Freya, the Norse Goddess of Love

There were many attributes and possessions associated with Freya. She deemed pigs to be sacred to her, rode a boar and drove a chariot driven by cats. She was also said to have owned either a coat, cloak or dress which was made of falcon feathers. Freya was also associated with witchcraft and some myths record her teaching the practice to the Norse Aesir gods.  

Evidence for the boar comes from the Hyndluljóð, an ancient Norse poem, which names the animal Hildisvíni. Her brother Freyre was also said to own a boar named Gullinborsti. H. R. Ellis Davidson also links Freya to horses and argues that they were particularly associated with the goddess and were kept in her holy places.
