An Insightful Look at a Complex Deity Freyja, Lady, Vanadis: An Introduction to the Goddess examines Freyja, perhaps the best-known goddess of Norse mythology. Using original source material, extant writings, and scholarship the author builds an image of the goddess as she may have appeared to her followers in pre-Christian Northern Europe. Patricia Lafayllve then uses the knowledge she has compiled to speculate on aspects of modern worship of this complex deity.

Die germanische Mythologie kennt viele starke Göttinnen. Frigg, Odins Gemahlin, ist sicherlich die erste von ihnen. Gylfaginning 35 schreibt: »Freyja ist die Vornehmste nach Frigg.«Laut der alten Legenden kam Freyja mit ihrem Bruder Freyr und ihrem Vater Njörd als Botschafter des Friedens aus Wanaheim. Freyja gilt schlichtweg als die Göttin der Liebe, die auch heute noch viel Verehrung empfängt. Wie alle alten Götter ist sie wirksam in Midgard, der Menschenwelt. Freyja ist sehr vielschichtig. Sie ist das Idealbild der in Liebesdingen erfahrenen und dort auch gern handelnden Frau. Doch sie ist auch streitbar, führt die Walküren und beherrscht mächtige Zauberkraft. Hier wird Freyjas wirken und Sein beschrieben, doch nicht aus der Sicht des Beobachters, sondern so, als erzähle die Göttin selbst. Die alten Geschichten werden dabei nicht umgedeutet. Alles ist möglichst nahe an der Edda gehalten und genommen, wie es dort beschrieben wird. Aber es wird versucht, die Geschichten in Zusammenhang zu setzen und auch in eine zeitliche Abfolge zu bringen. Nicht der Inhalt ändert sich, sondern nur die Sicht der Dinge. Und das kann sehr bereichernd sein, wenn man sich darauf einlassen mag. Denn die Reise führt vom Ursprung der Zeiten bis zu deren Ende und mündet im Jetzt, wo die alten Götter noch immer erfahrbar sind und für die Menschenwelt wirken.

To be captured by the Northern Thing means to be taken with the Norse stories of the Gods. If that describes you, then The Norse Myths should help. It contains the most complete versions of the Norse myths available in the English language. The Norse Myths is presented as a narrative from the beginning of creation to the final great battle of Ragnarok, followed by the Rebirth. The Norse Myths is split into several parts: Part One: In the Beginning. Eight chapters that set up the Universe. Part Two: The Adventures. Twelve chapters about the adventures of Gods, Elves, Jotuns, Humans. Part Three: The Ending of All Things. Overarching in all the stories is Ragnarokr, the Doom of the Gods. Even in the humorous stories there's a sense of fatality. Part Three is eight chapters leading to the final battle (Ragnarokr) and the subsequent Rebirth into a more Utopian world. Finally, there is a complete Glossary of all the characters, places, and objects in the book. The spelling used in the book is presented with definitions of the word and alternate spellings, followed by a complete description. And there's a Genealogy chart showing the familial relationships of many of the characters. Norse mythology comes from the Nordic countries, including Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland. These countries were heavily influenced by Teutonic (German) mythology. This book contains all of the legends which pertain to the Gods. Future volumes will be about family sagas like The Niebelungenlied (The Ring Saga). There is a deep foreboding, a sense of doom, that pervades Norse mythology. The Gods are not immortal. They can be injured and need to be healed. They can find themselves bent with old age. Against the right enemy they can be killed. From the beginning the Gods know they are in a violent battle of good versus evil. The Gods, mankind of Midgardr, and light elves, are doing what they can to stave off the last battle, Ragnarokr, the Doom of the Gods. They fight against evil giants, ferocious wolves, giant sea serpents, and the cunning Loki. The Nordic countries have harsh winters resulting in a mythology that is darker than most. The Norse hero wants to die a hero's death, in battle, fighting for right. The worst death is the straw death, in bed, old, infirm, and away from the fight. The hero who dies in battle goes to Valhalla or one of the other fighting halls to practice and prepare for the last great battle. Those who die straw deaths go to the torturous halls in Niflheimr. Glory does not await them. Pain, venous snakes, and starvation awaits them. Yet, there is hope . . . always hope. There is the vision of a better life filled with peace and tranquility, the Rebirth. Norse mythology has influenced many fantasy novels including The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, who taught Norse mythology at Oxford. The Norse Myths will take you to a world of legend with Thor, Odin, Loki, Gods, Goddesses, monsters, giants, and dwarves doing what they can to help or hurt each other.

The history of the divine is the history of human thought. For as long as men and women have pondered the mysteries of their existence, they have answered their own questions with stories of gods and goddesses. Belief in these deities shaped whole civilizations, yet today many of their names and images lie buried. The Encyclopedia of Ancient Deities makes those names available to the general reader as well as the scholar. This reference work lists all the known gods through recorded history. Alphabetically arranged entries provide the name of each deity (with alternate spellings), as well as notes on names that may be linguistically or functionally related. The tribe or culture that worshiped the deity is identified, and the god's origins and functions are explained. An extensive bibliography provides opportunities for further research and an exhaustive index provides access to the entries through virtually all names, forms and kinds of deities.

Die Reihe Die achtzigbändige Reihe "Die Götter der Germanen" stellt die Gottheiten und jeden Aspekt der Religion der Germanen anhand der schriftlichen Überlieferung und der archäologischen Funde detailliert dar. Dabei werden zu jeder Gottheit und zu jedem Thema außer den germanischen Quellen auch die Zusammenhänge zu den anderen indogermanischen Religionen dargestellt und, wenn möglich, deren Wurzeln in der Jungsteinzeit und Altsteinzeit. Daneben werden auch jeweils Möglichkeiten gezeigt, was eine solche alte Religion für die heutige Zeit bedeuten kann - schließlich ist eine Religion zu einem großen Teil stets der Versuch, die Welt und die Möglichkeiten der Menschen in ihr zu beschreiben. Das Buch Freya ist die wichtigste und bekannteste Göttin der Germanen. Sie ist vor allem die Liebesgöttin, aber auch eine Erd- und Fruchtbarkeitsgöttin. Als Jenseitsgöttin ist sie die Wiederzeugungs-Geliebte, die Wiedergeburts-Mutter und die Wiederstillens-Amme der Toten und des ehemaligen Sonnengott-Göttervaters Tyr - Freya ist daher auch die Sonnenmutter. Ihr goldener Halsreif Brisingamen ist ein Symbol für die Sonne, die sie jeden Morgen wiedergebiert. Sie ist nicht nur die Jenseitsgöttin, sondern auch eine Norne, eine Walküre und eine Kriegerin. Zudem ist sie auch eine Priesterin, Zauberin und eine Heilerin. Freya kann viele Tier-Gestalten annehmen: Schwan, Stute, Ziege, Hindin, Sau u.a. Keine andere germanische Göttin hat einen derart vielfältigen Charakter. Die Göttin mit den Eigenschaften der Freya lässt sich unter verschiedenen Namen bis in die späte Altsteinzeit zurückverfolgen - ihre Symbolik ist ca. 50.000 Jahre lang dieselbe geblieben, da sie das Wichtigste für die Menschen dargestellt: die Muttergöttin im Diesseits und im Jenseits.
