How did vikings get to heaven?

Answer 1

A person would got to hell if they did not die in battle - an honourable death. For example, you would go to the Heaven equivalent if you were stabbed by the enemy on the battlefield, but you would not if you died of disease or old age; and would instead go to hell. In hell, the Vikings believed that the victims would spend eternity in a small confined box, eating rotten food (perhaps faeces etc.) and drinking goat's urine. They believed it was very dreary, and nobody would want to go there. The name of Norse Hell is Hel from which the english is derived.

Answer 2

Vikings don't go to Heaven.In the Norse Mythology, when a viking dies in battle, he is sent to by the Valkyries to Valhalla (Old Norse: Valholl, "hall of the slain"). Failure to die in battle condemned a soul to a bleak and cheerless eternity.Valhalla is the majesic , enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled by the Norse chief god Odin. ..In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarok (a battle that they know they will lose) . Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. ..Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikthyrnir ( Old Norse: "oak thorny") and the goat Heidhrun, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Laeradhr.
