Freyja (‘lady’ in Old Norse) is a Nordic goddess of beauty, love, fertility and vegetation. Her attribute was a golden amber necklace – Brisingamen. It was made for the goddess by dwarfs from Svartalfheim—the Nordic land of dwarfs. As compensation, Freja had to give herself to each of them. Freyja rides a chariot pulled by two cats.
