omegaresnovae: "The Garden of Eden ties in with Ragnarok’s conclusion. Tonantzin was replaced with the Virgen María." Could you elaborate on those two, please?


Líf and Lífþrasir—female and male respectively—are two humans who are foretold to survive the events of Ragnarök by hiding in a wood called Hoddmímis holt, and after the flames have abated, to repopulate the newly risen and fertile world.

Tonantzin is the name of an Aztec mother goddess, but also an honorific title comparable to “Our Lady” or “Our Great Mother”. Some have claimed that upon the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the hill of Tepeyac where Tonantzin’s temple had been destroyed by the Spanish priests, the natives recognized Our Lady of Guadalupe as Tonantzin.
