The signs of Ragnarok are upon us and the Valkyries ride to Odin's side! I once again took inspiration from my painting "Liberty or Death" for the Valkyrie design.

Voluspa - Norse Mythology Book - Verse 31

 “On all sides saw I |  Valkyries assemble,

Ready to ride |  to the ranks of the gods;

Skuld bore the shield, |  and Skogul rode next,

Guth, Hild, Gondul, |  and Geirskogul.

Of Herjan’s maidens |  the list have ye heard,

Valkyries ready |  to ride o’er the earth.”
