Valkyries - Servant or Master?

Apologies, it's another reupload - but this time, it's a talk I did in September 2022 at a pagan event. Most of this is re-recorded audio as my microphone decided to be awful.
In this talk I discuss the Valkyries and their role in the greater Nordic sphere, breaking down the information we have, and the discourse around their position as masters of fate on the battlefield. I do love the Valkyries.
Not much happens on the screen here, so feel free to minimise and just listen away.

I'll find a way of uploading all my notes for this talk, and link it in this comment.

Really interesting talk; you probably won't read this but if you do a pointer in the direction of some of your written work would be appreciated. I will look into that Seidr - Valkyrie connection though regardless. Thank you

Many thanks for your comment and apologies for the delayed reply - most of it is in physical publications and journals, though I am currently working on a book (signed with a publisher) on the connection between Valkyries and seidr. My more recent talk, found here also touches on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4mZY6BqgNZ0arssi=creDhltKrixW3-IU

Update! My book is being released in December, and has a long chapter on the Valkyries' connection with the practice of seidr. (It's called Valkyrjur, Servant or Master?).
