Freya
My Lady Freya
Mistress of Lighting
Bringer of Storm
Chooser of the Slain

Many Stories have been told of Freya
Not all of them Flattering

A Warrior, a Free Woman,
A Lover of Beauty
and believer in choosing
one's partners as one wills

Sounds like a woman of the years 2000 + to me :)

It is said she rode across the Night sky in a chariot
drawn by Wild Cats

Maybe that's why theres always been a picture of
a tiger in my house somewhere :)

She was skilled in the ways of Seidhr,
The magick with which one walks the nine Worlds
Of the World tree of Yggdrasill

Much is made of her necklace Brisingamen,
The golden necklace which stands for her Power
Over the material world.

People seem more concerned over
how she supposedly got it
Than what it means. In exchange for her favors
So it is said

Then, much as now, Even a Goddess can get
put down for free love as a "wild woman"

I say

Then let us be Wild as the wolf if therein lies Strength

Then let us be Free, if freedom means Power

Then let us use the magick of Seidhr
To walk between the Worlds
If on this path lies the power to make Change

Then let us be as cunning as the Wild Cat,
If this means Liberation

Then let us be the Warrior who Heals the World
As our Mother meant us to Be

Ode to My Lady Freya

Re: Freya
this is a bit about the goddess freya, of the norse pantheon, patronness of crops andand birth, goddess of love and fertility.

She is the most beautiful and propitious of the goddesses of norse mythology. She is the symbol of sensuality and was called upon in matters of love. She loves music, spring and flowers, and is particularly fond of the fairies.

She is the daughter of the god Njord, and the sister of Freyr, god of fertility. Later she married the mysterious god Od (probably another form of Odin), who disappeared. When she mourned for her lost husband, her tears changed into gold.

Her attributes are the precious necklace of the Brisings, which she obtained by sleeping with four dwarfs, a cloak (or skin) of bird feathers, which allows its wearer to change into a falcon, and a chariot pulled by two cats. She owns Hildesvini ("battle boar") which is actually her human lover Ottar in disguise. Her chambermaid is Fulla. Freya lives in the beautiful palace Folkvang ("field of folk"), a place where love songs are always played, and her hall is Sessrumnir.

Love and Light
