{Goddesses} Coatlicue & Freyja


Listen Later

It’s (almost) Friday the 13th, so we’re celebrating the spooky vibes by honoring some incredible GODDESSES!


In the rich tapestry of Aztec mythology, Coatlicue emerges as a formidable deity, embodying the dual forces of creation and destruction. Her name, meaning "she who has a skirt of snakes," evokes a vivid image of a goddess adorned with serpents and possessing a necklace made of human hands, hearts, and a skull pendant. In fact, there’s a well-known statue of her that’s so terrifying, the Spanish RE-BURIED it when it was initially discovered.  


Freyja, often referred to as an epithet meaning "lady" or "mistress," is a complex deity within Norse mythology. Known for her association with fertility, death, war, and the mystical art of seiðr, Freyja's influence extends across various realms. Her unique attributes include a cloak of falcon feathers, a chariot pulled by cats, and a loyal boar companion, reflecting the rich symbolism intertwined with her character.
