Post Is Ragnorak the end ?
After Ragnorak will that be it or will the entire cycle restart again ? If so does it not make the past actions/events leading up to the previous Ragnorak pointless ?

Given that Balder is 'held in reserve' in the manner he is, it appears to be the end of one Cycle and the start of another, so complete that its wyrd cannot be known by the Gods today. And IO don't think this somehow makes our actions pointless; we mortal spirits still make the bulk of the fighters on that day. Everything we do affects what comes, and what comes beyond that as well.

Can you explain more about Balder being in reserve?

Sure. Balder's assassination by Loki [via trickery] was something the Gods mourned, but Odin was aware and he is a long-planner. By allowing Balder to perish, Balder winds up safe as it were, in Hel, where he is preserved to emerge as the leader God, once the danger of Ragnarok is passed. The souls in Hel and Valhol come out for the battle; Hel itself is not involved territory, so Balder will remain in a kind of haven from the chaos, and come out afterward to act in his father's former place, for the next Age.

Very interesting... So is Hel sort of a 'germ-realm' from which the rest of the universe dissolves in, and proceeds from, with the presiding deity of Hel passing from father to son every cycle, with the essential Odin, as the 'all-father' being the ultimate presiding presence?

Please feel free to let me know straight up that I'm interpreting this through my own errant lens if that's the case.

In what way? It has not yet occurred, and if there was an age before Ginnungagap, we have no idea what happened then.

Isnt it an endless cycle of fighting and death ? You said that Balder will take Odins place right ? Will the same events albiet diffrent transpire again ?

We have no way of knowing.
