Nourish your Inner Warrior and Become a Shield-Maiden
According to the Old-Norse sagas, Shield-Maidens were a particular category of women that differed from their conventional counterparts, in that they could fight alongside men. As opposed to aristocratic women — and similarly to men — the Shield-Maidens appeared to be concerned with honour and traditional warrior values. Someone has defined the Shield-Maidens ‘as a third gender, a hybrid of masculine and feminine attributes‘, that would then transition into the ‘feminine gender’ upon marriage (Self 2014).
Whether or not the shield-maidens really existed, they appear to be charged with a strong archetypical power that guides women towards achieving physical, mental, and emotional strength. If I were to identify myself with a mythological or legendary figure, a Shield-Maiden would most definitely be the closest one to my character.
