The story & symbolism
The Freya amulet features elements of her that have survived and I've listed them below. I tried to make her look strong, proud and confident - as I believe these are her main traits. I've left aside the whole whitegurlsummer vibe she has going on, with the frat parties and springbreak in Lindisfarne type of stories, and decided to rather focus on her true identity in my opinion - as a strong minded goddess. She can be worn by the braid as all female pendants that I make.
Face art
She can be seen crying, this is a reference to her crying tears of gold while missing her husband. It's told that her husband named Od would disappear and she would look for him throughout Midgard.
Frontside elements
Wearing her necklace Brísingamen which was a shiny necklace or torc that Freya had, I tried to loosely base it on a find from Östergötland. She is also seen holding something that has a spiral shape, this is a reference to Seidr - the magic of spinning and weaving which Freya also teaches to Odin. From her hands fall small braidlike figures, these are actually references to souls that she picks for Folkvangr and they are being weaved into her dress - this is like a metaphor for becoming hers.
The braid
She can be seen with an elegant braid running from the top of her head and her hair being shaved from the side. This is just a hairstyle I really like when it's shaved on the side, no other meaning to this sorry :D But I find it fitting for her character, the top braid though is strong and also a reference to Seidr.
Falcon cloak
And her mighty cloak, which is made up of falcon feathers that she can use to fly. This cloak is also borrowed by gods to grant them the ability to fly.
