Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
In Norse mythology, death in battle is not an ending. It is a selection. The Valkyries, whose name means “those who choose the slain,” ride over the battlefields for Odin, the sovereign god.
Their mission is to carry the bravest to Valhalla, the “hall of the slain.” That palace is not a paradise of rest. It is a barracks in the sky. Odin is raising an army for Ragnarök, the final battle that will destroy the world and kill the gods.
