#volven

I publish this post because I find it interesting to break down a few things. 

As we already know in this tv series, Ragnarök is set in a different way, which I think is great, we are clear that it is Ragnarök.

Obviously we know who Thor and the giants are, we also know who these chaos monsters are (one of them Trym).

Now, it's time for my theory ... I still believe that Iman is Freya and the new images confirm it (I think).

In the next photograph we see that they talk about the Volven (many believe that it is Iman, I say not) because the Volven is a seer, prophetess or priestess, so she has her prophecies, the character that gives me these vibes is Wenche, the woman who unlocks Magne's powers, she repeatedly warns Magne or Turid, even Isolde about things that may happen.

Finally, we have the post of Freya, who is the goddess of fertility, love, which is connected with magic, war and wealth. She was also known for her charm (in the trailer we can see how Iman tells Magne that she is good at flirting) here's a wink. All these qualities of the goddess lead me to say that Iman is her, because in one of the last episodes we see how Iman tells Magne that Saxa is pretending to throw, when she really knows exactly how to do it, also in the last episode we see as he tries to cheer up Magne for everything he's been going through. 

Volven

In Norse society, a vǫlva was an elderly woman who had released herself from the strong family bonds that normally surrounded women in Norse clans. She travelled the land, usually followed by a retinue of young people, and she was summoned in times of crisis. She had immense authority and she charged well for her services.

In addition, many aristocratic Viking women wanted to serve Freyja and represent her in Midgard. They married Viking warlords who had Odin as a role model, and they settled in great halls that were earthly representations of Valhalla. In these halls there were magnificent feasts with ritualized meals, and the visiting chieftains can be likened with the einherjar, the fallen warriors who fought bravely and were served drinks by Valkyries. However, the duties of the mistresses were not limited to serving mead to visiting guests, but they were also expected to take part in warfare by manipulating weaving tools magically when their spouses were out in battle. Scholars no longer believe that these women waited passively at home, and there is evidence for their magic activities both in archaeological finds and in Old Norse sources, such as the Darraðarljóð.

An album that sounds like the forest breathing. Andrea Haugen invokes the ancestral voice of the völva, amid ritual drums, flutes, and choirs that seem to emerge from another time. Volven is pagan neofolk, but also an inner journey: a call to the memory of the sacred as a prophetic and natural force. Listening to it is like entering a trance in the rain, with the echo of the Norse gods still alive in the air.
