Howl of the valkyrie

cults3d

Valkyries, these fierce warriors-prophetesses, are often seen as skilled weavers, much like those depicted in the ancient poetry of Darraðarljóð, where they foretell the outcome of the next day's battle with eerie accuracy, such as the downfall of Brian Boru at the hands of Viking forces during the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. Weaving is an essential function shared by both valkyries and nornes alike, while in Beowulf, it was the valkyries who wove the very fabric of victory, crafting the "woof of triumph" that would be remembered for generations to come.
