Long Answer
1. The Aesir and the Vanir are two groups of gods: the Aesir, who rule at Asgard, are more warlike, and the Vanir, who rule at Vanaheim, are more oriented toward peaceful things like crops. Although they begin as rivals, they eventually realize they need one another because a happy life requires balance, not extremes. (Various stories)
2. The serpent has its tail in its mouth, meaning that its “end” is bound up with its “beginning,” creating a circle. This symbolizes the cycle of the gods’ history because Ragnarok is a future that is contained within the very beginning of the universe. (Stories 1 and 15)
