Freyja is one of the Vanir, the older fertility deities who joined the Aesir after a war, and she holds love, fertility, gold, war, and seiðr — the magic she teaches to Odin himself. She receives half the battle-slain to her hall, with Odin taking the other half, a detail that is easy to miss and difficult to overstate. Her cat-drawn chariot and the necklace Brísingamen are her marks, and she is the tradition's clearest counterexample to the assumption that the Norse pantheon was chiefly masculine.
