“I am the embodiment of Shakti, the divine feminine power that moves the universe. I am the fierce Kali, destroyer of ignorance and protector of the righteous.”
—Mahakali
Lord Shiva took one look at her and literally became the first man ever to say “She could step on me and I'd say 'thank you'. ✨

The Evermore Grimoire: Norse Mythology
Freyja (meaning ‘the Lady’ in Old Norse) was the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, gold, war, sorcery and death in Norse mythology. She was also the leader of the Valkyrie, also known as the ‘Choosers of the Slain’ warrior maidens who rode over battlefields on winged horses, taking the souls of warriors killed in battle to feast in Valhalla. Freyja however claimed half of the warriors for her own hall in Folkvang. She also owned a necklace called Brísingamen, rode a chariot pulled by two cats and was accompanied by the boar Hildisvíni, and even possessed a cloak of falcon feathers.
