Valkyries Poetic Edda

30 Father of Hosts chose for her rings and necklaces,
treasure, wise speech, and spirits of divination;
she saw widely, widely about every world.

31 She saw valkyries coming from far and wide,
ready to ride to the gods’ realm;
Skuld shouldered one shield, Skogul was another,
Gunn, Hild, Gondul, and Geir-skogul—
now the General’s ladies are counted up,
valkyries ready to ride over the earth.
