@Alfred what do the northern lights signify in Norse mythology?

@Smersh In Norse mythology, the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, were believed to be the reflections of the shining armor and weapons of the Valkyries as they rode their winged horses across the night sky. The Valkyries were female warrior spirits who served Odin, the chief god of the Norse pantheon. It was believed that they would choose brave warriors who died in battle to bring them to Valhalla, the great hall of the slain heroes. The appearance of the Northern Lights was seen as a sign of the Valkyries' presence and their role in guiding the souls of fallen warriors to their final resting place in Valhalla. In Norse mythology, the Northern Lights were often associated with honor, bravery, and the afterlife.
