Valhalla

Here Odin reined as God of battle, yet  it is from Thor’s name that the day Thursday (Originally Thor’s day) originated. He was believed to welcome warriors who died a heroic death on the battlefield. Every night they would feast upon pork from a boar who’s flesh never diminished yet was eaten every night (For philosophers: Is this possible? An infinite amount of meat when such things e.g. the infinite library are used against it?) and where barrels upon barrels of the finest mead were drunk. The day was passed by the deceased through fighting; however every night those who had perished in the fighting were revived in order to enjoy the feast.

Some believed that the reason Odin was so hospitable to the dead warriors was because he was creating a large army, one who would fight beside him during Ragnarok. Special champions, the Einherjar, were said to lead the warriors on that day against Loki and his monstrous children.
