Lady Freyja

In this episode, I am talking about Freyja, stories about her in nordic mythology, and how she affected the Viking Age people. I also describe why she was annoying to the Christian religion and the possibilities of the existence of female Viking warriors. Sources: - SINCLAIR, S. C. 2011.
