FOR THE SUN.

EDDA.
FABLE XIII—Of the God Frey and of Freya.

In the course of time, Niord had two children
in his abode of Naotun, and their names were
Frey and Freya, and both were beautiful anti
powerful.
Frey is the most gentle of the gods, and he
rules over the rain and the Sun, and over all the
things which spring forth from the earth. Belt
is who must be invoked to obtain favourable sea-
sons, abundance, and peace, for he is truly the
dispensator of peace and of riches.
Freya is the most favourable among the god-
desses, and the place wherein she dwells in the
heavens is called the Union of Nations. Mounted
on a horse, she rides forth wherever rages the
strife of war, and claims the one half of the
slain ; the other half of which belong to. Odin.--
Iler palace is extensive and magnificent, and from
it she sometimes issues forth, seated in a chariot
drawn by two cats. She lends a favourable ear
to all those who implore her aid. From her is
derived the name which ladies bear in our
gunge. She delights in amatory poems, and it Is
proper to worship her, if you wish to be forttinate
in your love. Upon this Gengler said :—Great,
indeed, is the power which all these gods seem
to possess ! and ho wonder that you can
accomplish such mighty deeds;* since you are
so well acquainted with the qualities, and the
particular functions of each of theSe Gods ; and
since you likewise know what you should ask of
each of them, to enable you to secure the success
of your enterprises. But tell me, are there any
other Deities besides those
you have already
enumerated ?
There is no divinity of either the Greek or
•
Roman Mythology that bears any resemblance
to this Frey of the Scandinavians, but Freya,
often mistaken for Frigga, is the Venus of the
North. From her ladies are called Filler,
Freer, in the northern dialects ; and it would
teem that they are called Freya in the ancient.
Gothic.
• The ancient Scandinavians, prevlouslv to the artiyal
Odin, were a simple and ignorant race ; turd this circto eue! s!,4lc.t
proved no less favourable to the success of the enterpris ba
conqueror, than his own abilities, and the valour
his tollowers. Amazed at a success which their own ignorance
had occasioned, but which it could not comprehend, they sr',
to the Court of Odin himself, in the hopes ot there discoverat
the cause. Such was the object of Uanglerfs visit. He ?°s
learns so many unknown particulars respecting the functiont.
of the different Deities, and of the worship which must batl
to them to secure their protection and their favour,' `le
of the
imagines he has now discovered the cause of the success for,
invaders, and rendered himself capable of balancing the
tune of his rival. •
