Although she had many affairs she loved her husband deeply and when he went missing she cried tears of gold. She set out to find him by transforming herself into a bird with her magical cloak.

The shadow aspect is obsessive passion that completely takes over and negatively impacts on your health and self esteem.

Freya is a very passionate Goddess with many lovers yet she still care deeply for her husband Od. She also enjoys romantic music.

Warrior represents physical strength, and the ability to protect and fight for your rights and those of of others.

Whilst the shadow side of the Warrior reflects the need to win at all costs, abandoning ethical principals to prove your supremacy.

This Goddess of war was entitled to the souls of half of the bravest warriors who died in battle. She invited them to stay with her on her land and extended this hospitality to their wives and lovers.

NEVER leave candles burning unattended

Please note:
Make sure that the first time you burn your candle; you make it a
memory burn. A memory burn is a complete wet pool of hot wax on the top of
your candle. When you have done this snuff out your candle and wait till cool to re light.This will ensure that every time you burn your candle, you will not
have any tunneling around the wick, or extra wax stuck to the sides of the
container. Establishing a memory burn will also allow for your scent throw to be
the best possible since you are using all of your scented wax completely.
