May 22, 2024 The Blótcast – S2E7 - The goddess of Love, Freya
Hello Heathens!
In Norse mythology, there exists a
goddess of unparalleled beauty and charm, revered as the deity of love, beauty,
fertility, and war. She is also known for her deep association with magic,
specifically the practice of seiðr, which involves divination and altering
fate. This goddess travels in a chariot drawn by two cats and possesses a cloak
of falcon feathers that allows her to fly between worlds. Renowned for her
passionate and formidable nature, she presides over the heavenly field where
half of those who die in combat are received, with the other half going to
Odin. Her deep connection to the most beautiful necklace, Brísingamen, which
she obtained through her own daring and guile, reflects her complex and
multifaceted character. This goddess's enchanting and fierce persona captures
the essence of both love's allure and the stark realities of battle. And she is
the
most approachable one for people to pray to, So I suggest lets approach this goddess, and lets
talk about that shall we?
