In Norse mythology, Freyja is a powerful Viking goddess associated with love, beauty, and war. Often depicted as both a witch and a warrior, she embodies the duality of feminine strength and magic. Freyja is often symbolized by the butterfly, representing transformation and the fleeting nature of beauty. As a goddess of love, she was known to have adorned herself with luxurious jewelry and was even said to shed tears of red gold. Freyja commanded the Valkyries, warrior maidens who chose fallen heroes to dwell in her hall in the afterlife. With her enchanted falcon feathered cloak and her feline companions, Freyja was a formidable goddess both on and off the battlefield.
