Valkyrie
Valkyrie · Warrior Maidens — Choosers of the Slain in Norse Mythology
Valkyrie (Old Norse Valkyrja — 'chooser of the slain', English Valkyrie) is the female semi-divine being of Norse mythology — the decisive canon — who guides the souls of warriors to the war god Odin (Odin), derived from the Old Norse 'valr (the slain)' + 'kjósa (to choose)' meaning 'chooser of the slain (chooser of the slain)' — the decisive canonical vocabulary — the decisive canonical iconographic figure who decides who falls gloriously on the battlefield and guides the souls of dead heroes to the gods' hall Valhalla (Valhalla) to gather the army (Einherjar) for the final war of Ragnarok. Aliases — Valkyrja (Valkyrja), Walküre (Walküre, German), chooser of the slain, Odin's handmaid, Dísir (Dísir) — are the decisive canonical vocabulary. The decisive textual canon is the decisive origin canon of the Völuspá (Völuspá), Grímnismál (Grímnismál), and Helgakviða Hundingsbana (Helgakviða Hundingsbana) of the Poetic Edda (Poetic Edda) in the Codex Regius (Codex Regius) of c. 1270, and the decisive canon of Gylfaginning (Gylfaginning) Chapter 36 of the Prose Edda (Prose Edda) of Snorri Sturluson (Snorri Sturluson) of c. 1220.
