I’ll stick with the Celtic and British since we’ve got a lot of Arthurian and Celtic imagery in the novels. The sleeping King under the Mountain, waiting with his sleeping retainers, to be woken at the right moment when needed. Guardians and warriors.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valhalla
In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.
It is also described that there are a wolf and eagle guarding the door of Valhalla.
Skin changing??
But has the show ever established Ghost as silent?
That's sort of what I was thinking. The only time in the books that I remember questioning if Ghost was audible was in Jon's dream in the Frostfangs where he seems to slip inside Ghost. It might just be in the dream realm, but what if that is the only time that Ghost can be audible, when he and Jon are one? I don't remember him making any noise on the show before now, with the exception of the day Job found him. But, I, of course could be wrong about that.
