Ragnarök is a Trickster-teaching, and not only because Loki plays a prominent role in it. Like other Trickster-tales in our world mythologies, Ragnarök simultaneously warns, teaches, and guides us in unexpected and insightful ways. In this workshop, we will explore these Trickster-teachings in hopes of gleaning the most from this most foreboding and most paradoxically inspirational and promising of myths. Ragnarök shows us what is possible (in the best way and the worst way). Ragnarök shows us that—even though cataclysm may be an inevitability—we may still have a choice on how this cataclysm unfolds. Will it play out as Civil War II, and WWIII, and the near-total self-destruction of humanity? Or will it play out as an internal, alchemical psycho-spiritual-social healing-transformation? Let’s see what the Trickster has to say.
