In Norse mythology, Freyja owns the ship-shaped hall Sessrúmnir. The name appears in the Prose Edda, where Sessrúmnir is connected with Fólkvangr, Freyja’s field.
Freyja is a major goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, war, and death. The surviving sources say that she receives half of those slain in battle, while Odin receives the other half. This makes her realm an important alternative to Valhalla.
Sessrúmnir is sometimes described as a hall and sometimes interpreted through imagery connected with a ship. The name is therefore easy to confuse with the better-known divine ship Skíðblaðnir, which belongs to Freyr. They are separate objects in Norse mythology.
The account of Freyja’s battle-dead is brief, and the texts do not provide a detailed map of how her selection works. Later popular retellings often expand the idea beyond what the medieval sources explicitly say.
