I have always felt pulled to the Norse mythology, I have actually researched my ancestry, it goes back to the Danish Vikings. I was raised Christian but recently I lost my son, Loki, he was 13, and autistic and has epilepsy. He passed away due to a complication with epilepsy. After he passed I felt really lost and wanted to find my way, spiritually. I found I was being pulled towards the Norse pagan path, I have spent a ton of time learning as much as possible. I now have an altar for Freya, The other day I got an order in from a place I get candles from, Fragrant Jewels, it was a gold candle with a bee on it, I loves it and I wanted to give it to her but I wanted it too, but I gave on a gave it to her, not 5 mins later I got another package of the exact same thing, I double check and I did in order 2, but I got 2, I think she wanted me to have one too, she knew how much i like it. Now we both have one

I’m new to this practice but I decided to focus on Freyja because I just got out of a long relationship and wanted her help creating a bindrune to attract love. I had to use a virtual altar, I know those are not a substitute for the real thing but it was all I had access to at the time, and I played videos dedicated to her with music and chanting and I know it may sound strange but while I drew the bindrune after calling out to her and while listening to the music, I could feel her guiding my hand and helping me empower the rune.

I had to seek this video out after I believe I had my first sign from Freyja. I have been job hunting for some time now, since August, and nothing has stuck. Recently, I applied for the only job I really wanted, a bookselling position, and was given the opportunity for an interview later this morning (it is currently 5:30am and the interview starts at 10:15am). Waking up during the night, I went downstairs to smoke and as I did, I saw an unfamiliar cat sitting on the wall just outside where I sit. We have two cats, both ragdolls, and this was a white and ginger cat. As I noticed it, it was staring at me with purpose, sitting in a regal posture and in the same instance we locked eyes, it turned away and left. With two cats to guard the territory of my home, I have never before seen one approach the house so close in our garden, and this one was already so close by the time I noticed it, it could have been waiting for me to see for some few minutes. Earlier in the night, I had been wearing my Mjolnir and reciting the names of all the gods I am the most knowledgeable about: Odin, Thor, Tyr, Frejya, Frey, Baldur, Loki...in that order, maybe a dozen times. I was secretly wishing for my success with the interview later today abd I believe this was a sign from or even the beginning of a relationship qith Freyja, either sending the cat or appearing in cat form to tell me I will hold the reins and be successful in this venture.

Back in Dec '21 my niece found a 4wo kitten wandering around a dumpster at the church next door. They couldn't find an owner and her dad wouldn't let her keep it so she asked if I could take care of it instead. I've always been a dog person (and coincidentally more connected to Odin), but I felt led to take the kitten in and name her Freya because of the chariot symbolism and I like the song by The Sword. She's been a wonderful addition to this canine household and I can't imagine the past year without her and her sassy independence. It absolutely blew me away when your cat came on screen because it looks just like my Freya except for the nose. I came to this video because I've felt led to work more with Freya recently and now I know without a doubt that she wants me to work with her as well. You easily could've left your cat out of the video, to wait for it to leave, to shoo it away, whatever, but you didn't. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, but moreso thank you and your cat for being a sign!

I stumbled across your channel after feeling a strong obsessive push to do some in-depth research on Norse Paganism this last weekend. I want to say thank you for this video on Freya and I will be watching all of your videos as well as listen to your podcast. Not to mention reading the recommended texts (ordered and awaiting their arrival). I’ve been fascinated with Norse Paganism since high school but was unsure of if the path was right for me. I stuck with the general Paganism practices and did my dedication ceremony in 2013 as a solitary practitioner of Paganism with no clear path chosen. It was a wonderful moment and I felt welcomed with open arms. I opted to follow the deity Bastet and have been for almost 10 years until I got this recent obsessive push. When I saw this video, a lot of realizations hit and it felt like Bastet pushed me here to have Freya step forward and welcome me as I had felt an overwhelming onslaught of emotions of excitement, celebration, happiness and welcoming. I have to say with humor, respect and love…..that I have been traded from one “crazy cat lady” to another. And after the 24 hour nonstop positive emotional rollercoaster I’ve been on since watching this video and pulling up info online, I am grateful to Bastet for the time I had with her and blessed to feel Freya welcome me with open arms. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research.

I have been showing my children your videos thank you for your time and effort! I have been practicing for about 4 years after the loss of my youngest child and being called by Odin my whole life, just didn't know it. I was surrounded by toxic religion that made me feel crazy for being connected to the Gods especially Odin and for questioning things since I was a child. When my daughter passed I was VERY connected to Odin and Thor and I told everyone to let me be and I have found my way. I enjoy your views and sharing a lot of the same findings I have come across doing my research in search of the historical truth and findings of our history. I am autistic and things have to make sense to me in a factual stand point so I have always been obsessed with history and research. I have fully embraced my path and beliefs over the passed 4 years now and it's been the most strengthening and empowering time of my life. I have stories upon stories of Odin showing me I am doing exactly as I should. I hope to eventually contribute and be a part of everything you are building. I get a rise in my soul just listening to all the knowledge! Hail Odin!!!

I love your standpoint and your perspective of boundaries. I think most Americans are brainwashed from the churches influence from a young age. It takes an open mind and a steady mind to begin separating our inner truths from the stories we were taught. Feeling and learning about ourselves and what we truly feel opens our hearts and souls to our inner truth, inner faith and inner wisdom. Keeping those strict boundaries with ourselves and with our families can be quite a challenge within themselves. But our belief in “our” chosen Gods and Godesses is somthing no man or woman can take away from us. It’s woven deep in our souls. Yet shines through us like the sunlight. Blessed Be and much 💕 love 😻

@Blood Feather I'm Christian, and I'm not brainwashed into Christianity. I'm Christian because God has called me. I'm Christian because the experiences pagans and other people who practice anything to do with spirituality have I have them with God. I'm Christian because it makes sense, and above all, it's true, independent of my feelings towards it. If people are called by other spiritual beings to worship them, people have the free will to do so, but you don't have to put down Christians when you don't even understand Christianity.

@Kayra Han No, we don't believe in three God's. We believe in one God in three persons. (1) as the Creator, Lord of the history of salvation, Father and judge, as revealed in the Old Testament; (2) as the Lord who, in the incarnate figure of Jesus Christ, lived among humans and present in their midst as the "Resurrected One"; and (3)as the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit, whom we experience as the Helper or intercessor in the the power of the new life. To understand this, you have to experience all three. I believe it because of my experiences. Reading the Bible does not make it real. It's the supernatural experiences that I have with God, the Trinity that I know it is true. Historical evidence lets me know what happened in the Bible is true, along with my spiritual experiences with the Holy Spirit. The prophecies that are coming to pass also let's me know that Christianity is true. There are only two paths, Christianity or paganism. One has to be true.

About the twin connection between Freya and her brother, I don’t know exactly how things where perceived in this countries back then, but as you said it is a common theme. And in my understanding, the references is not always brotherly or familiar, sometimes it also represents complementary, like twin flames, or male and female energy of the same thing, as a complement or as god and goddess being one with two sides. So I imagine that it is to be understood eventually from a different perspective then our modern one…

I see you've got the best translations and versions of the 2 Edda! 🤗🤗🤗 As I just said in your latest video a few min. ago, I'm catching up! I should've started with your oldest videos, but as soon as I saw your newest, I just had to watch it. So I apologize. As a woman who wants total equality between men and women (I'm definitely a NON man-hater. I adore men and don't want to emasculate them at all), I adore Freya for her will to take her own sexuality into her own hands, and demand equal respect (regarding men) for it. She's brilliant. And from my seidhr journeys, Thor has always been a gentle god towards me, as well as a lovely gentleman in my eyes, just as he was for Freya.

Thank u so much because as a woman it’s good to be able to hear a balanced approach to a strong historic female goddess. 👑 I think many cultures have problems with their strong feelings about women - Men are allowed to be handsome, knowledgeable, with weaknesses, and still be revered. Whereas society oftentimes has problems, allowing women to be as multifaceted as male leaders and still be respected, loved & honored as humans with strengths and weaknesses- rather than defiled for the defiler’s own projected weaknesses. And I LOVE ur Kitty! Maybe ur kitty’s ancestors were Freya’s chariot cats 🐱

I'd like to thank you for your informative video, it was very insightful for a beginner into understanding the Norse mythology ❤ After hearing you talk about Freya taking half the souls and having a hall for them, I had an interesting thought. I've been watching C dramas of the Ming and Qing dynasty, there is a recurring theme of pregnancy/labor is also a round or a foot stepping into death due to complications from it. When I think about it that way and to ancient woman, bearing children was (more) risky than it is today, it would make sense to me that Freya would be apart of love, pregnancy, labor, and death. Thanks again 🥰

I love history & have recently been obsessed with medieval European history & Norse Mythology. We have a daughter on the way & I am very close to convincing my girlfriend into us naming her Freya! I really hope she goes for it. The name is beautiful & unique.

I am fairly new to being a norse pagan myself, however I had been looking into it for some time, I knew that I truly wanted to learn more, and I promised that I would take the time to really learn. When I decided that this was truly was what was right for me, that this is truly who I am, I still somewhat felt like I needed some kind acceptance or permission as you will, to say that it is right for me to call myself a norse pagan and to say I belong here. Until a few nights ago, now in particular I had felt the pull towards Freyja, I felt that's where my strongest connection was, then a few nights ago, I taking the time to look more into her and I feel she gave me her presence, she gave me her time, I felt her love, and when I closed my eyes all I could see was a golden glow, it all felt like I was being given that acceptance, that permission that I felt I needed, and that is an experience I truly will hold dear to my heart each and every day. I didn't know where to share this but knew I wanted to share this with you.

Polar, Addressing those that I'm made to think are being funny. Apologies if I'm wrong. Someone tried to break in my backdoor as I was typing earlier. Life of a targeted being. Is it what it seems? Or something to bait me out of my house? Or? I say polar because I've been accused of it. It doesn't apply. I have issues, not that one. ☮️

Eye was looking through my moms genealogy, eye found a pencil written note that indicated denmark and norway Being part of it. Eye went back later to read it again, and it was gone, never to be seen again. Her people were of those who landed in pembrokeshire wales. Anyway might explain my draw to norse mythology

I'm trying to learn more of Freya. I believe I may have confused a sign from her as a sign for Odin and a bad day as being from Loki whereas the hawk that flew in front of my car within inches may have been Freya and the following bad day may have been my punishment for not correcting myself.

Correct pronunciation of old language is key to correct delivery of the information. Gil-FAG-enning is not the same as Gil-FAG-enning. Old Norse is a difficult language to correctly pronounce, compared to English, but pronunciation is the key. Other than that, your videos are the bomb! Skal, Brother!
