Hide your kids, hide your wife, the Viking Apocalypse Ragnarok will be upon us this weekend!

According to information from NPR, "The end of times has been brewing for about 100 days. It all started when the wolf son of Loki broke out of prison and the giant Midgard Serpent."

Ugh, we hate when that happens.

Ragnarok will occur this Saturday (Feb. 22) which "will culminate in an epic battle. The pantheon of Norse gods — Thor, Loki, Odin, Freyr, Hermóðr, every last god — will fight, the Earth will fall into the sea, and life as we know it will cease to be."

But not everyone is running for their lives in terror. In York, England, Viking fans will be celebrating at the JORVIK Viking Festival and "will ring in Ragnarok with a parade, a staged battle, a light show and pyrotechnics."

Explained festival organizer Danielle Daglan of what is to come, "The end of the world is really an end of the world for the gods, and the world will be reborn for the human population."

Which kind of goes against that whole the Earth falling into the sea bit that we just read.

Either way, it's sure to be a fun apocalypse.

Here we come a-vikinging Among the sea so green, Here we come a-pillaging So scary to be seen. Loot and mayhem come to you, And to you a viking too, And a raaaa-rapey new year!
