    8. FREY AND FREYJA. — Njorth of Noatun, as we have said, had had two children in Vanaheim, a son, Frey, and a daughter, Freyja. Frey is the grandest among the Aesir; he governs the rain and sunshine and thereby the products of the earth; wherefore men shall call upon him to obtain good years and times of peace, as he also governs men’s happiness with reference to the gods. His dwelling is called Alfheim. His sister, Freyja, is the most excellent among the Asynjur, and dwells in heaven in the castle which is called Folkvang.

Collingwood (1908) Page 138, published 1908. The list of illustrations in the front matter of the book gives this one the title The Lovesickness of Frey..

    Frey — Nordic God of Rain and Sun. In Sweden the life-size wood image of this Lord of Animal and Vegetative Fertility was carried in Spring by wagon, accompanied by a maiden chosen to represent his consort-sister Freya.
    Frey is consonant with the dying-resurrecting Roman deity Priapus, his annual sacred joining with Freya bringing rebirth to the land. The Norse and Germanic feast of Yule celebrated Frey’s reemergence; Yule log and tree are the god’s personae hidden within our festival of Christmas. Frey wielded a phallic sword, and in this depiction rides the indomitable boar, Celtic symbol of prosperity, virility and ceremonial feasting. —picture and text © 1996 JBL Statues (now called Sacred Source), original text created by Tom Laudeman

    Brisingamen Disk — The Sacred Marriage of Frey and Freya is shown in this pictograph dating from about 500 BCE and discovered in Maltagarden, Denmark. Carved upon the sandstone lid of a cremation urn, Freya’s ornate necklace Brisingamen may have symbolized the Sun, whose thawing of winter ice gave its solar disc feminine qualities in the Norse/Germanic traditions. Note the phallic god, and the goddess identified by her crescent moon. The fir tree fertility symbol that adjoins Freya has also been identified as an ear of grain.
