¬  Freya  ¬

Freya or Freyja, is one of the principle goddesses of Norse Paganism, the other being Frigg. She is the most honoured and revered in Norse mythology, however, this was altered significantly by Christian medieval historians, leaving the actual role, practices and worship of Freya uncertain.  In the Eddas, Freya is portrayed as a goddess of love and fertility, with blonde hair and blue eyes and described as the fairest of all goddesses. She was prayed to for happiness in love, and called upon to assist in childbirth, and prayed to for good seasons. Freya was also associated with war, battle, death, magic, prophecy and wealth.

Freya at the Apple Tree     It was said that Freya received half of the dead lost in battle in her hall Arthur Rackham             Folkvangr, whereas Odin received the other half at Valhalla.
