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.
