Freya

**Freja** to jedna z najważniejszych bogiń w mitologii nordyckiej. Jest boginią miłości, piękna, płodności, ale także wojny. Oto charakterystyka tej bogini, uwzględniając jej atrybuty, historie i cechy:

**Atrybuty Freji**:

- **Naszyjnik Brisingamen**: To jeden z najważniejszych atrybutów Freji. Naszyjnik ten był zrobiony z najcenniejszych klejnotów i był symbolem jej piękna.

- **Świnia Sibryssyskia**: Freja posiadała wierzącą świnie, która była symbolem płodności.

- **Falcon Cloak**: W niektórych opowieściach bogini ubierała się w pelerynę, która pozwalała jej zamieniać się w sokoła.

**Historie i Mity**:

- **Związek z Odynem**: W mitach, Freja była córką Njorda i była siostrą bliźniaczą Freyra. Miała męża o imieniu Odur, ale także była kochanką Odyna, króla bogów.

- **Utrata Naszyjnika**: Freja utraciła swój naszyjnik Brisingamen, który został skradziony przez Loki. To wydarzenie spowodowało wiele konfliktów i opisane jest w mitologii nordyckiej.

- **Walka w obronie Asgardu**: Freja była także wojowniczą boginią i brała udział w obronie Asgardu przed siłami jotnów podczas Ragnarok.

**Podobieństwa i Różnice**:

- Podobieństwa między różnymi opowieściami o Freji obejmują jej rolę jako bogini piękna i płodności oraz jej związek z miłością i wojną.

- Różnice mogą się pojawiać w zależności od konkretnego źródła mitologii nordyckiej i historii. Niektóre opowieści bardziej koncentrują się na jej aspekcie miłosnym, podczas gdy inne na jej aspekcie wojennym.

**Charakterystyka Postaci**:

Freja jest postacią, która symbolizuje różnorodność aspektów ludzkiego życia. Jest zarówno boginią miłości i urody, jak i wojowniczą boginią, która może stawić czoło wyzwaniom. Jej postać jest pełna kontrastów, co sprawia, że jest jedną z najbardziej interesujących postaci w mitologii nordyckiej. Jest także symbolem płodności i obfitości, co ma duże znaczenie w kontekście życia ludzkiego w starożytnych społeczeństwach skandynawskich. Freja jest postacią, która łączy w sobie różne aspekty życia i jest ważna zarówno dla bogów, jak i ludzi. Jej historia i atrybuty są odzwierciedleniem bogatej i wielowarstwowej kultury mitologicznej tego regionu.

"Loki spake:

32. "Be silent, Freyja! | thou foulest witch,

And steeped full sore in sin;

In the arms of thy brother | the bright gods caught thee

When Freyja her wind set free.""

Gullveig Goddess of Gold

My interpretation of Gullveig the vanir goddess of Gold who was killed by Odin/the Aesir

In my interpretation/headcanon, Gullveig used to be Freya’s old mentor and like a second mother to her. She taught Freya seidr and other magics. Gullveig had a feeling she was going to die due to the high tensions between the Aesir and Vanir, as well as Odin’s jealousy of her power. So she told Freya that if she were to die to take her heart and hide it. Upon her death, Freya took Gullveig’s burnt heart and hid it in a box within her hall. Many centuries later, Freya and Loki were together for a night when Loki found the box, eating the heart inside. Then Kol (the heart baby) was born. Freya was rather less than pleased that Loki ate her mentors heart, which resulted in all of Gullveig’s power going to a baby who couldn’t really even control them. But there wasn’t much Freya could do, so she’s just sometimes annoyed by Kol’s presence(not because she was particularly annoyed by her but rather how she came to be).

Frey: Self care is stuff like taking a bubble bath or putting on a lot of make up if you like that, or taking a nice warm nap and stuff like that basically.  Thor: Self care is the burning heat when rage washes over you. self care is when you feel the bones crack under your powerful fists. self care is the fear in your enemies eyes.  Loki: Self care is stealing someones birthday cake just to eat the frosting.  Freya: If you touch my birthday cake I’ll make you eat your hands.

Ragnarök Is Coming (Part One)

Kratos was grabbing the reigns of the sled that Speki and Svanna were trudging through in the snow, the great Spartan General has already made enemies within the nine realms; starting with Odin, Thor, and the rest of the Aesir -- for the death of Baldur.

Which? was Odin's favorite son, his closer. It wasn't gonna be an easy journey for the retired and esteemed God of War and his son; which told by prophecy, that he'll betray his father and go into servitude to Odin & to Asgard as it's prince.

The demigod would slide the sled into their protection stave, as he saw Atreus standing outside with the deer that they scavenged for along with the other kills that Kratos got for the two.

"Boy, I have returned with our hunt. Ready the fire. Then? We feast, and then to bed."

Atreus nodded in his father's direction, jotting what he said; as he was journaling about the events that transpired pre-Ragnarok.

"Yes, sir. Let me just go check on Fen and the wolves."

Atreus would make his rounds to Speki & Svanna's kennel to drop them off some juicy tendered venison that was gutted from the deer they captured on the way back to the stave.

"Eat up, Speki. Eat up Svanna. Gotta keep your strength."

Atreus would then head over to Fenrir, as the wolf was laying half livingly; as he plopped down aside to the wolf with it's body resting upon his lap.

That one myth

You know the one

[fernthewhimsical]

So let me get this straight*:

Frigg = Freyja Holle = Frigg = Freyja Meda** = Freyja Gulveig = Freyja Heiðr = Gulveig = Freyja Angrboða = Gulveig = Freyja Gerðr = maybe Freyja Ostra*** = maybe Freyja? Everyone = Freyja????????

Mythology is so weird

*Disclaimer: I am completely generalizing and taking theories as fact for this is a shitpost, please don't take it very seriously. However all have some truth or possible truth to it **Meda is a Frisian Goddess who gave the name to the city Medemblik. There was a golden temple there dedicated to her. Her name means "maiden", so she was probably a version of Freyja being worshiped by younger women and girls, where they would move on to Freyja at the right age or after marriage ***Dutch name for Ostara/Eostre
