"Freya" Goddess of Love, Fertility and Spring - Statue / Figure, bronzed
Freya (Old Norse: Freyja, meaning "Lady") is the name of the Norse goddess of love and fertility.
She is considered the second most important goddess in the Norse pantheon after Frigg, with whom she is often equated or confused in modern interpretations. She is similar to Venus in the Roman pantheon.
"Freya/Freyja" was originally a term of address for "Lady/Woman" and only later did "Freya" become the proper name of the goddess.
Freya is also considered the mistress of cats. Her chariot is pulled through the air and over the clouds by two cats. Freya's cats are named Bygul (bee-gold/honey) and Trjegul (tree-gold/amber).
The ladybug is considered the sacred animal of the goddess Freya. The beetle with the seven spots was considered a lucky beetle. The number "7" is also considered a lucky number in various nature religions and is often associated with the four elements: water, fire, earth, air, and the three divine symbols: heaven, sun, and moon.
In the Russian (Indo-European) language "семья" (sem'ya), translated as "family"; from the syllables "sem" (seven) and "ya" (I), meaning the seven generations before me and I! To be understood as an ancestral heritage and to carry on the good name of the seven generations before one with honor and not bring shame upon it.
