Valkyries wield mighty strength as warriors, part of a powerful coterie of female figures who exercise decisive control over the fate of mortal warriors, choosing who shall live to see another dawn, while condemning others to untimely death on the battlefields of their time. Unerringly picking from half of all fallen combatants - with Freyja's afterlife domain of Fólkvangr welcoming the other slain half into its fold -, these chosen female figures lead the spirits they have selected straight into Valhalla, an eternal stronghold presided over by the storied deity Odin. Here, these deceased warriors are transformed into powerful einherjar. With battles against their sworn foes merely an endless, recurrent reality - even while Odin's eventual fate is fixed - Valkyries care for and coddle the battle-hardened fighters with enchanted ale in moments of peaceful repose. Furthermore, valkyries appear in Norse sagas and verse as tender loves to heroic mortal champions, and in one particular rendition of mythology, are portrayed as nobly-born princesses. Sometimes, however - like their dark companion Ravens - Valkyries find companionship with swans, their feathered messengers symbolizing prophecy; in some retellings even a trusty steed or horses join their entourage.\nTall paper strips unrolled from metal boxes measuring 30cm in length. Pieces extracted intact for cataloging.\nFull credits to artist Eric Tristan Barrios - beautiful, painted prints shared at the reader's service##
