The Valkyries Return Norse Myths for Sleep
By Camille EverrestA Journey Through Ancient Norse Tales To Calm Your Mind And Drift Into Restful Sleep, Featuring The Valkyries And The Gods At Rest — 2.5 HoursAbout this book
Summary
In Norse mythology, the Valkyries return not with war cries, but with a hush designed to help your mind unwind and drift toward deep sleep. This calming sleep story follows their slow ride home after the clash has ended, stretching the distance between thoughts until they loosen, soften, and fade. Over 2 and half quiet hours, the battlefield sky dims, your breathing steadies, and the night grows gentler. Travel with the shining riders into firelit Valhöll as ale is poured for the resting einherjar, and hear Óðinn silently name Skögul, Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul, and more. Linger in the stillness surrounding Brynhildr in her enchanted Valkyrie sleep, then settle beside a northern lake where swan-cloaked maidens fold their wings. Rooted in the Poetic and Prose Eddas, these scenes are retold softly and faithfully, and may help you learn, relax, or simply let go.Book information
