Hi, sweetie, how are you? I see you work with Freyja. She is a goddess I would like to start working with but I don't know how to start, any advice? I would like leave a candle with her runes as an offering. But I don't know what kind of protection I should use to avoid calling other kinds of spirits or energy since I've never tried to work with gods or goddesses before and I'm scared to summon something other than her. Thank you if you take the time to reply 💚
Hello my love!! I'd love to give some advice on freyja!!♡☆
Freyja
Freyja is one of the most approachable deities you could work with. Freyja taught the Aesir Seidr, and enjoyed teaching others about the art. She would love to work with you as well, but only if you are ready to recieve.
I believe one of the best ways to contact her is through trance, as that is how she herself did magick.
Offerings are a wonderful way to start building a relationship before you try to meet. I've discovered she really loves apples and chocolates. She also enjoys tangerines. But one of the biggest offerings that she really loves, is the act of s*x. Doing that stuff in her name. Ever since I formed a stronger relationship with her, s*x with my partner has been insanely amazing, which is a benefit I suppose to working with her lol.
You need to understand her, and what she is about. She is a warrior, a völva, and a goddess of fertility. She is the goddess of the vanir, daughter of njörd, twin sister to freyr. She is the goddess of pain and pleasure. I recommend that you read about her before moving forward, and familiarize yourself with the elder futhark as she mostly communicates in runes. (At least for me)
Smaller acts to build the relationship
Fighting for what you believe in
Embracing your body
Doing what you want to do and not listening to haters
Taking care of yourself
Meditation
Trance
Learning seidr
Read the poetic and prose edda
Bath time
Wear amber
How I contacted her
After a building the relationship a bit and reading about her, I decided to try and reach out to her. I made a concoction of mugwort and lavender and drank it 30 min before entering a special bath. I burned incense and candles and myrrh and made a verbal ward. I turned off the lights and I lay in the water for about 30 min and meditated on my intention "show me how to begin" (in terms of learning seidr and worshiping her) and lots of runes were revealed to me in a specific order and afterwards when I wrote them out it gave me a message and I followed it. It may not be as straightforward for you, or it may be slightly different, but there are also guided meditations on YouTube that you could use.
As for protection:
Wards. Warding is your best bet as you can set your own conditions and keep randoms out and freyja in. Ward the space that you're going to do it. Ward your mind. Ward your body. Just make sure the conditions aren't too tight.
Let me know if you still have questions! My dms are also always open if you'd like to discuss things more privately ~☆♡☆~
