Freya is the unapologetic goddess of love and sexuality in Norse mythology. We celebrate her on May 1, Beltaine, a cross-quarter day between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. As described in Elizabeth Cunningham’s first book of the Maeve Chronicles, Magdalen Rising, in which Mary Magdalen is brilliantly transmogrified into a Celtic goddess, “the [...]

Virtually no other goddess brings to mind the feminine qualities of love and beauty like Aphrodite. She is a Greek goddess who is actually a later incarnation of the Great Mother, goddess of fertility, and all that is. She is an archetype harkening back to Neolithic times and beyond.
