		Goddess of Love Sometimes, the martial aspects of the Lady overwhelm her art. Who doesn't like drawings of a beautiful woman with a sword or spear? However, the Goddess Freya is also the ultimate Goddess of Love. She's beautiful and erotic and spreads joy throughout both Asgard and Midgard (Earth). This drawing shows the Goddess Freya frolicking outside her Great Hall Folkvang.
		Celestial Goddess Lady of the Vanir, the Goddess Freya dwells in Asgard. She visits Midgard, the Earth. She even ventures to the darker realm of Jotunheim, where the giants live. The Nine Realms are open to her, and she travels where she will.
		Warrior Goddess and her Cats Here we have the Lady Freya resting her great cats and allowing them to drink. The Goddess often ventures to war in her chariot drawn by the mighty beasts.
		Goddess Freyja and Lynx Myth portrays her as possessing a cloak of falcon-feathers which allows her to assume a bird's shape and fly throughout the 9 worlds, just as a shaman flies in a trance-state. She's also described as riding in a chariot drawn by cats, or according to one 12th Century German depiction, astride one giant feline. This artwork was kindly provided by Woodwose.

		Confidence Mistress of weapons, the Goddess Freya is supremely confident of her battle prowess. While she is often shown in other guises, the Lady is a formidable warrior. You would not want to face her in battle.
		Lady Freyja's Chariot and Cats Although the name of her battle-mount, the boar Hildisvin has been passed down to us via various sources, the names of the Lady's 2 cats are still a mystery. In her novel Bresingamen, Diana Paxson names them Tregul ("tree-gold", or amber) and Bygul ("bee-gold", or honey). All I know is, only a goddess could persuade any cat to draw a chariot.

		Lady of Spring Goddess Freya is strongly associated with springtime. When she mourned her lost husband Od, the Earth became barren. When he returned (or she accepted the loss, stories vary) the Earth again became lush and green and the crops grew. As a fertility Goddess, the Lady has dominion over the green and growing things. And, of course, lovely butterflies are known as "Freya's Hens".
		Awash in Nature Beauty is the province of the lovely Lady Freyja. The Goddess is perfection herself, of course. Even more so, the world around her comes to life, the flowers blooming and the grass growing green and lush. She is the essence of life and the world responds to her.
		Freya affirms Life Even though she leads the Valkyries and takes half the noble dead with her to her palace in Folkvang, the Goddess is life-affirming. As the avatar of beauty and love, the Lady Freya is immersed in both life itself and the lust inherent in nature. Her magics wash the world clean and allow love to blossom.
		Goddess of the North Here we find the fur-clad Goddess Freya as the Queen of the North. Worshipped as a force of both life and death, the Lady is a hot, bright spark in the bleak landscape of winter. Seen here scantily clad, apparently she is snuggly warm even in the snow.
