What is "Eir" mean?
Eir (pronounced as "Ee-rh" ) is a Norse Valkyrie. Even though she was a warrior, she was also known for her healing abilities and medical proficiency. Mercifully, she would choose who would live or die after battle, healing those she felt had more to give humanity. Tapping into the healing properties given to us through nature, she delivered new life to those mortally wounded.
She is also considered the same as the Greek goddess Hygeia, the Greek goddess of health as well as the Celtic goddess Brigid.
