“EINHERJER”

Einherjer – warriors who were selected by the valkyries to fall in battle. Hereafter, they were taken to Valhalla for an afterlife in luxury. In Valhalla, their arms were given back to them, and they made a show of fighting each other – as dying was no longer an option.  Between the pretend battles, the warriors feasted at the longtables and had valkyries wait on them with mead and boiled pork shoulder. With an infinite amount of mead and pork available, the Norse notion of a warrior’s afterlife was complete; mead was considered a nectar of the Gods while the meat came from the mythical pig Særimner. Særimner was able to perpetually regenerate, thus providing an infinite amount of meat for the ‘einherjer’.

Einherjer, (‘enekæmpere’), krigere, der af valkyrierne blev valgt til at falde på valen, dvs. dø i kamp. De kom herefter til Valhal til et “liv” i sus og dus. Her fik de igen deres krigerudstyr og kæmpede på skrømt med hinanden – falde i kamp kunne de jo ikke længere. Ind imellem disse kampe blev de opvartet af valkyrierne, der skænkede gudernes drik, mjøden, i lange baner. Den mytiske drøm om et sandt krigerliv i nordisk paradisudgave får sin sidste dimension ved det kogte bovflæsk fra den evigt gendannede gris Særimner, som de mæskede sig med ved langbordene.
