Who Were the Valkyries?
In Norse mythology, Valkyries were warrior maidens who served Odin. Their name means “Chooser of the Slain.”
They selected brave souls from battlefields to join Odin in Valhalla, the hall of heroes. Riding on horses or swans, Valkyries inspired warriors and protected the fate of the world.
Today, the Valkyrie is a symbol of independent strength, loyalty, and feminine courage.
