Valkyrie Zip Hoodie

In the Norse mythology female death senses. Odin sends them out to keep an eye on all wars and battles, and lets them "kjósa val" (choose casualties), i.e. decide who will fall in battle.

Valkyrie takes the fallen with her to Åsgard, where they become unicorns. Only the truly valiant warriors are worthy of becoming a ruler, because in Åsgard they must fight side by side with the gods. In Valhall, Odin and Frøya divide the fallen between them - half go to Odin in Valhall, while the other, the less bloodthirsty, and more honorable, come to Frøya in Folkvang.

Clad in full armor and armed, they can ride through air and water, all over the world. They always travel in packs. In Valhall, they serve mead and meat from the pig Særimne, and entertain aesirs and einherjs. Some Valkyries cause discord between the Einherians, and can therefore only be used for the lowest pursuits.

Valkyrie quatrain

A number of royal quatrains have valkyrie motifs, such as the Edda poems about Helge Hundingsbane. Harald's squadron in Fagrskinna, attributed to Torbjørn Hornklove, depicts the battle in Hafrsfjord, shaped like a conversation between a valkyrie and a raven.The memorial quatrain of Håkon the Good, Håkonar target, describes how King Håkon is brought to Valhalla by two Valkyries. Darradar sound (Spear Song) i Njål's saga about the battle of Clontarf depicts twelve Valkyries at the loom, where they beat the loom with human intestines and thus decide the course of the battle, a purely visionary poem inspired by Irish poetry.

Some of the Valkyries are mentioned in Grimness target:

Hrist and Mist
shall my horn bring me
Skeggjold and Skogul
Hild and Trud
Hlokk and Hærfjotur
Goll and Geirölul
Randgrid and Rådgrid
and Reginleif;
will bring the einherjene beer

When the widow Ragnhild Tregagås confessed to practicing sorcery during an interrogation at the rectory in Fusa in 1324, she explained that - with the intention of destroying her husband Bård's marriage - she had hidden five peas and five loaves of bread in his and the bride's bed and put a sword close by, while from her hiding place in the bedroom she called upon the valkyr Gøndul, mentioned in Skaldkar goal:

I send from me the spirits of Gøndul.

May the first bite you in the back. May the second bite you in the chest.

May the third bring you hatred and envy.
