Freya, goddess of love, fertility, and spring, bronzed figure

Freya (Old Norse Freyja, "Lady") is the name of the North Germanic goddess of love and fertility.

She is considered the most important goddess of the Norse pantheon after Frigg, with whom she is often equated or confused in modern interpretations. She is similar to Venus in the Roman pantheon.

"Freya/Freyja" was originally a term of address for "lady" / "woman," and only later did "Freya" become the proper name of the goddess.
Freya is also considered the mistress of cats. Her chariot is pulled through the air and over the clouds by two cats. Freya's cats are named Bygul (bee-gold / honey) and Trjegul (tree-gold / amber).

The ladybug is considered a sacred animal of the goddess Freya. The seven-spotted beetle was considered a lucky charm. The number "7" is also regarded as a lucky number in various nature religions and is often associated with the four elements: water, fire, earth, air, and the three divine symbols: heaven, sun, and moon.
In the Russian (Indo-European) language "семья" (sem'ya) translates to "family"; from the syllables "sem" (seven) and "ya" (I), meaning the seven generations before me and myself! This is to be understood as ancestral heritage, to honorably carry on the good name of the seven generations before one and to bring no shame upon it.
