I honor Freya,

You who teach us

To fully embrace love, justice, pleasure and beauty.

You who teach us

The ways of courage and compassion.

Freya and Her twin brother Frey were born many eons ago on a beautiful sea shore in the Heart of Vanaland, the home of the Vanir, Mysterious Ones of (among other things) fertility, beauty, sensuality, pleasure, abundance and plenty. The Twins’ mother (Hertha-Nerthus), father (Njord) and all of the Vanirs’ hearth-clan loved the beautiful babies Freya and Frey beyond all reason. The Twins grew up well loved. They were both thoroughly and expertly trained for the roles that They would someday come into. It is hard to imagine a more nurturing and supportive way to grow up than the childhoods of Freya and Frey.

Freya came into Her womanhood, growing gracefully into Her powers as a Gidden of power, beauty, sex, integrity, fertility and war. She married Od and then lost Him. She fought great battles and engaged in tempestuous love affairs. Freya has always live Her life to the fullest. (Please go to: Freya and Od)

Currently, Freya is devoted to the growing and the nurturance of the Emerging Cultures of Beauty, Balance and Delight. She tirelessly works to restore the sustainable ways of conscious co-creators daring to fully live in the knowledge that the multiverse is not only born of our dreams, but of our actions, intensional and otherwise. Freya travels through out the worlds with Her dear feres; Hera, Bridget and Kwan Yin, doing whatever they can to bring these cultures further into manifestation.

No matter how busy Freya is, She always saves a good bit of time to spend with Her beloved Od in their beautiful home in the far north tending and nurturing their love for each other and their clan-hearth. There, they equally enjoy spending time in their vast library researching the newest discoveries emerging through out all of the realms, weeding quietly in one of their many gardens, driving their vintage Saab to the local community theater, cooking up delicacies in their kitchen to be served at an intimate gathering of feres, or making mad passionate love in their luscious bedroom as the late afternoon sun shines across their bodies.

Freya holds a special place in Her heart for:
