{"product_id":"viking-drinking-horn-freya-and-her-cats","title":"Viking Drinking Horn — Freya \u0026 Her Cats","description":"\u003cp\u003eFreya is the most powerful of the Norse goddesses — goddess of love, fertility, magic, war, and death. She rides not a horse but a chariot pulled by two great cats: Bygul and Trjegul. Their names mean Bee-gold and Tree-gold — both words for amber, the colour of their coats and a stone sacred to Freya herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBygul and Trjegul are no ordinary cats. They are large enough to pull a goddess across the sky, fierce enough to be gifts worthy of Freya from the god Freyr. They represent her dual nature — the softness of love and the ferocity of a warrior. Freya weeps tears of red gold when she searches for her lost husband Óðr, and she takes half of all those slain in battle to her hall, Sessrúmnir, in the field of Fólkvangr. Even Odin only gets the other half.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA goddess of contradictions, carved on a horn.
