Freya - Goddess of Love and Fertility
She-Falcon!
The moon sails through
the trees.
Freyja!
I call the weeper of
gold!
Lady of Sorcery!
I stand before you
unafraid.
Keeper of the
Brisingamen!
Reveal to me secrets
of knot and braid.
Freyja! Moon Goddess!
Queen of the Valkyries!
Give me the key to
deep magicks...
(from "Moon
Magick" by D.J. Conway)
She is the daughter of
Njord and Herta, wich meand she's daughter of Earth and Sea. Freya is
identified as a Witch. When she first arrives in Asgard, the Aesir's Realm, she
teaches them how to craft charms and potions. It is said that Freya introduced
Woden to runes and Shamanism. Also it's said that Völgas and Valkyries were her
priestesses.
She travels in a chariot,
pulled by two large grey lynxes looking cats, named Bee-gold, wich means
"honey" and Tree-gold, "amber". They symbolize Freya's twin
qualities of fecundity and ferocity. She rides a boar into battle, as does her
brother Freyr.
Friday was named after Old Norse Frigg or Freyja, who was identified with Venus, the Roman
Aphrodite (the Greeks called the day "Hemera Aphrodites" or Day of
Aphrodite).
