Going back to Norse Mythology we find that the Twilight of the Gods is called “Ragnarok”. Using an age-old technique known to the ancients we can decipher the meaning of this word. In Hermetic Lore we find the phrase “As Above – So Below”, but this is not quite correct, for the true saying should be “As Above – So Below, but in a mirror-image of one another”. In other words the Earth is a mirror-image of the Heavens. Ragnarok is clearly the Battle of the Gods – in the heavens. Its mirror-image (reflection) is Korangar which is Koran-Gar – “Spear of the Koran”. Islamic Militancy is the sign that heralds the Last Battle upon Middle-Earth.

Sweet, I want to believe A, then I change whatever sources I find authoritative to say A, therefore A is true
XD love it
Is this really fundie though? Well, whatever. At very least he's not spewing bile everywhere.
Just to let you know..people who follow Norse tradition call our planet "Midgard", which means "Middle Earth". If you understood their cosmology, you would understand this.
In no way does this post mean that I agree with the ranting Wodenist..I am merely clearing things up
Fuck me, this sounds like the intro to some marketing cartoon film for kids.
Wait what? Middle-Earth? Wut?

It depresses me that so many people think this lunatic was referencing Tolkien. Do any of you even read the other comments before posting?
In any case, "Korangar" is just a term this idiot made up. Does he honestly think that the Vikings would have known about Islamic militancy? Back when the Vikings were around, the Muslims were relatively civilized-- more so than the Europeans, and more so than the modern Middle East. So Woden's Folk is reduced to making stuff up to claim a prophecy that never existed for a religion that is completely false. I never thought that I'd ever see someone lying for Woden.
And by the way, it should be written "Ragnarök", with an umlauted O. It isn't an English word, so the umlaut is needed. It annoys me when people do not do that. You'd think an Ásatrú (yay, more accents!) fundie would understand this.

Spot the difference?
"Islamic Militancy is the sign that heralds the Last Battle upon Middle-Earth. "
So all we have to do to defeat islamic fundies is throw the One Ring into mount Doom?
I wish you would have told us sooner, it would have saved us a trillion dollar invasion of Iraq.

With all respect Brother Rizzo - chill the fuck out. I'm sure the good folk are just having some lulz.
This is some form of fundamentalist mix'n match, norse mythology mixed with 19th century spiritualist pseudohermeticism, with a dash Tolkien agaisnt a background of anti-islamic hatred. It's like a bad advertisement against letting kids play with religion.
It's Ragnarök, or Ragnaroek if you don't have the "Ö" letter, stupid.
Odin is to be eaten alive by Loki's son, the Fenrir Wolf, who in turn will be killed by Odin's son Vidar. After the Fimbulwinter, of course.

"I don't remember seeing any suicide bombers in Lord of the Rings."
I do... Helms Deep, when an Orc threw himself at the container of powder that blew a hole in the wall.
I made the mistake of reading the rest of the article and couldn't get past how he's claiming a well known rune, easily translated to "Lake" means "Big Flood" and messages hidden in the bible. Unless everyone agrees all religions stem from Man's need to believe in something, stop mixing them up for the fear factor! Sheesh.
"Going back to Norse Mythology we find that the Twilight of the Gods is called “Ragnarok”"
The Lord of Terror (a virus in Yggdrasil) tried to start Ragnarok (by infecting Midgard, then Belldandy; but failing, ultimately possessing Keiichi Morisato); even forcing one of the Goddesses to make a 10-Dimensional Scythe to cut the superstrings of Yggdrasil, thus destroying reality. However, in his attempts to find another host, Skuld (the Norn of the Future):

Was able to lure him onto a floppy disc, pop the tab so as to make the Lord of Terror a read -only file, then destroy him with a magnet, preventing Ragnarok. >:D
Ain't technology great?! Annihilates religion every time. X3
[/"Ah My Goddess"]
Also, did anyone else suddenly get Tool stuck in their head above halfway through this?
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine.
There is discussion as to whether Ragnarök was made up some time during the conversion period and therefore should not actually be part of Norse pagan beliefs at all.
Not all of us are crazy.
Maybe the people at Woden's folk needs to look up the term metaphor in a dictionary, before sprouting such BS.
Wait...so "spelling shit backwards" counts as "an age-old technique" for decoding supernatural significance? And true meanings are only revealed when filtered through questionable Anglophone interpretations of ambiguous orthography? (If you spell "ragnarök" or "Ragnarökkr" backwards and read it as if it were an Old Norse word, the interpretation doesn't work so well. Or at all, really.)
If you really were an Odinist, you would call it Midgård, not fucking Middle-Earth. Several of my friends are Germanic Pagans, and idiots like this dude piss me off. Please stop being a stereotypical racist Pagan.
1) Ragnarök means 'final destiny of the gods', not 'twilight of the gods'. The latter is a common mistranslation.
2) 'Koran' is an approximate romanisation of the Arabic '??????'. This is the same as saying that the Latin 'Santa' is an anagram of the Hebrew ???????? (Satan).
Okay, never mind. Apparently we can't use Unicode characters >___>
WTF?!?!?!?
Rezzie
I did not know that Islam existed during the Viking times...
The Norse (as far as I know is “Viking” just the name for the guys taking part in raiding parties, not the name of the people) had trade connections all over Europe and far into the Middle East.
One of the description of the Norse tribe called “Rus” (Russia is named after them) comes from a man called Ahmad ibn Fadlan ibn al-Abbas ibn Rašid ibn Hammad , a man in the service of the Caliph of Baghdad.
So yeah, Islam and Vikings coexisted and definitely had contact.
...and going back to the manga by Kosuke Fujishima "Ah! My Goddess", we find that Keiichi Morisato - whilst possessed by the Lord of Terror - nearly started Ragnarok; but that evil deity was thwarted - and ultimately erased - by the Norn of the Future, Skuld, using nothing more than a floppy disc and a magnet.
Your point, Wooden's Fuck?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
