Freyja
THE NORSE GODDESS OF LOVE

Frejya (which in Old Norse means “Lady”) was probably the most passionate and sensual Goddess in Norse Mythology. Her father was Njörd, the Norse God of the sea. She was associated with beauty, fertility, love, war, death, gold and magic. She was a member of the Vanir, a group of Gods associated with fertility, wisdom and the ability to see in the future. Freyja used to ride a chariot pulled by two cats, accompanied by the gold boar Hildisvíni, and possessed a cloak of falcon feathers. According to the myths, she ruled over the heavenly field of Fólkvangr, and received half of those who died, as the other half went to Odin’s hall, Valhalla.
