Valhalla
The greatest hall in Asgard, where slain warriors go after death. Contrary to some beliefs, Valhalla is not simply the afterlife. There are other regions that souls may go once they have passed on. This is just one hall among many.

Veve
A symbolic drawing unique to each loa (spirits in the Voodoo religion), and that is used during ritual to call that loa. Veve are traditionally drawn on the ground with cornmeal, powdered eggshell or ochre.
