Mythology Summary
Freya the Warrior is Freyja in her battle aspect, who takes half the slain for Folkvangr and who taught seidr to the gods. She is kept as her own form because the magic and the war are read as a different working from the goddess of love and gold; this is a modern devotional aspect-form, not an attested separate goddess or ancient cult.
Modern Practice
This aspect is called on before a fight and in battle magic, and by women working with seidr. Her practice is the choosing done deliberately and the half-share taken.
