Freyja

Freyja, in Scandinavian Mythology, the goddess of love, who dispenses all joys, delights, and pleasures. She was wont to drive out in a chariot drawn by two cats. She claimed one-half of those slain in battle. She wept golden tears for her husband, who had travelled into distant countries. This goddess was particularly worshipped in Sweden. Freyja gave her name as the general designation for all women of rank and wealth in medieval times (frowwa = frau). See FRIGGA.
