Freya
I will hail the Goddess of gold,
Hostage to the Gods, delight of Her kin.
I will
praise Her with amber and wine, flowers and honey,
for She is Goddess of
beauty, eroticism, and desire.
I will celebrate Her abundance,
Her gifts of
wealth and fruitful plenty.
She brings luck, fertility, and creative fire,
and
Her presence is found
amid the moaning cry of lovers,
hidden within the rhythm of
their entwined limbs.
I will call Her luck-bringer,
for Her fingers are deft at
untangling
the snares of a gnarled wyrd,
and sometimes the tangles are of Her
making.
I will praise Her as strong in magic,
cunning, skillful, and battle-wise.
I
will summon Her forth with song of steel,
for She is fierce and shows no
mercy.
The field of combat is as sweet as the battlefield of love,
and in both,
She is the victor.
She is sweetness and fury, molten flame,
the sharp edge of a
killing blade.
She is danger and desire, unquenchable, unstoppable.
She will tease and entice,
transforming the soul.
She is pleasure and pain so deeply bound
there is no
separation.
I hail Freya, Shining Goddess of the Vanir.
She blinds with Her
beauty, seduces with Her fury.
I hail Her in Her fullness, in battle, witchcraft,
and love.
I raise this horn in Her honor.
Hail, Freya!
