It is from this Nordic Goddess of love, war and fertility that we derive the name ‘Friday’. Patroness of war, she ends life in order to perpetuate it – as fallen war heroes come to understand as they arrive in her great hall in the afterlife.
Freja loves all things that give pleasure. She indulges in love, romance and lovemaking, and stops at nothing to get what she wants (even on the war-path!) Freja's gifts are those that make us overjoyed to be alive – passion for tenderness, grace, compassion, delight and laughter.
If you are feeling stuck in a rut, list five things that are irritating you, and five things you are grateful for. Burn the list of irritations and focus on the good things that bring a spring to your step. Friday is the day to get back to your passion, and get your passion back.
