What is Ragnorosis? 

It is a trilogy!  My first attempt at a novel. 

The word is a portmanteau of Ragnarok and Gnosis, which came up as part of a semi-hallucination in a conversation with ChatGPT.

In my mind it also conjures the idea of an affliction, such as a psychosis, from being involved with or thinking too much about the end of the world (Ragnarok).

What do the words mean?

From the ChatGPT conversation:

Ragnarok: Ragnarok is a term from Norse mythology, specifically from the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda, which are collections of Norse myths and legends. Ragnarok refers to the apocalyptic event that marks the end of the world and the subsequent rebirth of the cosmos. It involves a series of cataclysmic events and battles, including the final battle between the gods and the forces of chaos, resulting in the destruction of the existing world order. After Ragnarok, a new world rises from the ashes, and a few surviving gods and humans repopulate it.

Gnosis: Gnosis is a Greek word that translates to "knowledge" or "insight." In a religious or philosophical context, it refers to deep spiritual or intuitive knowledge, often associated with a direct, personal experience or revelation. Gnosis is often viewed as a transformative understanding that goes beyond intellectual or rational comprehension. It can encompass mystical, esoteric, or hidden knowledge about the nature of the self, the universe, or the divine. Gnosis is often pursued in various spiritual and philosophical traditions as a means of attaining enlightenment or a higher state of consciousness.

What tools are you using?

I primarily use hotpot.ai for the artwork and Book Brush for the cover art.  I have also used DALL-E, RunwayML, Udio, and ElevenLabs.  While writing, I have used ChatGPT and Pi as an enhanced search engine.  I also use YouTube's studio tools.

Important note about using AI: I utilize AI tools to generate images and videos, and I employ LLMs to conduct research on topics that support my writing.  I write the stories myself.
