ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO THE HALLS OF YOUR ANCESTORS?

There are some things that you should know:

Valhalla, Old Norse Valhöll, in Norse mythology, the hall of slain warriors, who live there blissfully under the leadership of the god Odin. Valhalla is depicted as a splendid palace, roofed with shields, where the warriors feast on the flesh of a boar slaughtered daily and made whole again each evening. They drink liquor that flows from the udders of a goat, and their sport is to fight one another every day.

Thus they will live until the Ragnarok (Doomsday), when they will march out the 540 doors of the palace to fight at the side of Odin against the giants. When heroes fall in battle it is said that Odin chooses roughly half of them to strengthen his forces for the Ragnarok.

1) You must be a warrior. You must fight your enemies, be they men, beasts or even natural forces such as storms or icy weather. A true warrior fights and never gives up. Dying in battle with these forces will increase your chances of going to Valhalla.

2) Be a berserker. Throw yourself at your enemies in an attempt to destroy them with no regard for your own safety (being absolutely wasted can help with this). Men who do this and succeed or die in their success are more likely to enter Valhalla. Berserkers are followers of Odin and as such should offer prayers to him before each battle.

3) Make sure your family burn your corpse after death on a funeral pyre and along with everything you will need to fight when the Ragnarok comes.
When you die you will have all that is burned with you or hidden in the ground beneath your pyre. Probably a good idea to bring some aspirin and some alka seltzer for all the hangovers and heartburn you will have from drinking copious amounts of mead and eating boar every day until the end of days. Maybe a good book would help too... in case you get tired of partying and feel like a lie down.

4) Pray to Odin. Respect and honour your friends, family, ancestors and the Aesir (gods). Pretty simple and self-explanatory really. Valhalla is one massive party til the end of days... nobody wants a douche sitting next to them at a party that lasts for that long. Don't be a douche.

Great poll!

yes voted 3 also

Outstanding. It seems that indeed it is true. If you burn with you, on your funeral pyre, a laptop, a modem and an eternal subscription to your broadband service of choice you can get internet in Valhalla. Praise be to the Allfather!

Had the heavy drinking part down this weekend.

For ODIN!!

yes but how can i find enemies to fight when i live in a peaceful place ?

there are always enemies. we the valhalla people are only few, very few. extremely few.

now nobody is forcing you to fight. valhalla is not a place for weaklings.

Pacifist can only be such due to other people doing their dirty work.

We thank ours on Veterans Day.
