Freya is one of the best known Germanic goddesses and the sister of the god Frey, her name means "Lady" and her original name is unknown, like all Wanen gods, she is a fertility goddess who is associated with beauty and love.
Freya is also the patron of children and she helps mothers during their pregnacy and childbirth, Freya loves music, love songs, sunshine, and flowers and she is fond of the Alfen who are led by her brother Frey, people can also turn to her for some luck in their love life.
In some sources Freya is mentioned as the mistress of Odin ("Raging One") while in other sources she is married to the unknown god Odr ("Rage"), who has disappeared so Freya rides through the sky every day in search for her lost husband and cries with golden tears.

One of Freya's most beautiful possessions is the necklace Brisingamen, which was made by four dwarves (the Brisingen) who traded it in exchange for Freya's virginity, according to the Eddas Odin was angry with her because of that but considering the fact that Freya is also the goddess of Lust she probably saw nothing wrong with it.
Freya's worship had a very sexual character (just like that of her brother Frey) and there are stories of people who had sex in her temples to honour her, in the Eddas Freya is even accused of spending the night with men, gods, Alfen, and even with her own brother.
This sexual side of Freya was condemned after the Christianization but from a heathen point of view sex was nothing to be ashamed of.

Freya also wears a cloak made of feathers that allows her to change into a falcon and she rides in a chariot pulled by cats, she also has a boar named Hildesvini ("battle boar") who is actually Ottar, her human lover in disguise.
Heroes who die in battle are divided between her and Wodan, this also reflects another side of Freya; she is not only a beautiful friendly lady concerned with love, sexuality, and marriage, but she also has a taste for war and battle, in which she sometimes acts as the hostess of the dead.
Freya also practices Seidr/Seiþa, a form of magic in which most Wanen gods are skilled.
An old title of honour for Freya was "Our (Sweet) Lady", ("Onze lieve vrouwe" in Dutch and "Notre Dame" in French), after the Christianization this title was given to Maria (mother of Jesus) and today there are still many churches named like this.
Freya's worship is very old and there are indications that she was originally a moon goddess, in most northern European countries Friday is named after her.
