Freyja
For other meanings of Freya, see
Freya (disambiguation). In
Germanic paganism and its subset,
Norse paganism, Freyja (sometimes anglicized as Freya) is a major goddess, sister of the fertility god
Freyr and daughter of the sea god
Njörðr. She is described as the fairest of all goddesses, and often seen as a
Norse fertility goddess. Because the best documented source of this religious tradition, the
Norse Mythology, was transmitted, romanticized or demonized by
Christian medieval historians, the actual role,
heathen practices and worship of the goddess are uncertain.

(hypernym) Norse deity
Freya
Freya, Freyja, Froja (Icelandic, Scandinavian) Lady; Norse goddess of the planet Venus and sister of Frey, god of the planet Earth. Both are children of Njord, the Norse Saturn-Chronos, patron of the planet Saturn and the representative of time. Hence Frey and Freya are the children of time and due to end in time.
Freya, the goddess of love and beauty, corresponds to the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus. As the higher intelligence of the planet Earth, she is the sponsor and supporter of motherhood, the family, and of the human race. She wears on her breast the "fiery jewel" Brisingamen, representing humanity's finest characteristics. Often confused with Frigga, she is in certain respects interchangeable with her, inasmuch as the divinities of the solar system have strong correspondences with one another. Sacred to Freya is Friday (as Vendredi is to Venus).
