Here are some works of art that I created with artificial intelligence and are supposed to represent the midgard serpent from Norse mythology, which is also known as a snake of enormous size and envelops the whole world with its power. As the father, the god Loki is known and the place of residence is known as the sea and before that the snake still lived on land, but it was quickly recognized its danger and Odin decided to throw it into the sea and quickly the snake grew more and more and if it moved too fast it even happened that disasters broke out. When Odin threw her into the water she was still very small and and in her adult size she could even cause a low tide when she was thirsty and she is so huge that she could bite herself in the tail and she is also often associated with Ouroboros which is of great importance in alchemy and is often associated with transformation processes. The head of the snake was so large that it could even eat a giant with one bite and the snake is also known under the name Jörmungandr and it is also often associated with occultism and plays a particularly huge role in the end times legend ragnarok where it has been waiting in the sea for years to fight against the gods. During the Ragnarok she is killed by thor but then he breathes in her poison and dies himself and her poison becomes also the doom for numerous others and in general she appears in many other legends and has the special task of separating different worlds. Symbolically, the midgard serpent is also associated with the subconscious and also in the visual arts, it is also occasionally represented and is often used by artists as a motif.
