Wholesale Freyja Norse Goddess Mythology Art Print

"Freyja is the most glorious of the goddesses. She has in heaven a dwelling called Folkvang, and wheresoever she rides to the strife, she has one half of the slain, and Odin has the other half." — The Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson This print is for the collector who understands that the goddess of love in the Norse tradition was also the goddess of war, death, magic, and the fiercest grief ever recorded in the mythology. The one who knows that Freyja wept tears of gold for her missing husband Odr and that those tears became the amber found along the shores of the Norse world, and that a goddess who loves that hard and grieves that openly is not a soft deity. She is the most powerful one in the room. Freyja stands in a dark hall, draped in black robes edged with the feathers of her falcon cloak, the cloak that allows her to fly between worlds. A magnificent necklace of deep gold and red stone rests at her throat, Brisingamen, the most beautiful object in all the nine worlds, the one she paid four nights with four dwarves to possess and never once regretted. Her long blonde hair falls loose and wild around a face that is composed and entirely sovereign. A white cat sleeps on the shelf before her, one of the great cats that pull her chariot. Torches burn in the darkness behind her. She looks at you with the patient attention of someone who receives the souls of half the battle dead before Odin gets his share and has been doing it since before the world was named. She is Freyja, goddess of love, beauty, fertility, gold, war, death, and seidr magic. Daughter of Njord, sister of Freyr, leader of the Valkyries, keeper of Folkvangr where half the battle-slain dwell. She owns the feathered cloak that grants the power of flight and the necklace Brisingamen forged by the four dwarves of the earth. She taught Odin the art of seidr, the most powerful form of Norse magic, and that makes her the one who taught wisdom to the wisest god. She wept gold tears when her husband was lost. She searched every world for him. She kept searching. In modern Norse paganism and the Asatru tradition she is the most widely honored of the Norse goddesses, called upon for love, for abundance, for protection in battle, for magical workings, and for the courage to feel things fully without letting that fullness break you. Perfect for a dark academia study, a Norse mythology lover's gallery wall, an Asatru altar space, a witchcore sacred space, or any room that holds the full complexity of feminine power in the highest regard. An essential gift for Norse mythology enthusiasts, Asatru practitioners, and anyone who has ever loved something at considerable personal cost and kept going anyway.
