Judgement
This card depicts a Valkyrie releasing a fallen warrior's soul, symbolizing resurrection, judgment, and the call to a higher destiny. It urges you to heed the spirit's call, move on from the past, and become part of something greater. Reversed, it warns of resisting connection, holding yourself back, and unhealthy patterns. The Ingwaz rune reinforces themes of nurturing potential and managing energy—storing and releasing it as needed.

Description
Hues of yellow and orange distort the world. Viking longboats burn at the water's edge in the distance. Bodies lie on the ground everywhere. Shields and weapons litter the ground. The forms of the Valkyries appear all over the land. In the center of the card a single Valkyrie stands at the foot of a fallen soldier. She wears a golden, feathered helm. She is dressed in white and wears a leather bodice over her top. Metal bracers protect her arms. She stretches one hand out over the dead body and releases his spirit from the mortal coil. The soul rises and stares at the woman. Two incarnations of the Rune called Ingwaz appear near the woman. One hovers brightly over her head, and the other floats near the soul of the deceased warrior.
