I am a sucker for ancient
cultures’ predictions about the end of the world. So I was bummed that I only learned about Ragnarok on Friday! You know, Ragnarok—the Viking end of the
world. A Viking history center in York
(England, not PA) was spreading the story that Ragnarok was going to occur this
past Saturday. It turns out they just made
that last part up and there is no date set for Ragnarok, but for awhile
there it was cool to think about: the Midgard snake Jormungand rising from
the sea…
What an interesting shoe. The Tabbis
by Ivanka Trump has a lot of different pieces to it, but it nicely represents
Jormungand’s story: the coils of the snake at the toe; the mottled blues and
purples of the seas it’s rising from (in snakeskin, no less!). The three-inch heel is capped in shining
silver, and an ankle strap completes the look.
Yours for $77 from 6pm.
… a wolf devouring the sun…
The Calida
by Kiss N Tell is gray and furry like the wolf, and the 5.75-inch heel and
1.75-inch heel will help you reach the sun, certainly! I think my favorite part is the buckle around
the back—but you can’t collar a wolf, baby!
Find them at Rakuten
for $30.
… Surtr
covering the earth in fire, causing the entire world to burn…
This pair of heels is red hot! You send in a pair of shoes you want
embellished, and you get them back aflame with red and black glitter and silver
rhinestones. Etsy seller Made
by Bunny will charge you $120 for the labor and materials.
…and then pretty much all the gods die. And all the people too. But I’m kind of glad Ragnarok hasn’t come
yet, since I was bummed I didn’t have time to get a valkyre helmet in time for
the occasion. But now I do! Let’s see… Ragnarok will begin after a
three-year winter, they say, and if this winter is any indication, 2017 it is!
