"Courage is better than comfort, and wisdom is better than gold.” — Hávamál

When I first came across the Hávamál and the Poetic Eddas, their words struck me in a way nothing else had. They weren’t just old verses from another time — they spoke about how to live, how to face hardship, and how to carry yourself with honor. At the time, I needed that wisdom more than ever.

I was in a dark place — depressed, feeling alone, trapped in negativity. It was weighing heavy on my marriage, my children, and my life as a whole. I felt like I was slipping further away from the person I wanted to be.

The old Norse words became a lifeline. The verses and wisdom of the Eddas reminded me of strength, resilience, and the power of choosing courage over despair. They gave me a new way to see myself and my struggles — not as something to surrender to, but as battles to face with honor. Slowly, they helped me rebuild a more positive path, reconnect with my family, and live with greater purpose.

Out of that transformation, Valhalla Souls was born. For me, this is more than a brand — it’s a way to keep the spirit of the Old Ways alive, and a way to share the strength I found in them. Clothing can be more than just something we wear; it can carry meaning, a reminder of the path we choose to walk.

Each design is inspired by the verses, mottos, and symbols that shaped the Norse world. They are touchstones — to wear close, to draw strength from, and to carry into daily life.

Valhalla Souls is for those who feel the same pull toward the old wisdom. For those who know what it’s like to struggle, but who also believe the words of the ancients can still guide us, steady us, and inspire us to rise again — with courage, with honor, with purpose.

This is my way of sharing what saved me most.

A way to wear your words.

A way to live your wisdom.
