The elite shieldmaidens of Odin, the Valkyries had the task of bringing the warriors who died with valor to the realm of Valhalla to join the ranks of the Einherjar. The Valkyries have been glorified and romanticized more so than any other psychopomp in mythology, but is there more than meets the eye with these beautiful spirits?
