Valkyries - Chalice / Valkyria Valkyrie, Polyresin / Stainless Steel
Bronze-colored goblet "Valkyrie", made of polyresin (artificial stone) - stainless steel insert, removable for cleaning.
Valkyrie also battle-maiden or shieldmaiden from the retinue of the Allfather Odin (Wotan). The Valkyries gave the Einherjar their final escort from the battlefield to Valhalla to the Allfather, god of war and death Wotan (Odin).
The Valkyrie waits at a distance at the edge of the battlefield to escort the fallen heroes to Valhalla. Only those who find death on the battlefield are chosen by the Valkyries. All others are expected by the goddess Hel in the underworld after death.
Valkyria is the Old Norse word for Valkyries. Wal stands for "heap of slain" and kyria stands for "chooser". The warrior maidens 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. 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.
The warrior maidens live in Valhalla, as do the Einherjar. Their residence in Valhalla is Wingolf, the hall of friendship.
The Vikings saw the Northern Lights as a sign of the Valkyries' presence on Earth. Somewhere on Earth a great battle was fought, they believed. The moon reflected the golden armor of the Valkyries as they rode across the battlefield and selected the Einherjar. This is how the Northern Lights were conjured into the sky.
