Ok, so I’m really an Agnostic to be truthful (The “I don’t care, yet I have morals; and don’t necessarily rule out the possibility of God existing” Religion), but sometimes – yes – I like to delve into the realm of Goddess-based religions (mainly out of my Femi-Nazi streak).
So, during my self-absorbed Pagan studies, looksee what I came across while searching for some frelling cool Goddesses to admire:
Freya – Goddess of Love and Beauty
Now, why is she so perfectly cool for the wheelchair-using ladies of this world?
Why, she uses a chariot of course!
Now if you ask me, any Goddess who permanently resides her arse on a wheeled-transport device of any kind, is my kind of Goddess.
“Freya or Frayja, the goddess of Love and Beauty, also; fertility, war, and wealth. The daughter of Njord, and the sister of Frey. Her daughter, by her husband, Od, is named Hnoss, who it is said: “Is so beautiful that whatever is valuable and lovely is named treasure after her….
Norse legend tells of Freya, whose chariot was pulled by two black cats. Some versions of the tale claim they became swift black horses, possessed by the Devil. After serving Freya for 7 years, the cats were rewarded by being turned into witches, disguised as black cats. The cats also played around her ankles as a symbol of her domesticity.”
Freya definitely gets my Brownie Points for “Cool Shite o’ the Day.”
And out of curiosity: Who would you worship if you had to pick an inanimate object?
– Tiff
