Freya: The Eternal Goddess of the North

di E L Hunter (Autore)

Legendary Archives Publishing, 2025

Across the nine worlds she travels, weeping tears of red gold for her absent lover. In her hall Sessrúmnir, she welcomes half the battle-slain. Through her mastery of seiðr, she taught magic to Odin himself. This exploration reveals Freya in her full complexity—a goddess who defied categorization in her own time and continues to fascinate in ours. From her origins among the mysterious Vanir to her survival in folklore long after Christianization, from her medieval eclipse to her modern revival in spiritual practice and popular culture. Drawing on archaeological evidence, literary sources, and contemporary worship, this book examines how Freya's domains of love, magic, and death reflect a sophisticated understanding of feminine power that transcends conventional boundaries. Her integration of seemingly contradictory qualities offers wisdom for navigating our own complex world. Discover why this goddess of the North continues to speak to fundamental aspects of human experience—and why her stories remain as compelling today as when they were first told around ancient hearth fires.
