Freya

Freya is one of the more recognizable members of the Nordic Pantheon. She is a popular goddess and possesses considerable magickal might, so much so that some consider her skill in the arcane arts equal to that of the Allfather Himself. 
== Facts: ==
-In Old Norse, the word Freya means 'the lady.' Her name has several reiterations, including Frejya, Freya, Froya, Frojya, and Frua. 
-Freya is a very active goddess and she possesses several spheres of influence, including love, sex, war, beauty, magic, death, life, and gold. Basically, she's the pre-millennial poster girl for feminism. 
-Freya has an entire portion of Valhalla to herself, a place called Folkvanger where she is lord and mistress of a vast Viking estate. This place is protected by squadrons of Valkyrie loyal only to her. 
-Freya is quite the accomplished lover and there are more than a few Pagan Bloodlines that can be traced back to her. Freya is a seeker of adventure and thrills and she is said to favor adventurers as her chosen lovers. 
-Frey is known to keep a gigantic boar as a pet and traveling companion, has a chariot pulled by powerful feline predators, possesses a cloak of falcon feathers which allow her to assume the form of a falcon, and a special necklace which enhances her already considerable capacity for Magick. 
-Old Norse myths are jumbled and difficult to discern, Freya might have originally been another form of Frigg. If true, that would make her the wife of Odin and an Avatar of Gaia. 
-Freya was originally one of the Vasir, the precursor Pantheon that predated the Aesir. If Freya married Od (a little known Nordic god) or Odin (both Od and Odin are Aesir), their marriage might have been political in nature, perhaps one of the binding decisions that finally brought the two Teutonic Pantheons together to form the modern Nordic Pantheon. 
== Seidr: ==
"Seidr (pronounced “SAY-der;” Old Norse seiðr, “cord, string, snare”) is a form of pre-Christian Norse magic and shamanism concerned with discerning and altering the course of destiny by re-weaving part of destiny’s web.[2] To do this, the practitioner, with ritual distaff in hand,[3] enters a trance (which could be accomplished through numerous means) and travels in spirit throughout the Nine Worlds accomplishing his or her intended task. This generally takes the form of a prophecy, a blessing, or a curse."
