The epic prose edda visual summary to the god of foresight, Heimdallr, of the Norse mythos. From bottom to top, the piece depicts valiant warriors dining in reverie to reach Vahalla, guided by the valkyries, then crossing the Bifrost ( the rainbow bridge connects midgard and asgard). In comparison, chaos and anarchy reign supreme in Ragnarok’s wake, an end to all.

Heimdallr is born by nine sister mothers of the sea and undines. Resting in his sight is the world tree, Yggdrassil, its branches uniting the nine realms . Nidhogg, the world serpent, is nibbling on its roots. Heimdallr is holding the golden sword. Hofund, in one hand, and the Gjallahorn in the other. Gulltoppr, the golden-maned horse, roams midgard. The golden rooster, Gullinkambi, playfully resting, gives the forewarning of Ragnarok. He wears Freya’s Necklace as his armband from a quest, and Loki is transformed into a salmon in an attempt to take Freya’s Necklace, Brisingamen. Heimdall shapeshifts into a seal to resist.

Ragnarok- the prophecy. Heimdallr’s foresight far exceeds the visual domains, reaching time itself. In it, he sees Fenrir baring its fangs, Surtr with his sword ablaze, Jormungandr the devouring serpent, and chaos consuming all. Nearing the galaxy’s end, all hope is shouldered on one remaining race in reshaping the new world; mankind.
