Swedish postage stamp with iconic  Odin bearing spear Gungnir , charging on 8-legged Sleipnir , sided by Huginn & Muninn . At bottom, Fenrir begins his fateful swallowing of the Allfather, starting with his left leg, which makes this his doomed moment at Ragnarök .

Swedish postage stamp depicting Thor catching Jörmungandr while jötunn Hymir fears for his own safety and cuts the line. We wonder if there's a gravity and physical laws metaphor at work in this Eddic story. The p lesiosaur-styled world serpent's a neat saurian NorsePlay.

Swedish postage stamp of Freyja riding in her cat-drawn chariot , perhaps surveying the dead warriors in sparring practice for Ragnarök. The third cat is an interesting artistic NorsePlay addition, and if  Bygul & Trjegul are outsized  Norwegian Forest Cats then it even so might stand to reason another cat could be needed to claw our War Goddess forward at an even deadlier speed.
