FIGURES OF NORSE MYTHOLOGY: FREYJA

Foremost of the Vanir goddesses, Freyja symbolizes fertility, love, and beauty. With her father, Njord, and brother, Freyr, she came to live in Asgard as a sign of peace after the war between the Aesir and Vanir. She taught the Aesir Seiðr (magic), which was commonly practiced in Vanaheim. Freyja is also associated with war, dividing slain warriors with Odin; half went to Valhalla while the other half went to her hall, Sessrumnir.
