GODDESS freyra
Freya is famous for her fondness of love, fertility, beauty and fine material possessions. Loki accuses Freya of having slept with all of the gods. She’s certainly a passionate seeker after pleasures and thrills. Freya is the archetype of the völva, practitioner of seidr, the most organized form of Norse magic. It was she who first brought this art to the gods and to humans as well; she’s a being whose knowledge and power are almost without equal. ~Daniel McCoy
