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.

Like okay if you want to pray to Badb the war goddess then by all means for ffs I just want some scholarly discussion on this stuff. Unfortunately, looking at “pagan” Irish beliefs (whatever you want to call them) is rather passé in my field these days.

Acknowledging that maybe some non-Christian belief systems survived in some form through text invites a whole cadre of people calling you a nativist so that’s fun.
