Halls of valhalla

Gates of Valhalla @norse___mythology Wallpaper version is in my story.(It is going to be added to the "Wallpapers" highlight.)…

The place that all of Viking warriors wanted to spend their afterlife was Valhalla Odin's Hall. The Vikings believed that as long as they fought as bravely as they could in the battle, if they died, gods would spare them a room in Valhalla to feast. But besides Valhalla, would the brave Viking warrior have another afterlife option? The answer is, yes they would. It was Folkvang of Freyja.

01. Valhalla is just one of the halls that dead Viking warriors go after death. Half of the fallen are chosen by Odin for Valhalla and the other half are chosen by Freyja for Folkvangr. #norse #fiction #fantasy #wtf #myth #mythological #creature #epic

Asgard, valhalla,

Valhalla is one of two halls where dead Viking warriors go after death—Odin selects half for Valhalla, while Freyja chooses the other half for Folkvangr.

In the Viking age, the belief of Valhalla was deeply implanted onto the mindset of every Viking. Thereby, in case they served in the army, they would fight nonstop with enthusiasm. Because they knew there was a beautiful afterlife awaited. The warriors that lived with Odin in Valhalla would take Odin’s side in Ragnarok. On that important event, no warrior survived.
