Let’s celebrate the start of spring together! I want to invite you to join me on Mindfunda for a spring dream time celebration. This celebration is a part of my new online courses about Norse Mythology. Are you ready to join on March 20?
Start of Spring: a Promise of Fertility
After a period of darkness and hunger, the light comes back again. The lack of sun produced Vitamine D has caused your body to store more fat than you would like to admit.
In Norse Mythology, Freya, whose name is sometimes spelled as Freyia, is the Queen of love and fertility. But she is more than just beauty and boobs. She is “a goddess of witchcraft, seiðr (soothsaying), initiation, fate, death, wisdom and shape-changing” (Maria Kvilhaug in The Seed of Yggdrasil).
In this first lesson, that starts on the first day of spring March 20, you will get a more information about Freya. You will learn how she is connected to fertility and love, you will learn about her independency. You will discover how she is the goddess of faith.
Start of Spring: Shape – Shifting
Freja, Lady Sovereign, is a shape shifter. Many of you dreamers have had dreams in which you where another gender or another creature. Some of you have even shape – shifted during (lucid) dreams.
Springtime is the time for new life to come into being. Going into being is only possible by shape shifting.
How are you shaped shifting? In your life and in your dreams? Do you dare to change your form? Welcome new possibilities in your life. Embrace old traits of your personality that long to be integrated.
Spring is not only about new things. It is also about acknowledging how much your shape has shifted. You are a different person than you where a year ago. But still you feel like you. That is shape-shafting in its ultimate form.
Start of Spring: Freya as the Wicked Witch
Freya is a female shaman, a magician. In the shape of giantess Gondul she affects the fates of men. In her shape of the Great Ocean she is the Goddess of the Cosmos.
In ancient times, every woman with a wand was considered to be knowledgeable and powerful. Respected, free from harm.
This spring time celebration is an invitation to get out your wand and fly!

Hi Susanne, Dreaming with the shape shifting Freya is a perfect topic for spring. Love all your cartoons, so funny especially the first one … and so true! Just the thought of this Goddess makes me want to sit and write reams of poetry. Good luck with preparing your course, and your own shape-shifting. Warm wishes, Deborah.
Hi Deborah, thank you for your comment. Yes, in a way Freya represents the whole tarot-journey-of-life in one bundle of goddess-like energy.
