Áróra
In Norse mythology the #aurora were the armour and weapons of the Valkyrie. The word is derived from Old Norse Valkyrja ("Chooser of the Slain") who guide the souls of the battle-slain to Odin's hall Valhalla.
In Finland, a fox was thought to have created the aurora, its bushy tail throwing sparks into the sky.
Scottish legend refers to the lights as “Merry Dancers” engaged in battle.
