Mythology[]
“ | The Disablot was an annual sacrificial festival in honor of the Disir, a Norse term that variously refers to the female deities of Asgard and Vanaheim, Valkyries, and Norns (fates). A variety of Old Norse-Icelandic literary sources attest that its purpose was to procur the favor of these deities - who oversaw a variety of spheres of life, from fortune and warfare to the quality of a harvest. Rather uniquely among the Scandinavian pre-Christian rituals that are known to posterity, the Disablot was primarily carried out by women. | ” |

“ | The aurora borealis, or "northern lights", consist of flickering rainbow colors that can be seen in clear skies at high latitudes. The lights were said by the Norse to be caused by the glittering armor of the Valkyries as they rode across the northern night sky. | ” |
