Jormungandr is a powerful figure in Norse mythology, representing both destruction and transformation. He is the son of Loki and the giantess Angrboda, and is destined to bring about Ragnarök, the Twilight of the Gods. He is also associated with the Ouroboros, an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. Jormungandr symbolizes the futility of trying to control forces that are ultimately beyond one’s ability to contain, both natural forces and those set in motion through human agency. He is an agent of transformation, representing the circle of life and the idea that something old can be reborn and new. Jormungandr’s ultimate battle with Thor at Ragnarök serves as a reminder that change is inevitable and nothing is permanent.
