Freya, Norse Goddess of Love

You stand in a the twilight, the snow crystals swirling around you in on the wind. The fire crackles in front of you, evergreens standing like sentinels around you, their branches heavy with snow. In the darkest part of the sky to the east the aurora pulse in the sky, and you feel and answering pulse along our skin

Someone in the village has asked for your help with a love relationship because you have a special gift for making the knots of love untie themselves. You bring the light of love to many people.

You are Freya, goddess of the North, goddess of love and magic.

You see energy: earth energy, human energy, spirit energy. You travel to the inner worlds of man to make amends on behalf of a petitioner. You are a shaman of the North.

Look here for lore, books, music, and magick related to the norse goddess Freya, or Freja as well as links to free rune readings.

The Magickal World of Freya

Because of the lack of information available about Freya, and because I have such a strong intuitive connection to her, she and I are partnering (with the help of my imagination) to create some content about her for educational purposes.

Seidr - An Ancient Form of Shamanism Founded by Freya

I have studied shamanism for years but it wasn't until creating this lens that I discovered there is a uniquely Nordic form especially for women.

For more about my involvement with art and shamanism and links for more information see my squidoo lens, Art Shaman .
The Staff and the Song
"The Seidr has its roots in the fertility cult around the goddess Freya, and the ceremonial form of a seidr seance is quite unique."
Seidr Craft
Much speculation but little fact has been written of Seidr craft or trance magic of
the ancient Norsk. Trance Magic is a misleading term and should be placed in its proper perspective. There are many who claim that the shapeshifting...
Seid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seid or seiðr is an Old Norse term for a type of sorcery or witchcraft which was practiced by the pre-Christian Norse.
Seiðr Magic
Of all the reconstructed systems of archaic magickal practice, Seiðr seems to be one of the most misunderstood.

Frigga - Norse Mother Goddess of the Hearth and Home

Freya's Rival? Or Alter Ego?

Frigga is the wife of Odin, chief Norse god. Freya is from another tribe of "gods" and is Odin's mistress. I personally think they are two aspects of a the ancient goddess of Europe. See the link below for more information about Frigga.

Freya and Erzulie Freda

The Norse/Voodoo Connection

As with the Celtic Goddess Brigid who became the Voudun loa Ma'man Brigit, I believe Freya is the source for "Freda" in the loa Erzulie Freda. They are both deities of the wild energies of love and sexuality. Follow the links below for more about Erzulie.

Heathenry Versus Wicca

or Aren't All Pagans the Same?

Many people who worship the norse deities belong to a religion known as Asatru or Heathenry. Wiccans are also called by the norse deities. They are apparently not interchangeable. Here is a link to an article about the differences.
