As Co-creators of ‘Daughters of Freyja’ we had a vision in which Freyja and her feminine counterparts within the Norse Pantheon would once again receive the recognition they deserve.
All too often, modern Heathenry focuses on the male Gods, and at best only mention briefly their female counterparts. In part this is due to the nature of the reference materials available whose focus is on the roles the male God forces and how they play out in the mythology.
We, as the Daughters of Freyja, seek to redress this by giving greater focus to the feminine deities within the pantheon. We aim to restore the balance rather than deny the existence of the masculine divinity.
As a group we each have specialities which we bring to this collective. These range from a focus on the more academic side, as in literary analysis of extant texts from Old Norse traditions; through to the more practical side of modern day ritual, ceremony and shamanism, this includes practical Seidr.
We are all about reclaiming the feminine Goddess, often seen as an appendage to the male God persona. The female Goddesses are as lively, and as relevant to today's society as the Gods.
