These photos come from a recent sunrise excursion during Viking weekend at our local Ren Faire.

The gold light over the tall grass was truly gorgeous, and it was a fun way to start off a full day of festivities with friends.

Thank you to Liv F.H for capturing them. 💛

OC Valkyrie 🌹 I was inspired by this beautiful photo and wanted to paint an ethereal Valkyrie coming to take her shield maiden back to Valhalla.

THE QUEEN OF VALKYRIES!!!

Daughter of the strongest and spawn of light, Sigyn had always been as strong as he sister Hyrrókkin, her aunt Angrboða and her mother Móðgúðr, which made Odin, the Allfather, to give her the position of leader of Valkyries.

Her strength and violence in training and in battle gave her the position of queen of Valkyries and even a seat in the Vingólf hall. In her time of queen, she also found herself in love with Loki, the god of mischief, and he loved her back.

This love was put up to test when Dellingr, deity of sun and moon and her father, came back to father two children with Sigyn. It was the first time she was terrified and Loki, who couldn't stand seing his lover sad, decided to impersonate her and mother Dellingr's children: Dagr and Nótt.

Sigyn had known about Loki's "trips" to the realms and his many offsprings but their relationship was always an open one, and so, she was never jealous or envy of her Loki nor her step-children and loved them as much as her own, in her own way though.

Among many acts of loves for Loki: unstitch his mouth after Brokkr and Eitri had stitched it, protect him from Thor when he cut the hair of Sif, make him feel loved in his darkest times etc, the last act of love was when Loki was captured by Váli Odinson. After Loki had killed Baldr, he was hunted down and chained by a rock with the guts of Loki's own daughter, Nótt, and the most poisonous snake to drip its venom on his face for eternity. Sigyn then made a the most important decision of her life: she left her position of queen of Valkyries and stayed by Loki's side, protecting his face from the venom for his eternal imprisonment.

Legend says that wherever Loki was imprisoned, a might and ferocious beast guards it from anyone who dares approach the birth of earthquakes and her lair.

SO! WHAT YOU PEOPLE THINK? I THINK SHE'S MY MOST FAVOURITE VALKYRIE TIL NOW >:D
