The river \"Thund\" flows protectively around Gladsheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The roof of Valhalla is covered with battle shields, and the walls are built of spears - as can be read in the Edda \"Grimnismal 9\".\u003cbr\u003e Valhalla is of enormous size: there are 540 gates; through each of these gates 800 Einherjar can simultaneously enter or march out to battle - as can be read in the Edda \"Grimnismal 23\". \u003cbr\u003eIn the center of Valhalla stands the world tree \"Läradr,\" which is highly likely to be the same as the world ash \"Yggdrasil.\" The goat \"Heidrun\" eats the leaves from the branches of \"Läradr,\" and so much mead flows from her udder that all Einherjar can be amply supplied with it daily.\u003cbr\u003e Every day, Odin's Einherjar warriors clash in battle. In the evenings, everyone gathers in Odin's hall for a grand feast. The Valkyries serve beer and mead, and daily the boar Sæhrímnir is slaughtered and eaten. The cook and grill master in Valhalla is called Andhrímnir (Soot-Face), whose face is blackened from constantly standing by the cauldron of fire.\u003cbr\u003e Every day, the boar Sæhrímnir miraculously comes back to life and must be slaughtered, prepared, and cooked over the fire again. \u003cbr\u003eThe Valkyries also have the task of collecting the honorably fallen warriors on the battlefields and bringing them to Valhalla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Among the Vikings, it was customary to hold one's sword in hand when dying - combined with the belief that one would then go to Valhalla to live and celebrate there with Odin for eternity.\u003cbr\u003e Other “warriors”, who had distinguished themselves as cowards during their lifetime in Midgard, had to spend the rest of their lives in the desolate and unpopular Helheim under the care of the death goddess Hel!\u003cbr\u003e The really bad \"scoundrels\", who had distinguished themselves in Midgard as, for example, perjurers, murderers and adulterers, were sent to Nastrond (Náströnd) into eternal exile, an even more desolate place which also belongs to Helheim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e It may certainly be more difficult to reach Valhalla in modern times... - but our gaze and faith should always be directed towards Valhalla! \u003cbr\u003eThrough heroism, sincerity, perseverance and willingness to sacrifice, one may hopefully secure one's place - alongside the many Einherjar warriors and ancestors whom we may then meet and see again in Valhalla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe belt buckle is meant to be worn as a reminder and in remembrance of our ancestors...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWe will all meet again in Valhalla, if we only want to....\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Belt buckle \"Walhalla\", made of high-quality tin, partially enamelled and gilded - suitable for belts with a width of up to 4.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Width: approx. 90 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Height: approx. 60 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Weight: approx. 125 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#ff0000;\"\u003ePrice per piece - without decoration!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nordwelt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52350540349777,"sku":"55.022","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9821\/9345\/files\/55-022-valhalla-walhalla-buckles-guertelschnalle-vergoldet_b8a5f879-b3b1-448e-933e-1417d2e2cef3.png?v=1763088085","url":"https:\/\/nordwelt-versand.de\/en\/products\/g-rtelschnalle-valhalla-walhalla-zinn-teilweise-vergoldet","provider":"nordwelt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
