If you are a handsome warrior strutting your stuff on the battlefield, watch out for 40 raving beauties on flying horses descending upon the pitch. The Valkyries shriek, howl and cause total confusion. Why? Because they can grab any warrior they fancy, and take him away. There is only one rule; the bewildered champion must be dead first.
Valkyries
Minnie-ism for today:
"Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, men who say they are heroes well, they just gotta die"
So you must fight for your life, because if you fail you could be scooped up by one of these mighty and deadly beautiful valkyries and then swooped off to Valhalla which is the Heroes Heaven.There you will be forced to feast,drink gallons of mead, and fornicate all night. Sounds horrible doesn't it?

What a TERRIBLE fate! LOL. Valkyries are truly the stuff of legends. Thank you for showcasing them.

Reminds me of a Boris Vallejo painting, "The High Couch of Silistra" I used to have the poster on my wall when I was a kid.
OMG.LOL.TFF. Really. Sounds a little like Mecca.
I knew what the Valkyries were but had no idea about the death part. Poor men! :)

Hmmmm...don't tell my husband about this. Minnie-ism is hilarious.
Fascinating! I will be on the lookout for these today!
Here I thought this post was about Tom Cruise because of the title....
Still, men, hear us women roar. (ROAR)
Woman with that kind of logic all the men are going to start battling in hopes of being chosen for that HORRIBLE afterlife. lol
Wow really horrible I don't know what I would do :) I love the minnie-ism!
I love that song, The Ride of the Valkyrie, by Wagner.
I love reading about the Valkyries, they are very interesting to read about.:)
I had heard of valkyries, but I never knew they could only take a warrior only after the guy had passed on. Yikes. That's a little creepy. What a great V though!
Cat drawn chariots? Must have been some crazy strong cats. Always love your blogs.
Valkyries are awesome and oh those poor warriors, being forced to drink, eat and have sex in the after life. Wonder if they ever took any female warriors? Fantastic post. :)
