ah, anyway.
thinking of my different religions. and I think this fits in with a dominant Christian theme. Aside from that, I shall learn more but it’s obvious 🙂 Even in Valhalla, the practice all day is for Ragnorok. My opinion (subject to change) is Folkvangr is -as you say- a different level of initiation. Yeah, originally, folkvangr fighting alone is a longer-tempered vision! ha. those short-tempered “more Valiant” types decide to practice skills? thanks!

The mighty Odin laughs upon his throne
And once more claims his children for his own
Armed valkyries ride out from the sky
Berserkers doing Godlike acts of bravery
Only warriors can feast with Odin
To attack or be attacked
The Gods are kindest to the strongest man
Why should we fear?
What greater joy than this?
Asgard will give us bliss
I can see the helmeted valkyries close to me
Ten more I slay
Odin’s mounted messengers are so near now
The darkness comes and I feel my spirit rise
A kind valkyrie carries me to the skies
