The Sacred Space Conference

The Norse God Yngvi-Freyr has a long history. Different facets of his nature have come to the fore in different eras. Two of his aspects are especially relevant today: his emerging role as a champion of wild places and wild creatures, and his historical importance as lord of friðr, which means something like “peace that is actively cultivated and maintained.” We will discuss both of these aspects in relation to both ancient sources and modern experience. I will also share some prayers and practices for honoring and working with Freyr.
