Freya, the goddess of love and beauty.

Freya is the most beautiful goddess among the gods, in charge of love and beauty. In Germanic countries, she and Frigga are one person. In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland, she is an independent god. When Freya came to the "Kingdom of the Gods", the gods were surprised by her extraordinary beauty, and immediately gave her the place of Falkvan and the hall of Cesrimnier. Among the gods in the "Kingdom of the Gods", no goddess is as elegant and clear as Freya; Her blonde hair is as bright as the sun, and her charming eyes are as blue as the clear sky; So beautiful and elegant words like "Lady" all describe the goddess Freya. Her favorite is music, spring, flowers and plants, and the bright fairy living in the "fairy land".

She has a husband Odur and two daughters Hnoss and Gersemi. Because they are very lovely girls, their names have become the floorboard of all lovely and precious things.

She is the joy of heaven and the mistress of the gods. Frost Giant and Mountain Giant tried their best to catch this goddess from the world of gods. They once turned into underground dwarves and built a wall for the "Kingdom of the Gods" in the cold winter in exchange for her. I also stole Thor's Hammer in exchange.

She has a precious necklace made by a dwarf. Wearing it can add more elegance and charm. However, for the bad luck brought by this necklace, this smiling and elegant goddess also experienced the taste of sadness and torture; In addition, she has a feather coat that allows her to fly between heaven and earth. The animal pulling her car is a cat-a symbol of sex appeal.

Freya is a "goddess of love and beauty", but she doesn't specifically refer to women's beauty and love for children, but also has a masculine side. Freya rode to the battlefield, fought for her deserved death, and placed her in the Palace of Cesrimnier. All the treatment here is the same as Odin's "Hall of the Soul". Valkyria can only take the rest of the dead to the "Hall of the Soul". In addition to the warriors who died in battle, the pure girls and faithful wives in the world will enter Sessrymnir Palace to reunite with their relatives after their death. This past life is the ideal life that Nordic women yearn for, so it is said that many women want to enter this palace and die. Because it represents the beauty of masculinity, Freya's upper body is a warrior's equipment, with gold armor, eagle helmet, shield and spear in his hand, and his lower body is an ordinary woman's costume.

Freya is also considered as the incarnation of the earth. Nordic mythology uses many goddesses to represent the natural phenomena of the earth, which is another example. In this sense, her husband symbolizes the summer sun-Nordic mythology often uses many male gods to symbolize the various phenomena of the sun in the four seasons.

There is a story about this impression.

Freya loves her husband very much, but Audoul's love is not so devoted. One day, when Odur was tired, he went out for a stroll and didn't know where to go. Freya stayed at home alone, crying. Her tears dripped on the stone, which softened; Fell into the soil and turned into gold in the depths of the ground; Fall into the sea and become transparent amber. After a long time, when Audoul didn't come back, Freya went out to look for him. She traveled all over the world in tears, so there is gold underground all over the world. Finally, under a pomegranate tree in the sunny south, Freya found Audoul. At that time, Freya was as happy as a newlywed.

In order to commemorate this pomegranate tree, brides in northern Europe wear pomegranate flowers to get married, which is still the case until modern times. Audoul is also regarded as a symbol of "passion" or "love" pursued by Freya.

It is generally believed that Friday is named after her.

Freya took it out of context.

The origin of the disaster

Frey was appointed as the Lord of "fairyland" and lived in fairyland most of the time. But his sister, the beautiful goddess Freya, still lives in the "Kingdom of the Gods"-Asger Le.

The palace where she lives is called Folkvang, and there is a magnificent hall called Sessrymnir. Freya often entertains guests in her palace, and there is an endless stream of guests all the year round.

Attracted by the beautiful, clear and sweet voice of the goddess, they often gather in Sessrymnir as guests.

Freya's husband's name is Audoul. He comes from a noble family and is proud by nature. When Audoul came to the "Kingdom of God" from his hometown, Freya was always very happy and happy.

Time passed smoothly, and Freya lived a life envied by the gods in the magnificent palace.

However, the unfortunate moment will come.

One day, she left the "Kingdom of the Gods" alone and went to the "hometown of goblins". Because it will soon be the day when Heimdahl, the patron saint of Hongqiao, and egil, the sea god, will hold a banquet together. Freya and Audoul will be invited to attend, and all the gods in the "Kingdom of Gods" will dress up for the banquet.

So Freya left her husband in the palace and went to "Wonderland" alone. On the one hand, I want to visit my long-lost brother, and at the same time I want to ask him for a crown made of a bright fairy to decorate myself.

But, somehow, I can't find Frey anyway. Freya began to worry that she couldn't go to "Fairyland". In fact, because she has been thinking about the decoration of the party, she has unconsciously passed the "goblin land", and now she is near the cave where the underground dwarf lives.

Freya suddenly felt the sun dim, as if it was near dusk. I couldn't help being surprised: "What is this place?"

The farther you go, the deeper the terrain, as if you were walking in a canyon with mountains on both sides. Soon, she came to the solid rock roof.

"Oh, this must be the land of dwarves I have heard of-Swa Thalheim. However, it's not annoying here! Although the sun is not bright, it is not so dark. "

She looked into the cave and saw countless dwarfs coming in and out of the innermost room. These dwarfs have a lamp on their hat brim and tools in their hands. They are busy digging for diamonds in the ground. Excavated gems are piled on the wall, which can be used to make crowns and bracelets, or hung on the ceiling as pendants.

Freya went into the innermost hall and saw four dwarfs guiding his men. But when the dwarfs saw Freya, they all rushed to the center of the hall, and finally restored order and continued their work. The four dwarfs frowned.

She clearly saw that what the gnomes were making turned out to be a dazzling jewelry necklace. Suddenly, Freya had a fountain-like desire for this beautiful necklace.

She asked the dwarf for this necklace, and the dwarf agreed, but on one condition-the beautiful goddess must spend four nights with them to warm the four of them.

"what!" The goddess looked at four ugly faces in horror and looked at her with malicious intent.

The goddess hesitated, but the desire in her heart took away Freya's reason. She nodded silently. "Ah! Hey! " After being promised, the dwarfs happily pushed Freya into the depths of the cave.

……

Four nights passed, and the flickering flames shone on the cave hall.

"Keep your promise!"

The goddess asked the dwarf for her necklace. The dwarfs stood up together with obscene expressions and handed the necklace to Freya. Then, they laughed loudly, and the laughter went straight to the tall and round roof and bounced back. The whole cave echoed with echoes.

Freya cocked his head slightly, held out his hand, held the necklace tightly with slender fingers, and then turned and ran as hard as he could, as if driven out by terrible laughter. Climbing from Longyong Road, we finally reached the foothills where the sun shines and the grass grows.

She sat on the grass and put the necklace around her slender white neck. Freya's timid figure is reflected in the lake in spring. She managed to suppress her excitement and happily returned to the "Kingdom of the Gods".

Freya ran up the Dali stone steps quickly, because she couldn't wait to show Audoul her necklace to win praise. Freya ran into her husband's room and a long skirt tripped, but Audoul was not in it.

I searched every house and every corner, but there was no Odur anywhere. Poor Freya is going crazy, her heart is hanging in the air, and there is no landing.

Her eyes were full of sadness, running back and forth in the hall, staring at everyone's face, but Audoul was not inside, and she couldn't find the only face anyway.

She found her irreplaceable husband missing. Freya's tears fell on Baoyu's necklace.

She fell to the door and sobbed. Dionysus of the "Land of the Gods" passed by Cesrimnier and stopped to comfort her one by one, but no one could make Freya's heart happy again.

Finally, Frigga, the mother of the gods, came. Mother God leaned over and said something to Freya. Sad Freya didn't quite understand Frigga's meaning, but every gentle, soothing and reproachful word was deeply imprinted in her heart. Finally, Freya made up his mind, finally stood up and walked to the seat of Odin.

"Father of the gods! Please listen to my plea and don't turn your face away. I searched every street in the kingdom of the gods and every room in Folkvang, but I still couldn't find Odur Odin. Please let me go out and find my husband. I will travel all over the earth, the sky, the ocean and the giant country to find my dear ones. "

Odin nodded piteously, extended his farewell hand and whispered, "Go! Freya, good luck! "

She stood up in tears, raised a hand in the air and called a golden cart dragged by two white cats. Sitting in a beautiful seat made of pure red silk, the golden car quietly flew to the sky with the late moon hanging. The golden roof reflected by Xia Hong gradually disappeared, and Freya kept waving goodbye. Since then, she has embarked on a lonely journey to find her missing husband.

The capital of mankind

Two white cats, with silver reins in their mouths, glided silently in the sky and on the ground. Freya let this beautiful car take her to every corner of the world.

No matter where you go, Freya's golden tears always keep flowing. Tears shining like gold flowed over pale cheeks and fell to the ground; Soon, everywhere Freya went, there were bright streams. While mumbling, these streams flow forward, bringing "beauty" and "sigh" to all countries in the world.

Freya's golden white cat car came to the metropolis of the human world. The car is driving silently and dreamily on the wide road.

"Odur probably won't stay in such an ordinary house. Don't look here yet."

Freya thought, driving directly to the palace. The golden car stopped in front of the heavily guarded palace. Freya asked the guards in gorgeous uniforms, "Is Audoul in this palace? Does Audoul live with the king? "

The guard kept shaking his head and replied, "I have never heard of this gentleman's name."

Freya left the palace, knocked on the door of the gorgeous house in the city with trembling hands, and asked about Audoul. But in this big city, no one has ever heard of the name Audoul.

Freya sailed to a narrow path and came to another small town. Everyone who lives here is very poor. But there is still no way to find the whereabouts of Odur among them. Everyone who was asked replied, "No, he isn't here." Staring at Freya, the lighting examiner, in surprise.

With the deepening of dusk, Freya came to the grassland in a daze with sadness. The palaces of the nobles and the huts of the poor were left behind by golden carriages. The car stopped at the silent lake, and Freya got off and sat on the grass, staring at the mirror-calm water alone.

Nightmare

That night, under the moon and stars, Freya lay on the grass by the lake and fell asleep. Are you still crying in your dreams? Golden tears dripped from the corner of my eyes to the soft grass.

Suddenly, a black figure came to the sleeping lake in Freya and sat beside her, hugging the picturesque cheeks of the goddess in the moonlight. The shadow turned out to be Loki! Loki whispered terrible words in Freya's sleeping ear;

"If you are not satisfied with your husband, go and find what you really want! This is the most correct way! Freya, just think about your beautiful clothes and don't think about Audoul. This is the wisest thing to do! You went to the land of dwarves and got a rare treasure, so your husband abandoned you. But isn't a beautiful necklace worth more than that fickle husband? Why are you crying? Freya, why are you so scared? "

Freya groaned and twisted her body, trying to free her face from this cold and terrible hand, but she couldn't get rid of it without saying anything. The terrible nightmare was on her chest.

"ah! The necklace is going to suck me in! "

In the dream, Freya cried and kept beating her chest with her little fist. At this time, there was a terrible laugh from the "land of dwarfs" far underground, which suddenly echoed on the rock dome of the underground cave and shook the earth where Freya was located. Loki jumped with fright and quickly disappeared before Freya opened his eyes.

The moon rose and looked down at the lake like Freya. The face of the "Goddess of the Night" reflected in the water mirror is quiet, elegant and pure. However, Freya's image on the same water surface is so confused, delicate and timid.

That beautiful necklace is also reflected in the water, which is a rare treasure in the world. Reflected in the microwave, like a flickering lamp. The bright moon in the sky, although there is no beautiful necklace, looks very happy against the deep night sky and sparkling stars.

Steel forest, wilderness

It's already morning. Freya took the lake as a mirror. After dressing, she started a long and endless journey. When bidding farewell to the shadow on the lake, Freya suddenly muttered:

"The necklace is really beautiful, but sometimes it is too heavy!"

Since then, Freya has visited countless capitals, towns and villages to inquire about her husband. But in this vast world, no one told her husband's whereabouts. The lonely journey seems to have no end. Now, she is determined to go to the land of giants.

On this day, Freya came to the vast iron forest, which is one of the roads from the human world to the giant country. The name "Tielin" is no exaggeration. The towering trees are dark and hard, as if to tear the sky with branches and leaves like hungry claws.

There is a witch sitting in the forest. Behind her is a dark forest, with a terrible face facing the vast wilderness. The forest is full of witches' children, including wolves, bears, foxes and big birds with huge bodies and many heads.

Freya got out of the golden car and approached the witch trembling.

"Excuse me, mother-in-law, do you know where Odur is?"

The witch stared at Freya with red silk in her eyes and replied as if she were spitting something: "I don't know what you are talking about, even if I did, I don't have time to reply to your stupid words!" "

The wicked words of the witch pierced Freya's heart like a sharp sword, and Freya could not draw it. She stood for a long time and blood dripped from the wound in her heart.

The biting wind roared past, and cold tears tore her face. Freya didn't know what to do. Finally, the witch screamed, "Let's go! Why cry! "

Freya had to get on the bus again and continue to the west, continuing her hopeless journey.

On this day, she came to a dense forest, where lived a taciturn Vidal. Vidal is a hermit. He doesn't like living in a gorgeous kingdom. Therefore, he asked his father Odin's permission to live alone in the forest at the end of the world.

"Vidal is a member of the protoss, and he will definitely help me!"

The golden cart galloped towards the endless forest like a breeze blowing through the grass, and the wheels didn't make a sound. The faint light reflected the outline of trees, and there was no sound or moving shadow.

Freya, with hope, can't wait to urge the golden carriage to fly away, and finally came to the thatched cottage with interlaced branches and leaves and overgrown weeds.

Vidal sat stiffly like an old tree, as silent as night, with long grass growing from loose hair and bush branches crisscrossing like cobwebs covering his eyes. Bright green moss covered his ears, and shiny white dew stained his long beard.

"It is not easy to find Vidal from these branches and leaves. Mossy ears, can you hear my voice? "

Freya can't help but sigh. She pushed the branches away in despair, approached Vidal, knelt on the ground and begged, "Vidal! Please tell me, is Audoul hiding in the forest or wandering on the vast Yuan Ye in the west! " Vidal didn't answer, but looked at Freya with cold eyes, which were like the faint sunshine leaking from the leaves. "Probably not," Freya said to himself.

She did not hesitate to hurt her shoulder and chest. She pushed aside the iron branches and approached Vidal. She cried and said, "Vidal, please tell me, is Audoul wrapped here?"

Vidal was as silent as a stone, and Freya buried his eyelids in his knees and sobbed violently. After a long time, I looked up and said, "isn't anyone willing to help me?" When I was in such pain, God and witches refused to help me! "

Adjusted her clothes, left her shiny long hair behind, got into the car slowly, and Freya began to walk aimlessly again.

seaside

After a long wandering journey, Freya finally came to the quiet sea, and it was another dusk. The burning sunset sky is like a big red flower in full bloom. The breeze can't blow the waves, only gentle ripples swing to the shore and become rosy bubbles, just like people's smiling faces when they play.

On closer inspection, it turned out that egil, the old Poseidon, came to the beach. The cold microwave gently washed his chest, and the nine waves were egil's nine beautiful daughters. Egil seems to be listening to the whispers of the waves. He looks very old, but his behavior is as pure as a baby.

Freya quietly approached Poseidon and listened to the dialogue between the goddess of the waves and her father. Neptune never found it. He simply asked his daughters:

"What's the story of Freya?"

On hearing his name, Freya pricked up his ears and dared not miss a word.

The first wave stroked Neptune's finger and said, "Freya is a beautiful young goddess. Before, I lived in the kingdom of God and lived a happy life. "

The second wave added in a low voice: "But, Dad, Freya abandoned her husband Audoul and left the beautiful palace alone."

The third and fourth waves said, "She went to the underground dwarf's cave. I got a beautiful necklace there and took it back to the kingdom of God. "

The 5th Wave replied sadly, "But when she returned to the beautiful palace, Audoul was gone."

The sixth wave said, "This is because Freya loves herself more than her noble husband." The seventh wave bowed sadly and whispered, "Alas! Freya, you can never live a happy life with your husband again, because Audoul will never come back! "

The eighth wave also said sadly: "As long as the world exists for one day, Audoul will not come back!" "

Finally, the ninth wave snuggled up to his father's knee and said with a sigh, "Yes, Audoul will never return to Freya's waiting home, and Freya will never stop crying."

Freya stood motionless, as if forbidden by magic. When she heard the terrible words "Audoul will never come back", she hid her face, leaned down and shed a series of tears.

Just then, the waves suddenly churned and kept calling to his father, "Oh, father, there is a disaster raging in the vast sea." Wave after wave, our souls are shocked! "As they say, the sea is endless, the whole commotion has not stopped, and the sound of the tides ringing in the sky is getting louder and louder. In the distance, you can see Ran after the sea casting his net, waiting for his prey.

Egil let out a cry and jumped into the deep sea. The sky and the sea glared at each other, tearing and wrestling with each other. The shadow of "night" gradually expanded and covered the whole storm. Freya was exhausted and fell asleep on the cold beach. Soon, she was picked up by a goddess and sent back to the kingdom of God.

Since then, Freya's dear Audoul has never come back, and Freya's tears have never flowed for a day.
