THE DAY OF FREYA

THE last day but one of the week
was devoted to the worship OF
Freya, the Saxon goddess of love and
was called Freya's-Daeg, or Friday.
Freya corresponded to Venus, the
Roman love goddess and, like her, ex-
ercised special control over love affairs.
She had the power to kindle love be-
tween men and women and to arrange
for the providential meeting OF those
possessing agreeable personalities. Since
she was known to lend favorable ear
to the wish of lovers, she was often
invoked by them and it was customary
to indite love songs to her which were
sung on all festive occasions.
There were numerous temples
throughout Northern Europe erected to
this goddess, many Of which were long
maintained by her votarieS, the last In
Magoeburg, Germany. being destroyed
by order Of Charlemagne. Offerings
were made to Freya almost daily at
these temples, but a special ceremony
was held on Friday In memory OF the
naming of the day. This was solemn
occasion, accompanied by all the de-
votion of an ancient religious service,
when 1t was the custom for every one
to reverently drink to the health OF
Freya. This is one of the ancient
heather rites that in reality still sur
wives, for with the coming Of Chris
tianity the toast was merely transferred
to st. Gertrude and is observed in some
places today.
Freya was considered the most beau
tiful of ancient feminine deities and
she is often referred to in literature as
the blue-eyed, golden-haired goddess.
She was, in fact so beautiful that the
prettiest plants and flowers of the north
were called Freya's hair or Freyas eye
dew. In the few surviving Saxon draw
ings she Is often shown wearing a robe
Of feathers which enabled her to fly
through the air like bird as she scat
tered with lavish hands fruits and
flowers to gladden. the hearts Of all
mankind. She also had golden chariot

NEW YORK. June 6-Modern

road of evolution, in brain as well

This lis the opinion of DR. Fred

logical Institute. who for fifteen
years has been making a compar-
alive study of the brain of mon

of this research have just been

Both the external appearance

point conclusively to an evolu-
tional process which has run
parallel with corresponding ex-

ment."
