Add to My List Check Off

Freya Castle is a 7,299 feet (2,225 m) mountain peak in Grand Canyon National Park that is best viewed from Angel's Window Overlook, just east of Cape Royal on the North Rim. Freya was the goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, wealth, divination and magic in Norse mythology. She wore a cloak of feathers which allowed her to change into a falcon. She had a chariot pulled by two cats, and she had a wild boar, which was actually her human lover in disguise. When she wore her enchanted necklace (the Brisingamen), which she obtained by sleeping with the four dwarves who made it, she was irresistible to men. The souls of half of all warriors killed in battle go to her beautiful palace, Folkvang, where they are joined by their wives and lovers.
