The Messed Up Origins™ of Freya, Goddess of Love and War

Freya is one of the most complicated gods in the Norse Pantheon. Not only is her backstory full of mystery, there's a chance that at one point she was actually the SAME goddess as Frigg: Odin's wife! In this episode of The Messed Up Origins™ Podcast we're going to dive DEEP into her mythology to try and solve some of these mysteries, and explore the stories that the developers of God of War Ragnarök used to create their own unique version of the goddess.
