How do we make sense of endings—personal, global, spiritual? In this episode of the None But Curious Podcast, we explore one of the most enduring and dramatic themes in human storytelling: apocalyptic myths.
Across cultures and centuries, we've told stories about how the world might end. But these tales aren't just about destruction—they're about renewal, moral reckoning, and transformation.
In this episode, we cover:
Why stories of the apocalypse appear in nearly every culture
Common themes in end-of-world myths: destruction, rebirth, and cosmic justice
The Norse myth of Ragnarok and its cycle of fire, frost, and renewal
The Hindu concept of Kali Yuga, a dark age leading to restoration
The Christian vision in the Book of Revelation, from chaos to the New Jerusalem
How these myths reflect societal fears and hopes—then and now
What apocalyptic stories can teach us about personal change, identity shifts, and transformation
A reflection on how we each face endings in our own lives
These aren't just ancient stories. They're mirrors—offering insight into how we understand loss, change, and what's possible after everything falls apart.
Whether you're spiritual, agnostic, or just deeply curious, this episode is a powerful reminder that endings are also beginnings.
