My Name is Freya – Poetry
(Freya 2nd Edition created by the artist Samantha Chilton of SJChilton on Etsy and can be purchased from there.)
My name is Freya, Goddess of Love
And yet I am no stranger to death
Upon the battlefields you will find me
Collecting warriors from their untimely death
With death comes life – rebirth
With day comes night
My husband Odur is the symbol of the summer sun
But now you and I celebrate the return to darkness
The Wheel of Life turns round and round
So now before we turn inwards
Celebrate all that you have achieved
Celebrate all that you are
Stand tall with the mighty oak, the tree of courage
He holds the doorway to your inner strength
On those dark nights look back
Remember the first swallow that returned bringing hope and joy
And as you gather round the winter fires remember the fire of the sun
The warmth and heat upon your face
Remember those heady days of freedom and
Remember that the wheel turns ever more
And the light will return once more
Until then celebrate you
Dance light of foot and feel the heat of the sun
Watch the swallows fill the skies
Until next time dear friends
Until next time.

I work with Spirit, offering support and encouragement to others on their journey of awakening, bringing spirit-led healing to the whole of their being. Together we will pull on the threads of Seidr (Norse/Northern Traditions) and weave them into a healing tapestry along with techniques from Core Shamanism.
