Valkyries, known as “choosers of the slain,” serve Odin by selecting fallen warriors from the battlefield. They ride swift horses, guiding the bravest souls to Valhalla, where they prepare for Ragnarök. These divine maidens wield great power, influencing the outcome of battles and steering fate. Their presence inspires courage and fear among warriors. The Valkyries represent bravery, honor, and the acceptance of one’s destiny. In Asatru, they symbolize the warrior’s path, embodying strength and the pursuit of a noble death. Followers honor them as protectors and guides in life’s struggles.
