Valhalla, also Valhalla, Valhalla (ancient Icelandic Valhöll, Pragerm. Walhall - “palace of the fallen”) in German-Scandinavian mythology is a heavenly chamber in Asgard for those who fell in battle, a paradise for valiant warriors.
Odin rules Valhalla from Hlidskjalf. He selects half of the soldiers who fell in battle, and the Valkyries deliver them to the chamber. The other half of the fallen goes to Folkvangr (en: Fólkvangr "People's Field") to the goddess Freya.
According to legend, Valhalla is a giant hall with a roof of gilded shields, which are supported by spears. This hall has 540 doors and 800 warriors will come out through each at the call of the god Heimdall during the last battle - Ragnarok. The warriors who live in Valhalla are called einherii. Every day in the morning they put on armor and fight to the death, and then they rise and sit down at the common table to feast. They eat the meat of the boar Sehrimnir, who is slaughtered every day and every day he is resurrected. Einherria drink honey, which is milked by the goat Heidrun, standing in Valhalla and chewing the leaves of the World Tree Yggdrasil. And at night, beautiful maidens come and please the warriors until the morning.
