Black t-shirt "Victory or Valhalla" Valhalla, Valhalla, Valhöll - Wotan's Hall.

Valhalla is the residence and mead hall of Odin in Asgard.
Valhalla is located in Frohheim (Gladsheim, Old Norse Glaðsheimr, 'shining home') in the Glesnir grove.
Gladsheim is decorated with gold and precious stones. The river "Thund" flows protectively around Gladsheim.

The roof of Valhalla is covered with combat shields, and the walls are built of spears - as read in the Edda "Grimnismal 9".
Valhalla is of enormous size: there are 540 doors; through each of these doors, 800 Einherjar can march in or out for battle simultaneously - as read in the Edda "Grimnismal 23".
In the middle of Valhalla stands the world tree "Läradr", which is highly likely to be equated with the world ash tree "Yggdrasil". The goat "Heidrun" eats the leaves from the branches of "Läradr", and so much mead flows from her udders that all Einherjar can be plentifully supplied with it daily.
Every day, Odin's Einherjar - warriors - test their strength in battle. In the evening, everyone meets in Odin's hall for a great feast and banquet. The Valkyries serve beer and mead, and the boar Sæhrímnir is slaughtered and consumed anew each day. The cook and grill master in Valhalla is named "Andhrimnir" (soot-face), whose face is blackened/sooted from standing constantly by the fire cauldron.
Every day, the boar Sæhrímnir comes back to life in a miraculous way and must be slaughtered, prepared, and cooked over the fire again.
The Valkyries also have the task of collecting the honorably fallen warriors from the battlefields and bringing them to Valhalla.

It was a custom among the Vikings to hold their sword in their hand when dying - linked to the belief that they would then go to Valhalla to live and celebrate eternally with Odin.
Other "warriors" who distinguished themselves as cowards during their lifetime in Midgard had to spend their further existence in the bleak and unpopular Helheim with the death goddess Hel!
The really bad "scoundrels" who had stood out in Midgard as, for example, perjurers, murderers, and adulterers, went to Nastrond (Náströnd) in eternal exile, an even bleaker place that also belongs to Helheim.

It may certainly be more difficult to get to Valhalla in this day and age... - but our gaze and faith should always turn in the direction of Valhalla!
Through heroism, sincerity, perseverance, and sacrifice, one may hopefully secure one's place - alongside the many Einherjar warriors and ancestors whom we might then meet and see again in Valhalla.

The t-shirt is intended to be worn as a reminder and in commemoration of our ancestors...
We will all see each other again in Valhalla, if only we so desire....
