Goddess Freyja Poem by Jürgen Wagner

Goddess of love, of beauty, of spell,
Of warriors fierce and the dead as well
Springtime's face with enchanting grace,
A strong driving force and a tender embrace

Two cats drew forth her chariot bright,
At home, she was Odr's heart's delight
She rode the boar and soared like hawks,
As 'The Lady' she stood in divine talks

Odin she taught her magical practice
With Loki she battled, a seer, attractive
She sang in trance, received her sight,
And spoke her spell with inner light

Her husband Odr was often away,
She wept golden tears, longed for his stay
She led the Valkyries into the war,
And guided the dead to peace ever more

She still lingers, ardent and wise,
In the morning mist and twilight skies,
In gentle blossoms of early spring,
In passion, that lovers make glow and sing
