A SHORT PRAYER TO FREYJA

She who weeps amber, She who weeps gold. May She walk with me, as my fate unfolds.

Freyja the loving, Freyja the wise, may She bless us, every sunrise.

She who is true strength, who beauty defines. May She be with us, by our sides.

-Velvet Rose

This is my prayer but feel free to reblog it and use it in your practice!

Gerd.

Jötunn goddess of fertility.

Daughter of Gymer and Aurboda.

Wife of Yngve-Frey and Mother of Fjölner and founding mother of the first Swedish royal line.

I always imagen her with diffent hues of brown in her hair, like the layers of the soil.

Also wearing a lot of gold, because after a lot of nagging to marry Frey, she might as well get the best out of from the wealthiest family line amung the gods. Also she tells skrinir she is allready from a wealthy family and holds just as much wealth as her father does so.

And, when I think about Gerd I also often picture a very strong and confident woman, not in the Freya way with power over love and death and magic, but more like; "yeah, Im fine af, and thrive like the plants in my soil and I know it".

Like just, confidence!

And as a fertility goddess, for me its less of a loving mother, and more of a intense pulse of life within nature that refuse to die. Very much like Frey.

"Asynjur goddesses redesigns!"

In order: Sif, Idunn, Gerdr, Sigyn <3

I am very proud with the color schemes I chose and the different body types!

By the way I tried making Gerdr's outfit more gender neutral as I headcannon they're enby (AFAB)

DEVOTIONAL PRAYER TO SKADI:

Listen to the howl of the wind, and embrace the brisk air lovingly.

Laugh when things look grim, under the twinkling Eyes of Thiazi.

So let Her be hailed the snow-haired Goddess Skadi.

Who hunts the rugged mountains on trusty skis.

May I honor You in these darker months, but also when day is bright.

May Your strength guide me when dim is the sun, and the ice and frost glitter white.

Hail Skadi!

Prayer to Freya

Hail to the Lady of amber. Hail to the Lady of steel. Hail to the Lady of passion, Bringer of luck, Bestower of wealth. You are the envy of all the Gods, the treasure of the nine sacred worlds.

Freya, mighty and magnificent, We praise Your name this Beltane. Ignite within us an awareness of our own creative fire. Ignite within us a passion, to burn through the pale shadows of our lives and find integrity: in all we do, in all we dream, in all we are. Bless us, Freya, Lady of the Vanir, and we shall hail You, always.
