    Default Is Valhalla the Heaven of Nordic mythology?

    As I understand in Nordic mythology there are several places where the dead go, but the closest to heaven would be Valhalla?

    Isn't Valhalla for warriors who died in battle only? Not everyone is admitted.

    Yes, but according to the descriptions, Valhalla was a paradise, a beautiful and pleasing place that any warrior (or people) would like to live, instead Helheim/Hell was the opposite cold and darkness where souls wandered aimlessly.

    Valhala for those who died in battle.
    Nifflheim for those who died by other means/aging.

    Asgard could also be considered like a Heaven since it's where Gods reside (at least the Aesir). Valhala is located in Asgard.
    Vanaheim too, but it's specifically for the Vanir (other kind of Gods).
    I remember there was also a "Valhala" equivalent in Vanaheim but I don't remember its name.

    According to what I have investigated, most of the people who did not die in the battle arrived in Helheim.
    Helgafell and Fólkvangr they were other places where souls were going.

    No, it's just another concept they ripped off from the Corded Ware culture.


    In reality, everyone in Europe who is not an R1a man goes to Hell.

    Valhalla would have been the best outcome possible, as far as the majority of male northerners were considered, in relevant periods?
    If you see a post in red font made by my username, that means that it is Pompey's post, not mine.
