The Messed Up Origins™ of Freya, Goddess of Love and War

Freya is one of the most complicated gods in the Norse Pantheon. Not only is her backstory full of mystery, there's a chance that at one point she was actually the SAME goddess as Frigg: Odin's wife! In this episode of The Messed Up Origins™ Podcast we're going to dive DEEP into her mythology to try and solve some of these mysteries, and explore the stories that the developers of God of War Ragnarök used to create their own unique version of the goddess. ► Messed Up Origins™ Socials! » https://twitter.com/MessedUpOrigins » https://www.instagram.com/messeduporigins/ ► SOLOFAM MERCH: » https://bit.ly/SoloFamMerch ► Support the series on Patreon! » https://www.patreon.com/JonSolo ► Want more? » MORE Norse Mythology: http://bit.ly/NorseMythologyExplained » ALL Messed Up Origins: https://bit.ly/MessedUpOrigins » Featured Folklore (the animated series!): https://bit.ly/featuredfolklore » Disney Explained: https://bit.ly/DisneyExplained » ALL Mythology Explained: https://bit.ly/MythologyExplained » Folklore Explained: https://bit.ly/FablesExplained » Astrology: http://bit.ly/AstrologyExplained » Messed Up Murders: https://bit.ly/MurderPlaylist ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► Social Media: » Twitter: https://twitter.com/JonSolo » Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/JonSolo » Facebook Fan Page: https://facebook.com/TheRealJonSolo » Official Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/jonsolo ► Join the Official Channel Discord: » https://www.patreon.com/JonSolo ► Send Fan Mail to: » [email protected] ► Business: » [email protected] (Business Inquiries ONLY) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▼ Credits ▼ » Researched, Written, and Filmed by: Jon Solo » Edited by: Mary Tuck ▼ Resources ▼ » my favorites: https://messeduporigins.com/books » Prose Edda, translated by Anthony Faulkes: https://amzn.to/3duNXal » Poetic Edda, translated by Dr. Jackson Crawford: https://amzn.to/3xOGJab *those are affiliate links btw – we get a kickback from purchases :)*
