One can simply interpret Valhalla as the heaven for those who are virtuous and die a hero’s end. Valhalla is heaven and the place of the infirmed the place of the dead, Einherjar or a glorious death means a virtuous end, a hero’s end. The punishment place is for evil doers. Valhalla mean virtuous dead, not slain but dead.Those who die virtuously in Norse one was slain or died either with glory or by other causes cause one was not virtuous in a time that the world was so dangerous good people were killed trying to be good.Thus it’s a standard, heroes or those more virtuous than evil go to a heaven, the normal selfish person goes to the place of the dead and evil people to punishment places.This is a theological truth in all religions; nowadays we believe all people can be good enough to get to heaven, by being more good than viceful and trying to be as virtuous as possible.Even if that heaven is called hell or whatever, for some hell is their heaven to others just a place to hold the dead, both are different places created based on different ideas as a room or dimension of ones plain, a world built based on the ideas ascribed and dreamt of for it.
