VALKYRIES



Valkyries by Paulo Coelho is a self-autobiography. In this story, the writer describes himself. He pens down all his flaws and shortcomings, about his marriage, personal life etc. and how everything turned around to be good again.
Here, Paulo describes himself as a Satan worshipper and believer of magic. He could not be employed in a job for a long time. He used to swap jobs at a drop of a hat. His wife, Christina stuck with him throughout all these turbulence. His mentor J ( James Redfield) provided him with a task (through a poem) to find his guardian angel. Paulo, being a stern follower and student, set out to Mojave desert with his wife Christina.
His marriage did not have any meaning. Paulo Coelho would hardly communicate with his wife. He would just like to be with himself. Paulo already knew that “he had the tendency to kill what he loves”. So, on this trip, he wanted to consult all his demons and reverse his self-destructive path.
Valkyries are leather-clad women traveling on bikes throughout the desert. They were led by a woman named Valhalla. Paulo is able to find the Valkyries and they adopt him. he is put through series of tests, for his fidelity and dedication towards his wife. During this process, Christina starts believing in her husband’s magic and also sets on her spiritual journey as well. She realizes that even her views are changing and widening; she was discovering herself. Paulo Coelho is also able to redeem himself from all his flaws and lead a better life.
This story depicts devotion, faith, mercy, love, self-discovery, and transformation.
Paulo says, “God is Love, Kindness and Mercy, if we have faith in this, we will never let our flaws paralyze us”.
