Freyja is the great goddess of the Vanir, daughter of Njord and sister of Freyr, mistress of love, fertility, gold, war, and death. She rides a chariot drawn by two cats, owns a falcon-feather cloak for flying between worlds, and wears the necklace Brisingamen, won from four dwarves. She brought the magic of seidr to the Aesir, teaching the gods to weave fate and foresight. Half the warriors slain in battle go to her hall Folkvangr; Odin takes the rest. She weeps tears of red gold for her wandering husband Od, and giants endlessly scheme to claim her as bride.
