Biography

Freya (pronounced Fray-ah) is the goddess of love, unbridled passion, and human fertility. She is the daughter of Njord and the fiery twin sister of Frey. Like her brother, she is one of the Vanir sent to guarantee peace with the Aesir. In the sense that passion is a hot, consuming emotion, she is also associated with fire. She delights in romantic poetry and is considered the most magnanimous of the goddesses. Freya weeps tears of gold when her husband, Odur, goes on his journeys. She possesses the Necklace of the Brisings, sometimes called Brisingamen, a fantastically beautiful and priceless piece of jewelry crafted by the dwarves. She rides to battle in a chariot pulled by two huge forest cats, Bygul and Trjegul. She is also associated with the boar or swine, because of the animal's fertile nature. However, the boar is often depicted charging into battle. She also serves those who have fought in battle, especially conscripts and farmers who've been forced into battle. As such, half those slain honorably in battle, and all women so slain, go to Folkvangr (in Vanaheim) with her valkyries instead of Valhalla. Once in Folkvangr, the dead enjoy a peaceful rest of meadows and fields. She is the patroness of a type of magic called "seithr", in which the sorceress enters a trance in order to answer questions about the future. Some myths say she taught the Vanir art of witchcraft to the Aesir. As the goddess of fertility, Freya also looks after women in labor. She has the power to kindle passion in any being, to control fires anywhere on Midgard, to see the future, to bless any woman with a child, and to alleviate pain and injury. Freya also has a beautiful fur-lined cloak that allows her to turn into a falcon. In her true form, Freya is a voluptuous woman of entrancing beauty. A person might think that Freya's vanity and dalliances would bring her nothing but condemnation. But the truth of it is that, like any northern woman, she's free to choose her own way. That path may not match the standards set for women by the males, but it surely matches the standards the males set for themselves. Besides, Freya's passions are tempered by her great intelligence. Still, the goddess is sought after by deity, giant, dwarf, and mortal alike. It seems her beauty and free spirit captivate the male mind, and those who see her can't put their brain-boxes on anything else. Her hall is Sessrumnir, near the Folkvangr ("Field of Folk") in Vanaheim. The place was a gift from the Aesir on the occasion of her trade; it's said to be entirely impenetrable unless Freya herself opens the doors.
