Fólkvangr
In Norse mythology, Fólkvangr (Old Norse "field of the host"〔Orchard (1997:45).〕 or "people-field" or "army-field"〔Lindow (2001:118).〕) is a meadow or field ruled over by the goddess Freyja where half of those that die in combat go upon death, while the other half go to the god Odin in Valhalla. Fólkvangr is attested in the ''Poetic Edda'', compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the ''Prose Edda'', written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. According to the ''Prose Edda'', within Fólkvangr is Freyja's hall Sessrúmnir. Scholarly theories have been proposed about the implications of the location.
==Attestations==
In the poem ''Grímnismál'' collected in the ''Poetic Edda'', Odin (disguised as ''Grímnir'') tells the young Agnar that Freyja allots seats to half of those that die in her hall Fólkvangr, while Odin receives the other half (''Fólkvangr'' is here anglicized to ''Fôlkvang'' and ''Folkvang''):
In chapter 24 of the ''Prose Edda'' book ''Gylfaginning'', High tells Gangleri (described as king Gylfi in disguise) that Freyja is "the most glorious of the ásynjur", that Freyja has a dwelling in the heavens called Fólkvangr, and that "whenever she rides to battle she gets half of the slain, and the other half Odin, as it says here: (stanza above from ''Grímnismál'' is then quoted )". High then continues with a description of Freyja's hall Sessrúmnir.〔Faulkes (1995:24).〕
