    Freyja and ravens?

    I heard today that ravens are Freyja's sacred bird. I knew she was able to turn into a falcon, but I heard she can also turn into a raven? Anyone else come across this info?

    There's nothing in the Lore linking ravens to Freya.
    I often wish that I had done drugs in the '70s. At least there'd be a reason for the flashbacks. - Rick the Runesinger

    For the Yule was upon them, the Yule; and they quaffed from the skulls of the slain,
    And shouted loud oaths in hoarse wit, and long quaffing swore laughing again.

      Backing up Rick on this one...can you provide a reference to what said they were tied to her?

      The closest thing to that I've ever heard before is very round about: people arguing that the Valkyries are like battlefield ravens. Since Freya is their leader, that might loosely tie her to the birds.

      Everything lore I can think of ties ravens to Odin, though. Freya is always falcons and the big Norwegian Forest Cats.

        It wasn't a specific reference, but a person. I absolutely agree with you both, just wanted to see if anyone else had heard of this or if I got stuck with someone with unreliable info

          I know I am a bit late but I think you are confusing Freya with Morrighan, who appears in Celtic traditions.
