VALKYRIES: the nymphs at Wotan's palace

Messengers of the gods, they led heroes to their death -- and then to paradise. They excite combatants with the love that their charm excites in their hearts, and through the example of bravery at the battlefront, mounted on steads as fast as the clouds and as deafening as a thunderstorm.

At the same time, they symbolize both the inebriation of courage and rest for the warrior, the adventure of love in battle, encounter, and loss.
