Like, what exactly? Their textual descriptions? Try Neil Price's The Viking Way, it's not super recent but it's a good start.

And maybe then check google scholar to see who's been citing him. Also maybe Leszek Gardela might have something on them.

Yep, the Price is perfect, exactly what I needed. Thanks! Googling this is surprisingly hard because of the amount of pop stuff around valkyries/weird cross-hits like apparently NASA had a robot named valkyrie?

LMAO. Naturally. It’s hard to research anything like that tbh, the Irish stuff is bad too because I get a bunch of neop*gan nonsense.

omg don't get me started. witches are the same. the amount of really, really bad "feminist" scholarship (which seems to all derive from the assumption that male clerics knew wtf rural women were up to which... yeah, very feminist) is astounding

My friend, who wrote her PhD on seidr, pivoted to beer and brewing history and the misconceptions about alewives being witches or something is pretty common.
