Norse Legends — nibelung RSS

Valkyries are the choosers of the valorous dead, emissaries of Odin and even weavers of fate. They are the ones who guide the worthy to Valhalla!

Undoubtedly one of the Vikings’ favorite stories, the legend is recounted in many ancient written sources, most of them slightly different from each other. Scenes from it are depicted on a number of surviving Viking Age carvings in England, the Isle of Man, Norway and Sweden.
