SOMETIMES,

Worshipping Freyja comes in the form of screaming “I’m not fucking AFRAID of you,” in the faces of your abusers.

Worshipping Freyja comes in the form of refusing to be “palettable,” instead only to be handled by those who truly can appreciate and deserve you.

Worshipping Freyja comes in the form of looking life in the face, fearless and by her side, and tackling your adversaries head-on.

Worshipping Freyja is knowing, no matter what, that you are that. Bitch.

Properties of Norse Paganism

Decentralized - Norse Paganism is practiced in many different ways, with no way being more correct than another. It doesn’t have holy books, scriptures, or key religious figures that guide practices and beliefs, nor does it have doctrines, creeds, or dogmas. This spirituality is dynamic and can be made to suit a practitioner’s needs.

Animistic - In Norse Paganism, all things are thought to have a unique spiritual essence to them, without separation between the sacred and the mundane. The divine is viewed as a property of existence, rather than a condition to achieve or a presence to earn. Because of this, there’s no such thing as “sin” in Norse Paganism.

Pluralist - Norse Paganism acknowledges that things can hold many truths and that there are many dynamic forces in nature. This is different from a dualist approach (the view that things are either a product of good or evil / one thing or another) or a monist approach (the belief that all things are an expression of one thing).

Polytheistic - Norse pagans acknowledge multiple deities and regularly interact with these deities in many ways, without a need for a mediator.

Orthopraxic - The focus of Norse Paganism centers upon the cultivation of practice and spiritual experience, as opposed to orthodoxy, or rules about what to believe and the intensity of one’s faith.

Life-Affirming - Norse pagans live their lives to feel fulfilled in this lifetime. Their practices are done to feel as home in the world, rather than reasons concerning the afterlife. While Norse pagans have many different views about the afterlife, good ones are already guaranteed.

So it turns out Freyja is calling me (I answered and told her it would be an honor to work with her). Any advice?

Working with Freyja 101 (UPG):

Activities:

Listen to music! I find that Freyja enjoys folk music, especially of the Celtic and Nordic varieties and generally stuff with fantasy/medieval vibes, as well as various metal genres, specifically symphonic, power, prog, and folk metal!

Spend time with your cats if you have them for pets! If not, decorate your sacred space with cat imagery

Take up the arts! Especially crafting!

Spend some time in your yard, embrace the world around you, be it man made or nature.

Practice rune magick!

Tell her about your day, be it good or bad! Freyja listens to her devotees and comforts them in times of darkness.

Prayer. Be it long and eloquent, or short and sweet!

Take up HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts)

Offerings:

Floral Incense, especially rose

Fruity drinks, be it juice, tea, or something from starbucks

Art

Playlists

Moodboards

Dedicated jewellery (I have a necklace of her and a mjolnir dedicated to her)

Cat imagery

Tips:

Most stuff you can find for Frigg/Frigga also works for Freyja, as they historically are different, regional, variants of the same goddess! Check out Jackson Crawford and Arith Harger's video on the subject

If you don't vibe with the love goddess aspect of Freyja, but still feel called to her, she's also a goddess of magic and war amongst other things!

Trust your intuition! If you feel as if she wants something specific, go for that!
