In Sweden, the life-size wooden image of this Lord of animal and vegetation fertility was carried in spring by wagon to marry his sweetheart Gerd. He was accompanied by a maiden chosen to represent his consort-sister Freya. This gentle phallic god, much like Celtic Kernunnos, is associated with stag, bull, board and stallion.

This Norse Goddess sometimes rode upon the boar, Hildisvini, probably a metaphorical image of sacred sexuality designed to bring crop fertility. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, magic, death and sex. She is also a warrior goddess and possesses great wisdom and magick. She, along with her twin brother Freyr, are part of a race of gods known as the Vanir. She is known as "the Lady" and Queen of the Valkyries. She wears the sacred necklace Brisingamen. The cat is her sacred symbol. The day Friday (Frejyasdaeg) was named for her.

Odin Norse God ITEM NO: SS-OP
ITEM NAME: Odin
SIZE: 7" H
MATERIAL: Resin
FINISH: Blue Wash
RETAIL PRICE: $29.00

Odin (Wotan, Woden) was the Father of all Gods and men. He was worshiped throughout disparate cultures and has conflicting legends ascribed to him. He appears in guises ranging from a hunched old man with one eye wearing a deep slouch hat to the "Allfather" of gods and men. Some legends have him as a mighty wizard and others as a mortal king who lead his people to their new homeland. He could travel to any realm in the nine worlds. His two raven companions, Huginn and Munin (Thought and Memory) fly over Midgard (the world of men) and return daily to tell him what has happened. He is the god of magick, wisdom, wit and learning. During Viking times he was associated with war and bloodshed, although not in earlier times. In order to gain the knowledge and power of the runes, Odin hangs himself upside down on the Tree of Yggdrasill.

Though some today consider him the equivalent of Zeus or Jupiter in the Norse pantheon, the Romans actually equated him with Mercury.

Thor Norse God of Thunder ITEM NO: SS-NT
ITEM NAME: Thor
SIZE: 7" H
MATERIAL: Ganges Clay
FINISH: Green/Bronze Color
RETAIL PRICE: $30.00

Thor, the Thunderer, controlled weather during the brief growing season, hence he was the most important of the Norse gods. He was considered to be the son of Odin, by some March 18, 2008 . He is considered the protector of Migard and he wields a mighty hammer called Mjollnir. His hammer Mjollnir created lightening and thunder. Of all the gods, Thor is considered the most "barbarian" but is still faithful to the rest of Aesir. Thursday (Thorsdaeg) is sacred to him. He was originally a bull-god. May his vitality make you strong!
[Icelandic image, date unknown].
