Chooses who dies in battle

Badb

She incites warriors and stirs confusion or panic among armies, and her cry or appearance is treated as an omen of the slaughter to come; the wider tradition around her and the related war-goddess figures includes the "washer at the ford" motif, a woman seen washing bloodied garments or armor by a river as a sign that the owner is fated to die, which compilers regularly attach to this cluster of goddesses.

Valkyrie

These celestial entities serve as the direct agents of Odin, the All-Father, tasked with the sacred duty of selecting those who are destined to fall in battle and those who will emerge victorious.
