This may be a canting flag, since Midgard is a snake in Norse mithology.

Midgard snake (Midhgardhsormr) keeps the world in place by clasping it into its rings. When the snake relaxes, a generalized flood shall occur and the world shall disappear during the so-called Ragnarok Fate-of-the-Powers, very often mispelled Ragnarokr, Twilight-of-the-Powers Midgard snake is compared to Yggdrasill, the ash tree which supports the world with its branches. When Yggdrasill collapses, the world shall disappear. Source: Encyclopaedia Universalis.
