Freya Goddess Symbols- Nordic Goddess of Love and War

Freyja is technically not a name. It is translated in old Norse to mean “lady.” The modern spelling of her name is Freja which was anglicized to Freya. She had a brother named Freyr, which meant “Lord.” They were the offspring of Njoror, the sea, and Herta, the earth. Freyja goddess symbols are just as powerful as the goddess herself.Freya Goddess Symbols

Although she went searching for pleasure and passion, she was a complicated character. The Vikings saw her as a mighty force, a goddess on the same level as Odin and Thor in Norse mythology.

Freya Goddess of Love

Although Freya was known as the goddess of love, she was also the fertility goddess and goddess of war and death. Old Norse literature highlighted her insistence on everything sexual. However, she has been completely omitted from childbirth, which is an element of fertility within the confines of other goddesses of similar nature.

According to Norse myth And Freya goddess Symbols, Freya was the Norse goddess of love, fertility, sex, war, death, magic, beauty, and witchcraft. She supervises battles, can grant and remove fertility, can be beseeched for love, and was born knowing the sacred secrets of witchcraft and the Runes. Because she belonged to the Norse Vanir tribe, people thought she practiced witchcraft and was strongly connected to the earth.

She considered pigs sacred and rode a boar with golden bristles. She also had a chariot drawn by cats as another means of transport. Freya was privileged to have the opportunity to choose half of the warriors slain in battle for her great hall in Folkyangar, while the rest were taken to Valhalla by the god Odin.

She had a famous necklace known as Brisingamen that was stolen by the god Loki, the trickster, and later recovered by Heimdall, a watchman to the gods.

Freya is believed to have done the evil act of teaching the Aesir, a tribe of gods, witchcraft.

Like the Egyptian goddess Isis and Greek goddess Aphrodite, Freya traveled the world looking for a missing husband while shading golden tears. She had four nicknames: Horn, Mardoll, Syr, and Gefn.

Freya’s themes included strength, devotion, the sun, passion, and magic. Her symbols consist of lions and strawberries.

Freya was not a mysterious goddess; on the contrary, she was loved and worshipped all over European territory in places such as Iceland, Greenland, Scandinavia, the Germanic lands, Anglo-Saxon Britain, and Holland. She remains among the most loved and idolized Pagan goddesses to date.

The spirit of Freya angered Christian authorities. Ironically, this anger propelled Freya to survive more vividly than any other European female spirit. Continuous condemnation ensured Freya remained relevant.

Freya was criticized as the Queen of Witches. Women who idolized her were automatically labeled as “witches’. Freya’s rites and traditions encouraged magical practice, shamanism, mediumship, and female autonomy, while Freya acted as a role model. The new regime viewed this behavior as an abomination and symbolizing deadly sin.

The Vanir

The Norse gods are divided into two: the Vanir and the Aesir. Freya and her family belong to the Vanir, and unlike their counterparts, little is known about the rest of Freya’s family.

All that is known is that there was a war between the Aesir and the Vanir, with the Aesir emerging victorious. Freya and her brother Freyr were sent to live with the Aesir as part of the truce agreement.

According to Norse mythology, the Vanir lived in what is presently referred to as Scandinavia when the Aesir arrived. The Vanir provoked greater hostility from the Christian church than the Aesir; therefore, limited information concerning the Vanir survived.

The only information available about the Vanir was retrieved from those sent to live in Aesir.It is believed that the Vanir were shapeshifters linked to creative energy, magic, the sea, eroticism, fertility, prophecy, and shamanism.

According to the myth, Freya shared all her knowledge with the Aesir after being taken hostage. The Norse god Odin was the first member of the Aesir to befriend Freya. By becoming close to Freya, the god Odin learned about the ways of Seidr. Seidr was a form of magic perceived as a woman’s magic and unsuitable for men.

Freya knew all about the Runes, but according to the myth, her knowledge of the Runes directed Odin to gorge out one of his eyes and hang himself from Yggdrasil upside down while looking into the Well of Wyrd. After staring into the well for nine days and nights, he finally understood what the Runes meant.

Freya and Warfare

Freya, the queen of love and war who goes by the name Valfreya, leads the Valkyries into battle. The Valkyries are angels of death who transport the souls of the recently departed to the next realm, and in battle, the souls are transported to two different destinations.

The Valfreya get the first picks of the departed souls, followed by Odin, but finally, all the souls of the dead are evenly split. The souls chosen by Odin are taken back to Valhalla, whereas those chosen by Freya are taken to her realm, which goes by the name of Folkvangr, a meadow with a large hall known as Sessrumnir. In Folkvangr, love songs are always played.

Freya and Frigg

There are similarities between Freya and Odin’s wife, the Norse goddess Frigg. Some people have reasons to believe that Freya and Frigg are one person. This argument is supported by the fact that Freya is technically not a name but a title, whereas Frigg is a name.

Frigg is also referred to as the “well-beloved lady.” She can also be called Frigga, Sacka, or Fricka. She is the goddess of childbirth, fertility, matrimony, and divination. It is unclear whether she is part of Aesir or Vanir.

Since she is the wife of Odin, she is linked to marriage and fidelity. In the afterlife, married people spend their time in Frigg’s hall, known as Fensalir. It is not easy to differentiate between Freya and Frigg.

They are two different spirits in Scandinavia but seem to have merged into one spirit in German land. The distinctions can still be made even if some information has been lost or suppressed.

Ironically, even though Christian authorities were against Freya, there is still substantial information about Freya and her beliefs.The theory that Freya and Friggs are the same people is exacerbated by the belief that Freya’s husband, Odr, is Odinn, and their two daughters go by the names Hnoss and Garsemi. Not much is said about the two daughters.

Freya Attributes and Association

According to Norse myth, the beautiful Norse goddess Freya has long blonde hair. We must know that she is a shapeshifter capable of assuming any form. She has a magical falcon cloak, which she uses to fly. She also wears a necklace mentioned earlier in this article that the Brisingamen dwarfs made.

Her chariot is pulled by two silver cats, which some people think are called Bygul and Trjegul. These cats might be lynxes. Freya is associated with different animals, such as cats, rabbits, falcons, cuckoos, ladybugs, swallows, boars, and oxen.

Her preferred colors are green, red, yellow, light blue, pink, and white. Freya’s materials of choice include gold and amber. She is also a fan of flowers. Plants associated with the queen include:

Primrose

Opium poppy

Rose, clover

English daisy

Hemp, Arnica

Almond, Bedstraw

Bird Berry

Benzoin

Henbane

Strawberry

Essential oils linked to her include sandalwood, Birch, Benzoin, Cypress, Myrrh, and Rose. You can include any of the mentioned items when offering to the goddess. You can also add her favorite foods: pork, honey, mead, ale, apples, edible flowers, and barley.

Because of her love for cats, you can pay homage to the goddess by treating cats well. The goddess of love is a fan of love poems and songs continuously playing in Folkvangr.The Freya goddess can be considered a source of inspiration among ancient and present cultures. The mythology also proves that the Nordic people had a rich culture that is present to date.

Islam's Perspective on Witchcraft and Magic

The practice of witchcraft in Islam, sorcery, or any form of magic that seeks to harm or manipulate others is generally considered forbidden (haram). The primary reason for this prohibition is that such practices are seen as a deviation from the monotheistic belief in one God (Allah) and a violation of the fundamental principles of Islam.

The Quran, which is the holy book of Islam, contains verses that specifically address the issue of witchcraft and sorcery. One of the most well-known verses is found in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:102), which states:

"And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, 'We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].' And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew."

This verse suggests that magic and witchcraft can be harmful and can lead people away from the path of God. The Quran acknowledges the existence of magic but advises against its practice.

It's important to note that not all forms of magic or supernatural practices are considered sinful in Islam. There are practices like Ruqyah, which involve reciting Quranic verses and supplications to seek protection and healing from ailments, including those believed to be caused by evil forces. These practices are generally considered permissible and are meant to ward off harm rather than inflict it.

In summary, Islam prohibits harmful witchcraft, sorcery, and magic, as these practices are seen as incompatible with the monotheistic faith and can lead people astray from the teachings of Islam. However, there are permissible practices within Islam that involve seeking protection and healing through the recitation of Quranic verses and supplications.

Rituals have been an integral part of human culture and spirituality, serving as powerful conduits for intention, emotion, and connection. In this article, we will explore the captivating world of ritual candles and the deeply meaningful “I Love You Rituals.” These practices, while distinct in nature, both hold the power to foster a sense of purpose, bonding, and spiritual growth.Magic of Ritual

The Magic of Ritual Candles – Illuminating the Soul

Ritual candles have been used for centuries in various cultures and belief systems to symbolize the connection between the earthly and the divine. These candles serve as vessels for intention, light, and energy. The magic of ritual candles lies in their ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Ritual candles are often used in:

Religious Ceremonies: In many faiths, candles are lit during rituals and ceremonies to symbolize spiritual awakening, devotion, and illumination.

Meditation and Mindfulness: The gentle flicker of a candle’s flame can help individuals center their thoughts and enhance their focus during meditation practices.

Spellwork and Magick: In Wicca, Paganism, and various occult traditions, candles are an essential tool for channeling energy and intention in spellwork.

Celebrations and Honoring Loved Ones: Candles are often lit on special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, and memorials, to mark these important moments.

Each type and color of candle holds its own symbolism, allowing practitioners to select the perfect candle to enhance the energy of their rituals. The act of lighting a ritual candle creates a profound connection between the mundane and the sacred, reminding individuals of the magic that exists in everyday life.

I Love You Rituals – Nurturing Connection and Love

“I Love You Rituals” are a unique and heartwarming way to strengthen emotional bonds between individuals, particularly parents and children. Developed by Dr. Becky A. Bailey, these rituals are designed to instill a sense of love, trust, and security in the participants. They are often used in early childhood education and parenting to foster healthy relationships.

“I Love You Rituals” typically involve a series of actions, such as songs, rhymes, or playful interactions, that convey love, affection, and affirmation. These rituals serve several essential purposes:

Enhancing Connection: The shared experiences in “I Love You Rituals” strengthen the emotional connection between parents, caregivers, and children.

Promoting Emotional Intelligence: These rituals teach children about empathy, self-regulation, and positive social interactions.

Creating a Secure Attachment: The consistent practice of these rituals can contribute to a child’s sense of security and well-being.

Fostering a Love of Learning: “I Love You Rituals” make learning fun and engaging, as children associate positive emotions with educational activities.

The Common Thread of Intention

Although ritual candles and “I Love You Rituals” may seem quite different in practice and purpose, they share a common thread: intention. Both are deeply rooted in the power of intention and focused energy.

Ritual Candles: The act of lighting a candle with a specific intention, be it for healing, protection, or spiritual growth, is a practice that channels energy and focus toward a desired outcome.

I Love You Rituals: These rituals are built on the intention of fostering love, connection, and emotional well-being. Each action and word is imbued with the intention of nurturing relationships and promoting positive emotional growth.

Conclusion

Ritual candles and “I Love You Rituals” are beautiful examples of the power of intention and connection. While one is steeped in spirituality and the other in personal relationships, both practices offer opportunities for growth, healing, and transformation.

Ritual candles illuminate the path to the sacred and serve as a reminder of the magic inherent in our lives. “I Love You Rituals” illuminate the hearts of those who practice them, nurturing love, trust, and emotional well-being. In the diverse tapestry of human rituals, these practices remind us of the boundless potential for intention and connection in our daily lives.
