Freya
(or Frayja, Freyja) is the Queen of the Valkyries and wife of the powerful Norse
god Odin. She is the goddess of love, beauty, marriage and wealth - associated
with divination and sexual freedom, also called The Sage and Freyja of the Black
Swordhand. At the end of the Winter Solstice, when the days began to lengthen,
Frayja sat at her spindle weaving the destiny of humans and was thus has been
linked with new beginnings.
In
Northern Europe, New Year's eve is the longest night of the year and is called
"Mother Night." During this dark night the goddess Freyja gave birth
to Baldur, the Norse Sun God who ruled the sun and rain and gave fruitfulness
to the fields. Freya
is invoked for her blessings for birthing women with a white candle burned during
the winter solstice as a ritual to ensure a safe delivery.
