Wait for Ragnarök.
In Atlamal Ragnarök is also mentioned in the dreams of Glaumvor (see p. [462]). In the later Edda the word is corrupted by having an “r” added, which gives the meaning of twilight instead of doom of the gods, as it really meant.
[68]. The Völva seems never to tire reminding her hearers that the dog Garm barks loud, &c.
[69]. The Völva.
[70]. Midgard—midr, middle; gardr, yard, enclosed space; also, courtyard and premises; a house in a village or town; a stronghold; a fence or wall; a collection of houses, a farm.
[71]. Asgard in olden times meant a place surrounded by walls, and also a collection of houses enclosed by a fence, hence the modern name in Scandinavia of gård for farm. The residence of the gods is also called by this name in the Edda.
[72]. Mannheimar (always in plural mannheimar, the singular is mannheim) means homes of men.
[73]. The word Gullveig is only found as a compound word this once in the literature of the North. Gull = gold; veig = draught, also strength. It may be a metaphor for the thirst of gold being the root of evil, and the cause of the first fight and manslaying in the world, as the thirst is never dying.
[74]. Hár = Odin.
[75]. Here evidently the reference is to the war between the Vanir and the Asar. This shows that they had been defeated. Feast means sacrifice, which was always followed by the feast; this would imply that they wanted to make a sacrifice for peace or victory.
