einherjar

i just recently grew an interest on these beings and i saw a spell or actually a list of instructions on how to deal with one and at the end it said that you could bind one to you and make him your servant basically but you need to summon it first and i have no idea on how to summon one of these particular beings does anyone have a clue on how to summon one?

Oh my Gods, no. The Einherjar are those who have died in battle and were chosen by Odin and Freyja to live in Valhalla and Sessrumnir by way of the Valkyries. They're not beings you summon or bind to you; they're the human dead in Norse lore.

so there is absoloutely no way to summon an einherjar? but it is posible to have an encounter with one? (likely would lead to ones death of course)

You wouldn't die, but that's seriously disrespectful. Bind one to you and make him your servant? Summon him? That's just plainly abhorrent. What if someone did that to you?

This thread has been moved to Norse Paganism from Spiritual Creatures.

I don't think you're grasping what einherjar are. It's the deceased, like Eissy said.

If this is the spell you are reading, it is rubbish:

Einherjar are not "magical being that is the reanimated soul of a Viking warrior who has been deemed worthy by Odin. They resemble bodiless suits of armor or phantoms in Viking attire. They are always armed."

Here's a link for you:

yes i fully understand now id rather disturb a soul in hell then a brave warrior who fought and earned passage to valhalla but what i was wondering was the posibility to actually see one (if they ever come to midgard of course)

BECAUSE they will return in ragnarok that is for sure.

Regardless of deeds in life, you should respect the dead when you acknowledge or work with them rather than binding them to you or "bothering" them.

Also, Ragnarok is not a literal, physical event. Even if it was, the Einherjar don't fight in Midgard, they fight in Vidblain along with the Aesir, Jotnar, and the dead of Helheim.
