“Valkyries” in Icelandic means “Amazons” (56). They are also referred to as “spear-maidens,” or “Sword girl” (5).

Valkyries are said to have wielded “The Fire of Skogul,”a flaming sword in the skaldic tradition (5).

The difference between shield-maidens and Valkyrie is that shield-maidens are mortal and they fight in battles. The Valkyrie are supernatural and they hover over the battle (67).

The Valkyries ability to fly comes in two forms: atop their flying horses or they can transform themselves into birds (7).
