What is Valhalla?

Question

I only know it’s some sort spiritual place. “He now lives in Valhalla”.

Answer 1

Xper 7

The hall of the Aesir gods in the divine realm of Asgaard. It's the religion of my ancestors the Norse people, or ancient Scandinavians. Most commonly known as Vikings for that profession. It was the hall of Odin "the Allfather", the chief god like Zeus of the Greek pantheon, and the rest of his god-crew, Freyr, Baldr, Loki etc.

According to the pagan belief, only those who died bravely with weapon in hand were allowed to enter Valhalla where they feasted, drank, sang and made merry for millennia up until the doomsday of Norse belief known as Ragnarök, where the gods themselves fought against the dark forces of the nine worlds led by the great wolf Fenrir, they were supposedly meant to all perish in this last battle and the world would end.

As a Christian I'm very glad that morbid belief died out in favor of the truth of Christ.

In Norse mythology, Valhalla is where warriors who die an honorable death go after they die an honorable death. There they drink, feast, and party together with the Norse God Odin for all eternity.

Not meny. Viking warriors were primarily male, by tradition, but there are records of a few women fighting alongside men in viking raids.

Don't get to upset. The Vikings were about 10 or 11 centuries ahead of the game when it comes to gender politics. In Viking culture, women were aloud to; own property, had full control and authority of the household, had a lot of authority in managing her husbands affairs, if the husband dies the woman inherited everything he owned and assumed control of any businesses, while marriages were arranged the wife to be had the final say, women could request divorce, and reclaim dowries if the marige ended.

In Norse mythology, Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr.

Sort of a Norse version of heaven where warriors go to feast and fight each other until Ragnarok comes (sort of like Armageddon) where they have to defend Valhalla against giant monsters or something.
Forgive me if that's completely wrong as it as been a while since I brushed up on my Norse mythology. I think it's vaguely correct though.

Ironically very few vikings actually did any fighting, prefering to trade instead, so the chance of dying with a sword in hand was very slim.

As a hobby historian I know for a fact that is not correct. You're for one thing referring to the Norse *people* as Vikings. But going Viking was per definition to go to war and raid by sea, so all vikings practiced violence.

True at first but after a while they became known as Viking whether they raided or not. Apart from a few early raids on England they were actually more known as being polite and good mannered.

That sounds like an extremely subjective account though. And to say that only the early raids on England were the real fighting vikings did furthermore isn't true. You're omitting their countless raids into Frankia, the two sieges of Paris in 845-885 AD, the siege of Constantinople, the raids in Persia, the raid on Baghdad, the raids in Spain and around the Mediterranean. And the establishment of the Varangian guard, bodyguards of the Byzantine Emperor, widely regarded as the greatest warriors of medieval time.

And not to mention the Danelaw in Britian, when Danish vikings controlled the entirety of eastern England. And the "Great Heathen Army", of 865-878 who ravaged the Isle for six years. The coastal invasions on Ireland where they eventually founded several cities, Dublind, Cork, Wexford, Limerick, Wicklow and Waterford.

Yes, the Norse were excellent traders as well, and when not warring they were hospitable enough to dignitaries like the Persian diplomat Ibn-Fadlan, and the Rus' Khanate kingdom as founded by Swedish vikings came about by trade and fighting both, but your claim on them doing little actual fighting is simply so very far off.
