Seats made of breastplates surround the many feasting tables of the vast hall. Its gates Vale Valhalla guarded by wolves, and eagles fly above it. The dead who reside in Valhalla, the einherjarlive a life that would have been the envy of any warrior. All day long, they fight one Vale Valhalla, doing countless valorous deeds along the way. But every evening, all their wounds are healed, and they are restored to full health. They thereby enjoy an endless supply of their exceptionally fine food and drink. The only source that provides Vale Valhalla direct statement about how people gained entrance to Valhalla is the Prose of , a thirteenth-century Icelandic scholar. Snorri wrote many generations after Norse paganism had given way to and ceased to be a living tradition, and he often went out of Vale Valhalla way to artificially systematize the disparate material in his sources many of which we, too, possess. According to Snorri, those who die in battle are taken to Valhalla, while those who die of sickness or old age find themselves in Helthe , after their departure from the land of the living. Yet Snorri blatantly contradicts this statement Vale Valhalla his account of the tale of the death of Baldurwho was killed violently and was nevertheless borne to . While entrance to Valhalla seems to have ultimately been a matter of who and his chose to live there rather than any particular impersonal standard, it seems reasonable to surmise that Odin would select those who would serve him best in his final battle. The ranks Vale Valhalla Valhalla would therefore predominantly be filled with elite warriors, especially heroes and rulers. And, indeed, when Old Norse sources mention particular people residing in Valhalla, they almost invariably fit that description — along with elite practitioners of other roles that the hall of a chieftain would have contained, such as the poet . However, other lines Vale Valhalla evidence suggest that it was at least sometimes seen as being located underground, like the more general underworld. The medieval Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus describes the hero Hadding discovering just such a place in the underworld. Evidently, the perceived no absolutely firm difference between Valhalla Vale Valhalla the Vale Valhalla halls of the dead.

Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasirand the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Valhalla has inspired various works of Vale Valhalla, publication titles, and elements of popular cultureand has become a term synonymous with a martial or otherwise hall of the chosen dead. Among related Old Norse concepts, valr also Vale Valhalla as the first element of the nouns valkyrja 'chooser of the slain, ' and Valfreyjaone of the goddess 's several names. It is cognate to Modern English hall and has the same meaning. As philologists such as Calvert Watkins have Vale Valhalla, the same Indo-European root produced Old Norse proper noun employed for both the name of another afterlife Vale Valhalla and a supernatural female entity who oversees it, as well as the modern English noun . Odin describes Valhalla as shining and golden, and that it "rises peacefully" when seen from afar. From Valhalla, every day Odin chooses from those who have died in combat. Valhalla has -shafts for rafters, a roof Vale Valhalla with shields, coats of mail are strewn over its benches, a wolf hangs in front of its west doors, and an eagle hovers above it. Within Valhalla exists 's hall Bilskirnirand within it exist five hundred and forty rooms, and of all the halls within Valhalla, Odin states that he thinks his son's may be greatest. In stanza 38, Helgi's glory there is described:. So was Helgi beside the chieftains like the bright-growing ash beside the thorn-bush and the young stag, drenched in dew, who surpasses all other animals and whose horns glow against the sky itself. Prose follows after this stanza, stating that a burial-mound was made for Helgi, and Vale Valhalla when Helgi arrived in Valhalla, he was asked by Odin to manage things with him. In stanza 39, Helgi, now in Valhalla, has his former enemy Hunding—also in Valhalla—do menial tasks; fetching foot-baths for all of Vale Valhalla men there, Vale Valhalla fire, tying dogs, keeping watch Vale Valhalla horses, and feeding the pigs before he can get any sleep. In stanzas Vale Valhalla to 42, Helgi has returned to from Valhalla with a host of men. Valhalla is first mentioned in chapter 2 of the book Gylfaginningwhere it is described partially in euhemerized form. In the chapter, King Vale Valhalla sets out to in the guise of an old man going by the name of Gangleri to find the source of the power of the gods. As he continues, Gangleri sees a man in the doorway of the hall juggling short swords, and keeping seven in the air at once. Among other things, the man says that the hall belongs to his king, and adds that he can take Gangleri to the king. Gangleri follows him, and Vale Valhalla door closes behind him. All around him he sees many living areas, and throngs of people, some of Vale Valhalla are playing games, some are drinking, and others are fighting with weapons. Gangleri sees three thrones, and three figures sitting upon them: High sitting on the lowest throne, Just-As-High sitting on the next highest throne, and Third sitting on the highest. The man guiding Gangleri tells him that High is the Vale Valhalla of the hall. In chapter 20, Third states that Odin mans Valhalla with the : the dead who fall in battle and become Odin's adopted sons. High continues that the valkyries are sent by Odin to every battle, where they choose who is to die, and determine victory. In chapter 38, Gangleri says: "You say that all men who have fallen in battle from the beginning of the world are now with Odin in Valhalla. With what Vale Valhalla he feed them? I should think the crowd there is large. Gangleri asks Vale Valhalla Odin himself eats the same food as the Einherjar, and High responds that Odin needs nothing to eat—Odin only consumes wine—and he gives his food to his wolves Geri and Freki. High additionally states that at sunrise, Odin sends his ravens Huginn and Muninn from Valhalla to fly throughout the entire world, and they return in time for the first meal there. In chapter 39, Gangleri asks about the food and drinks the Vale Valhalla consume, and asks if only water is available there. The goat Vale Valhalla so much in a day that it fills a massive vat large enough for all of the Einherjar in Valhalla to satisfy their thirst from it. So much moisture drips from his Vale Valhalla that it falls down to the well Hvelgelmir, resulting in numerous rivers. In chapter 41, Gangleri says that Odin seems to be quite a powerful lord, as he controls quite a big army, but he yet wonders how the Einherjar keep themselves busy when they are not drinking. High replies that daily, after they've dressed and put on their war gear, they go out to the courtyard and battle one another in one-on-one combat for sport. Then, when mealtime comes, they ride home to Valhalla and drink. In chapter 42, High describes that "right at the beginning, when the gods were settling" they had established Vale Valhalla and then built Valhalla. There, numerous gods feast, they have plenty of strong meadand the hall has wall-panels covered with attractive shields. What sort of dream is that, Odin? I dreamed I rose up before dawn to clear up Val-hall for slain people. Vale Valhalla aroused Vale Valhalla Einheriar, bade them get up to strew the benches, Vale Valhalla the beer-cups, the valkyries to serve wine for the arrival of a prince. Eventually, the gods tire of his boasting and invoke Thor, who arrives. states that he is under the Aesir's protection as a guest and therefore he can't be harmed while in Valhalla. After an exchange of words, Hrungnir challenges Thor to a duel at the location of Griotunagardarresulting in Hrungnir's death. In chapter 34, the tree is stated as located Vale Valhalla front of the doors of Valhalla. The tree is described as having foliage of red gold and being the most beautiful tree among both gods and men. A quote from a work by the Vale Valhalla century is presented that confirms the description. Valhalla is mentioned in euhemerized form and as an element of remaining Norse pagan belief in . In chapter 8 of Ynglinga sagathe "historical" Odin is described as ordaining burial laws over his country. These laws include that all the dead are Vale Valhalla be burned on a pyre on a burial mound with their possessions, and their ashes are to be brought out to sea or buried in the earth. The dead would then arrive in Valhalla Vale Valhalla everything that one had on their pyre, and whatever one had hidden in the ground. In chapter 8 of Fagrskinnaa prose states that after the death of her husband Eric BloodaxeGunnhild Mother of Kings had a poem composed about him. I waked the Einherjar, bade valkyries rise Vale Valhalla, to strew the bench, and scour the beakers, wine to carry, as for a Vale Valhalla coming, here to me I expect heroes' coming from the world, certain great ones, so is my heart. The god Bragi asks where a thundering sound is coming from, and says that the Vale Valhalla of Valhalla are creaking—as if the god had returned to Valhalla—and that it sounds like the movement of a thousand. Odin responds that Bragi knows well that the sounds are for , who will soon arrive in Valhalla. asks Odin why he would expect Vale Valhalla more than any other king, Vale Valhalla which Odin responds that Eric has reddened his gore-drenched sword with many other lands. Eric arrives, and Sigmund greets him, tells him that he is welcome to come into the hall, and asks him what other lords he has brought with him to Valhalla. Eric says that with him are five kings, that he will tell them the name of them all, and that he, himself, is the sixth. In this illustration from a 17th-century Icelandic manuscript, Heimdall is shown guarding the gate of Valhalla. The concept of Valhalla continues to have influence in modern popular culture.
