Freja or Freyja (Old Norse for “the Lady”) is an intriguing Norse goddess. She is the goddess of love, beauty and sexuality and she is also said to have had the task of bringing back the dead from war along with her valkyries (helpers). On top of this she is also the goddess to call on for help with Seidr (Norse Witchcraft) and magic spells. The impression I have from the research I have done on Freja and the meditations I have experiences with her is that she is a powerful, protective force to be reckoned with.

I have been told by more experienced practitioners of Norse Witchcraft and rituals that the Norse energies and deities are not known for their subtlety. They are very direct. This is how I have experienced Freja so far. One of the first times I meditated on/with her it had been a stressful and tiring day. When I sat down for my meditation my thoughts were elsewhere and my breathing was quite shallow. Within a second of whispering the name Freja my breaths automatically became very long, deep and powerful as if someone was breathing for me. I look forward to more experiences with Freja and guidance from her.
