Freya's Perspective

In the Freja narrative, Freya is not merely a goddess but a multifaceted persona, a state of being, an artefact, an idea, and a perspective on the world. This view diverges from the traditional religious interpretations imposed by the monks who recorded the Norse myths and sagas.

Freya as a Persona and State​

Freya embodies the essence of the Vanir, representing fertility, love, and beauty. She is the Queen of the Vanir, a symbol of the natural cycles and the interconnectedness of all life. Her presence is felt in the nurturing of the earth and the harmonious balance of ecosystems.

Freya as an Artefact and Idea​

As an artefact, Freya is a cultural symbol, a representation of the values and ethics that guide the Freja ideology. She is an idea that transcends the physical, embodying the principles of care, reciprocity, and sustainability.

Freya's Values and Responsibilities​

  • Care and Nurturing: Freya is the guardian of life, ensuring the well-being of all living things.
  • Reciprocity and Balance: She promotes the idea of give-and-take, maintaining equilibrium in nature and society.
  • Sustainability and Growth: Freya advocates for sustainable practices that support long-term growth and prosperity.
  • Freedom and Responsibility: She embodies the balance between personal freedom and communal responsibility, encouraging individuals to act with integrity and respect for others.

Freya's perspective offers a holistic view of the world, where mythology serves as a lens through which we can explore and understand the deeper connections between humanity and nature.
