"Freya" Goddess of love, fertility and spring - statue / figurine, bronzed

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

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

"Freya/Freyja" was originally the form of address for "lady" / "woman," and it was only later that "Freya" became the proper name of the goddess.
Freya is also considered the mistress of cats. Her chariot is pulled through the air and above 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 regarded as a lucky charm. The number "7" is also considered 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"; it is derived from the syllables "sem" (seven) and "ya" (I), meaning the seven generations before me and myself! This is to be understood as ancestral heritage, carrying the good name of the seven generations before one with honor and bringing no shame upon them.
