Maud (1865 - 1903).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Valkyria is the Old Norse word for Valkyrie. \"Wal\" means \"heap of slain\" and \"kyria\" means \"chosen one.\" These warriors are both Odin's helpers and his daughters. They fulfill the wishes of the Allfather, choose the warriors fallen in battle, and bring them to him. The Valkyries can also intervene in battles and determine fate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The function of the Valkyries is therefore similar to that of the three Norns. It is assumed that the youngest Norn, Skuld, was also a Valkyrie.\u003cbr\u003e The warrior women, like the Einherjar, live in Valhalla. Their residence in Valhalla is Wingolf, the Hall of Friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Vikings saw the Northern Lights as a sign of the Valkyries' presence on Earth. They believed a great battle was being fought somewhere on Earth. The moon reflected the Valkyries' golden armor as they rode across the battlefield, choosing the Einherjar. According to legend, this conjured the Northern Lights into the sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Poster - Size: 70 x 50 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The \"Nordwelt\" lettering is of course NOT printed on the original poster supplied!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The item is shipped rolled up in a package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OHV- Verlag in der \"Lesen \u0026 Schenken Verlagsauslieferung und Versandgesellschaft mbH\"","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52350077829457,"sku":"69.139","price":10.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/9821\/9345\/files\/69-139-ritt-der-walkuere-odins-jungfrauen-poster-kunstdruck_61448dec-5db5-42cc-8193-cb68fe50696d.jpg?v=1763078692","url":"https:\/\/nordwelt-versand.de\/en\/products\/ritt-der-walk-ren-poster-kunstdruck","provider":"nordwelt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
