Valkyrie, bronze-colored

Valkyrie, bronze-colored

Valkyria is the Old Norse word for Valkyries. Wal stands for "heap of the slain" and kyria stands for "chooser". These warrior women are both Odin's helpers and his daughters. They fulfill the wishes of the All-Father, choose the warriors who have fallen in battle, and bring them to him. Valkyries can also intervene in battles and determine fate. The role of the Valkyries is therefore similar to that of the three Norns. It is believed that the youngest Norn, Skuld, was also a Valkyrie.
Like the Einherjar, the warrior women live in Valhalla. Their residence in Valhalla is Wingolf, the hall of friendship.
In the Northern Lights, the Vikings saw a sign of the Valkyries' presence on Earth. Somewhere on Earth a great battle was being fought, they believed. The moon reflected the golden armor of the Valkyries, when they rode over the battlefield and chose the Einherjar. This is how the Northern Lights were conjured into the sky.
