Class Spotlight: Faces of Freya
If there is one Norse goddess everyone knows, it’s probably Freyja, but She is a lot more than a goddess of love and beauty. She has many names, and many faces. Join us to meet her at Sessrumnir, the “many-seated hall”.
This is one of the classes on our Virtual Track, presented by Diana Paxson, who will also be doing Elements of Heathenry.
