#valhalla

Valhalla is not the equivalent of the christian Heaven, and Helheim is not Hel.

honestly, i don't know why you would even want to end up in Valhalla if you're not a seasoned fighter/warrior, because like... have you read the descriptions of that place? you fight and die and fight and die all over again, basically forever.

There's no right answers because it's honestly more just theory and interpretation, but I think about it sometimes and I want other perspectives

So, when you research Norse paganism and it's afterlife, you get three options (not getting into the idea of multiple soul parts and how they can go to other halls and the main 3 aren't the ONLY options, that's another discussion)

1. Valhalla

2. Fólkvangr

3. Helheim

Everyone knows the rules, you die on a battlefield as a warrior, you get to go with Odin or Freyja to Valhalla or Fólkvangr but if you die of sickness or old age, like most common folk, you get to go to Helheim

Where does that leave people who aren't really soldiers, but they do die fighting? And by that I mean people who die in riots or are killed while protesting? They didn't die of sickness or old age, they died fighting, just not on a battlefield in the traditional sense. What about people who died in like, one on one fights of some sort? It's no battlefield, but again, they went down swinging or weilding some sort of weapon.
