Angels of Death or Protectors of Heroes? The True Role of Valkyries

In this episode of LEGENDS REIMAGINED, we explore the Valkyries, the fierce and enigmatic warrior maidens of Norse mythology. Known as the Choosers of the Slain, Valkyries rode into battlefields, selecting fallen warriors to escort to Valhalla, Odin’s great hall of the afterlife. But these mystical beings were more than just battle spirits—they were central to the fate of both gods and men.

Delve into the hidden roles of Valkyries, their powers, and their connection to destiny, love, and prophecy. We also uncover one of the most famous Norse legends involving a Valkyrie—the story of Sigurd and Brynhildr, a tale of betrayal, magic, and doomed love. Brynhildr, a Valkyrie punished by Odin, becomes a pivotal figure in one of mythology’s greatest tragedies.
