distinction and differentiation. Closely related to the Greek Prometheus, he was also actively involved in the creation of man. And just as with Prometheus, his gift was the faculty of logical, abstract thinking, with which man could be the equal of the gods one day. Loki also corresponds to Lucifer: indispensable for human progress and development, although not without a price. We see ragnarok the decline of the old world 31
