In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is a female figure who guides the souls of fallen warriors to Valhalla, the hall of Odin, where they become einherjar — warriors who prepare for the events of Ragnarök. Valkyries are often depicted accompanied by ravens, swans or horses, and appear in sources such as the Poetic and Prose Edda, the Heimskringla and the Njáls saga.
