FREYA’S AWAKENING

A New Beginning

by Karen L Boshaw

2013

Time of the Gods and Goddess had past centuries ago. Christianity rose up and defeated the minor deities. Ivory, a High Priestess and her coven has decided it is time to awaken their goddess Freya and find that nothing is as easy as they think it would be. A whole new problem by the name of Zeus interferes while the Fates claim Ivory’s daughter as their own White High Priestess. To top it all of an incredibly handsome Enforcer by the name of Michael tries to tell her what she can and can’t do.

CHAPTER ONE

Brushing off her hands on her jeans Ivory looked over the ceremonial circle. It was finished at last! In the center a willow altar that was constructed by Isaac took the prominent position of honor while, four white pillars that stood three feet High was placed in between the north, east, south, west points in the circle. She had finished their special ceremonial gowns last night and put on the finishing touches of a faux fur cape, and a white gown. Carrie had found the perfect sandals at Payless and Nolan had found a necklace in a pawn shop that was rumored to have belonged to Freya. Smiling she realized everything was perfect.

At seven o’clock that evening they would meet her and beginning the ceremony that will hopefully change their lives for the better. It was a long shot that they would be able to awaken Freya but it was one everyone was willing to take. Nothing ventured nothing gain. They asked Jord to bless the circle last night in preparation for tonights ceremony. Today was Ostara which symbolizes a rebirth and today would be the day they would call to awaken Freya. All of the planets would be aligned and in place for the maximum power at 8:03 pm.

Okay everybody that is a wrap. Go home and prepare yourself for the ceremony. Glancing down at her watch Ivory noted it was already 2:00pm. Don’t forget to use the special wash that Carrie gave each one of you and drink your tea. We need to be purified if we are going to pull this off. Ivory instructed.

No one rushed off as they hiked back to their cars in the parking lot. Energy was High and anticipation Higher yet. Her group of prophets came from all walks of life but they all had one thing in common. They believed in changing the world for the better and believed this was the only way they could bring forth the change. They were doing the right thing and they could all feel it. Getting in her car she watched as everyone left and she was the last to pull out. Within two minutes she pulled into her driveway and got out of her car. Sighing she looked at her small house that she had inherited from her parents and wished they were here to see her reclaim what belonged to her. Hopefully they could see her from the great beyond and approved of what she was doing.

Two years ago her parent were killed by a drunk driver coming home from date night. To them this was going out to dinner and a movie. After all those years they still loved each other and they looked young. Too young to die. A tear drifted down her cheek as she thought of them. If only the could still be there with her.

Opening the door she dropped her purse on the end table after grabbing the wash out. Going to the kitchen cabinet she grabbed a wine glass and opened the fridge for the special tea that had been prepared to cleanse her for the ceremony. She poured herself a glass and went to start preparing for the ceremony. Filling the tub she took a long drink and wrinkled her nose. Well nothing that was supposed to be good for you ever tasted good. If it did everyone would be healthy. Inhaling deeply she finished off the glass before turning off the water and getting in the tub.

Closing her eyes she drifted between sleep and awake in a day dream. She could see a beautiful blonde hair woman smiling at her. Soon she heard the woman say it was time. A loud bang at her door pulled her back to reality. Now who was here interrupting her meditation? Sighing she got up and pulled a towel around herself and slipped her feet in her comfy slippers. As she heard the water draining from the tub she looked back at it longingly. Wiping the mirror she looked at her reflection. Her skin was glowing from the soak and her hair hung damply around her face. Turning away from the mirror she dried herself off and put her robe on and wrapped her hair in a towel. Hopefully the person wouldn’t be offended by her lack of proper attire but she didn’t want the negative energy from her clothes to pollute her cleansed aura.

Whose here? Ivory called out as she opened the bathroom door.

Just me, Ivory. Nolan responded. My water was shut off and I wondered if I could borrow your tub?

Not a problem. I just finished my cleansing ritual. Ivory told him as she entered the front room. There Nolan was sprawled out in her dad’s favorite chair. Well it was his favorite when he was alive.

Thanks. Maybe we can meditate together? Nolan hesitantly put out there.

Did your water get turned off or did you get evicted? Ivory sighed deeply as she scrubbed her hair in the towel briskly as she removed as much of the water she could .

A little of both, I couldn’t pay rent this month or last month or the month before that. Nolan grimaced. He hadn’t worked in the past eight months since Ivory lost her business. All his contracts went down the drain when he testified on her behalf. Talk about vindictive people. Her ex ass had blocked all his contracts and put out the word of not hiring him. He had been unofficially blackballed. He would like nothing more than to find a way to make that ass pay for everything he had done to Ivory alone. He took little Fey from her and blocked her from seeing her for the past eight months.

Of course, I would never turn away one of my prophets. Ivory said with a little smile. She felt too guilty to ever turn Nolan away. If he hadn’t been there for her he wouldn’t be without a job. When the ceremony was done she would let him know that he could crash in her guest room.

Thanks Ivory, Nolan responded as he wandered down the hall to the bathroom. He owed her more than he could ever repay.

Going into the library that she had set up as a meditation room Ivory lit all the candles and incent. Pulling the curtains shut she then turned on the relaxation cd of nature. Then she went back and grabbed two wine glasses and the mixture for purity. Carrying back to the room she placed one next to each chair and settled in. Time flying by them it was already 4:00 pm so they had to finish drinking this by 5:00 pm unless they wanted to be stopping the ceremony to relieve themselves. That wasn’t going to happen.

Nolan walked into the room with a towel draped around his waist and one around his neck that he was using to dry his hair. He was definitely well defined but Ivory had never been attracted to him. He was down on his luck when they met and now that she had lost her business he lost his job. Damn it wasn’t fair that so many people had been affected by her divorce. With Freya at her side she was sure her luck would change for the better.

Nodding his head at her he sat down in the other chair and picked up his glass. Taking a tentative sip of the liquid caused him to shudder at the taste. Ivory stifled a laugh at his comical expression. Later when the silence had been lifted they would talk but for now they would just relax. Turning she set the alarm in case they drifted to sleep for real and not just in their meditated states. Half an hour later Ivory was running to the bathroom with Nolan close behind. Purification had begun.

Time passed quickly for them and now they had to leave and meet up with the rest of the group. Ivory got up and went and put her ceremonial gown on while Nolan used the meditation room to put his on. Grimacing in the mirror she knew going behind a closed door to put on the robe was a moot point. All of her assets could be seen through the gown. Shrugging she pulled the hood over her head and walked out to join Nolan in the front room. Nolan had already extinguished the candles so they only had to leave. Inhaling sharply Ivory opened the door and started walking for the park with Nolan following closely behind. He did this because her knew this was her time to empty her mind and prepare for the ceremony that she was going to perform.

Thunder roared and lightning lit up the darkness across the night sky. Cold winds blew through the trees causing the hairs on the back of Ivory’s neck to stand up and her hood to fall down around her neck. Was it a warning or was the goddess assuring her that they were doing the right thing? Time for action was upon them to act before it became too late. It was now or never if they were going to bring the old world into a new age.

People had forgotten how to live in peace with the land instead of destroying it. Green magic had been overrun by Christianity and those who didn’t turn their backs upon it had been killed as witches and devil worshippers. Gods and goddess had grown weaker with each death of their followers, so they could not help fight the persecution of their people and they had either slipped into oblivion or went to sleep. Today was the beginning of a new era for the old ones to rejuvenate their presence. Today they would begin awakening and strengthen their gods and goddesses.

Lightening cracked behind Ivory making her appear otherworldly and powerful. Strength from the storm vibrated through her like she had never experienced before. Energy crackled all around her and filled her being completely. Her skin glowed golden with all the energy she was being filled with. Her hair appeared to have a life of its own as it lifted off her shoulder and wrapped around her like it was caressing her skin.

Brushing her long thick wavy blonde hair away from her face Ivory began moving from the parking lot and into the woods by the river. Her white robe blew around her long legs that lead up to a shapely body. Nobody would ever call her petite even though she stood only 5’6". Ivory’s curves filled out her body that some would call voluptuously round and others would call plump or pudgy but never undesirable. Many men stared at her when she walked by and she had even had been accused of having a walk that screamed sex. Soft features had an appealing look about them but not a drop dead diva look, more like the innocent look of the girl next door. One could say her features looked enchantingly ethereal that had a calming effect on women but still enthralled men to do her bidding. Stopping her hike she paused to oversee what her coven had created for this important night. They had spent the past two day assembling and creating a perfect ceremonial circle. Now they would use it in attempt to awaken their goddess.

Ivory had placed four golden ceramic bowls on the willow table to represent the elements. One contained earth, another water from the river, a third sage to burn for air and in the fourth a red candle for fire. Around these essential items she had placed their gifts to the Vanir Goddess, flowers, sweets, a white flowing dress trimmed in gold lace, a sword, a staff, an old necklace that was rumored to have belonged to the goddess and a white fur cape. Today would be the day they would call to awaken Freya. All of the planets would be aligned and in place for the maximum power at 8:03 pm and it was 7:48 pm. Time to start the ceremony. Taking a deep breath Ivory slowly let it out.

Within the circle was four white marble pillars with a blue candle surround by springtime flowers. They had left an opening in the east for everyone to enter. Four of her coven would hold a white candle representing the directions in between the pillars. Everything was set and now the time was here to start the ceremony. Sounding the bell, Ivory announced the beginning of the ceremony. Her coven filed into the circle each taking their perspective places as they moved counter clock wise within the circle. As the last member Ivory entered the circle, closed it behind her and moved to the altar.

Music from the forest filled the air and water flowed softly as the harmony. Coyotes howled and owls hooted as the ceremony began. Everyone could feel the magic that nature was releasing all around them. Leaves softly blew in circles causing an ambience that lured the coven into a peaceful harmony. Lightening still lit up the sky, but not a drop of rain fell.

Earth I summon thee to our circle and fill us with your strength.

Water I summon thee to our circle to cleanse and purify our minds, body and souls.

Wind I summon thee to our circle to carry our voices to be heard.

Fire I summon thee to our circle to protect us.

Spirit I summon thee to our circle to strength our souls.

With each element summoned Ivory felt them come to her. She had never experienced this strong of a sensation from the elements during any other ceremony. Closing her eyes she could almost reach out and touch them physically. The red candle burned strong and tall while the smoke from the sage stayed in the circle moving counter clock wise giving a powerful feel to the air within the circle. Looking into the eyes of her coven members she could see their excitement and apprehension at what was going to come. Ivory prayed to the goddess that they would remain strong and true of heart during the summoning. If anyone broke the circle all would be for naught. She doubted that they could ever have a more perfect night for a summoning again.

Moving around the circle in her white gossamer robe with silver blue trim made her look like a wood nymph, instead of being a part of the modern world. Long blonde hair made her appear angelic while her deep blue eyes seemed to see right to your very soul. Her coven was dressed in deep green gossamer cloaks trimmed also in blue. Only the hoods covered their heads for the ceremony while hers hung down her back. No one wore anything under the cloaks so only the darkness covered their bodies in their translucent cloaks.

Four prophets stood at the north, south, east and west corners holding white candles. Taking a deep breath the High Priestess began to chant as she lit the first white candle in the east position moving clockwise until they had all been lit. Gracefully she then moved on to the blue candles following the same direction. Meanwhile the while the circle chanted with her.

Guardians of the East I summon thee

Guardians of the South I summon thee

Guardians of the West I summon thee

Guardians of the North I summon thee

Protect our circle and us within

So mote it be

Now it was time to begin the actual summoning of their goddess. Taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out Ivory let all the power swirling around her to completely fill her entire being. Her nerves tingled in a way that was almost painful as they began the summoning.

I call upon the ancient power

To awaken and be

I call upon the ancient power

To awaken and be

Daughter of NJord

Beautiful twin sister of Freyr

Goddess of Love, Fertility and Sexual Desire

Warrior Goddess and Queen of the Valkyries

We enter our plea

FREYA WE SUMMON THEE

So mote it be

Sounds of the forest ceased, the wind became still and mist slowly started rising from the ground upward. As it slowly rose the mist seemed to take upon a shape of long slender legs then a torso, arms then a head and face began to develop. Unbelievable the mist began to take a solid shape of a sky clad woman. Her misty hair swirled around her body to her knees and it began to look like spun gold. A large white cougar came out of the forest and slowly approached the woman and lay at her feet. Her lips began to form and became the color of a red rose petal; her eyes took shape and darkened to a silver blue fringed with thick black lashes. Before long she had become a solid being that was breathtaking beautiful.

Her body solidified causing the group to drop to their knees and bowed their heads in reverence. Ivory approached the goddess slowly with her head bowed in respect. Goddess Freya we offer you these gifts to welcome you into the new world. It is with great honor we bind ourselves to your service. Ivory’s arms swept in the direction of the altar as she went down on her knees in reverence of her goddess that had awaken.

Arise my High Priestess; you never have to kneel at my feet. You and yours have awakened me from my great slumber in Folfvang. What year is this that I have risen in? Freya smiled as she placed her hand under Ivory’s elbow and pulled her upward.

It is the year 2016 my lady Ivory replied in awe of her goddess.

I have been asleep for many centuries and much has changed. Arise my prophets, let me look upon my people Freya exclaimed as she moved her hands upward helping them lift to their feet.

Crying out at her feet the cougar claimed her attention. Smiling she reached down and stroke her thick fur. I have missed you too Kottr. I am glad you have made it to my awakening. Life without you would be no life without you by my side. The goddess said with a fondness to her beloved cat.

Turning to her people she asked the question burning in her mind. The last time she had been on this earth people began to forget her and quit worshipping her. Without their adoration she had faded away to slumber in her home. Why have you awakened me from my slumber my children?

Ivory stepped a foot closer to the deity that had chosen to rise for them. This new modern world has forgotten the old ways. They pollute our mother earth and have burned holes in father sky. Men are sent off to the Christians holy land to battle for oil and power while people here at home are kicked out of their homes, children shooting children and jobs to earn a living have become harder to obtain. Love of people with difference are persecuted verbally and physically. They need something to believe in to rise above this path of destruction. Ivory spoke with emotion of grief laced in her voice.

I understand your concern but we can only affect those who wish for the change. I will not take away free will of anyone, even if it might be best for the majority. It is up to my people to change their lives. I will only give blessings to those who embrace me and ask me. I cannot grant peace on earth, food and shelter for the poor or anything else that you seem to want. Freya said solemnly.

Your presence and blessings is all we are asking for, my lady. Ivory said with a smile. Just having the presence of this goddess will change the lives of many. People needed not only to believe but to see. Christianity was all about faith and believing even in the face of doubt. Freya will be an active goddess here on earth when they need her the most. This is what will cause many to come to her for her blessings.

Wonderful. We understand each other. Now let’s feast. Freya exclaimed with her hands lifting in a sweeping motion.

Shame of what little they had to offer their newly risen goddess filled her. Lowering her head in regret Ivory couldn’t help but wonder if maybe they should have waited until they could offer her more than just asking for gifts from her. Straightening her shoulders and stiffening her back Ivory waited for the disapproval to come from her goddess when she found out how little they could do for her.

Forgive our lack of food my lady. We have all been hurt by the times. We do have gifts for you though. Picking up the gown Ivory helped Freya don it. Then she placed the fur cape over her shoulders and picked up the necklace to place around her goddess neck.

How in the name of Odin did you find my necklace? Freya squealed with joy. This had been lost for a century before she had fallen into her slumber. Losing it had pained her and soon after that Od had went missing. She knew in her heart the day of his death and it was like a knife had ripped through her. Oh how she had missed her beloved husband that last century.

One of your prophets found it for you in a pawn shop. He felt drawn to it and knew it was yours. Ivory explained as she pointed out which prophet had found it.

Slowly a smile curved at Freya’s lips as she signaled for her prophet to come forward. He was well over six feet, jet black hair with exquisite green eyes that reminded her of emeralds. His physique and sex appeal made Freya ache for his dick inside of her, which she could clearly see under his cloak. Under her scrutiny she could see it begin to stand at attention. She would be sated in all ways before she rested on this night.

You have won the favor of your goddess and shall remain with me through the night. Perhaps longer if you continue to please me. She smiled seductively at her new favored prophet. Her hand reached out to touch his cheek and trailed down his chest just stopping before her fingertips reached his manhood. Just thinking about the pleasure her tongue brushed sensually over her lips, drawing his eyes there.

Your wish is mine to fulfill in all ways my lady. He said as he imagined how it would feel to taste this goddess and make her squirm in his arms. Quickly he shut this down; it must be ill suited to think of his goddess in such a way. Though her beauty and shapely body called for a man’s devoted attention. It would be his honor to pleasure his goddess in all ways that she craved and in some she hadn’t thought of.

Where is our castle to retire to? Freya requested as she pulled herself out of her fantasy playing in her mind. This prophet of hers did nothing to quiet his mind; he was an open book and one she planned on reading cover to cover a few times.

I don’t have a castle but my home is yours. If you would follow us I live only a short distance away. Ivory humbly stated lowering her eyes. Her home was definitely not up to goddess standards but it was all she owned at this time. She should have thought this through. Before the night is over she will look like a poor serf looking for handouts.

Biting her lip thoughtfully Freya contemplated if she could transport her coven to the High Priestess home instead of walking. Flexing her powers she felt extremely powerful. Yes she could do that and much more. Something had charged her in a way that she hadn’t felt the last two centuries she had been awake. Smiling she turned to Ivory, Just picture your home in your mind and we will be there. She could see the home now and in a second everyone was outside. This little home was too small for her High Priestess. It needed work and many rooms for her followers to be near. This would be her first of many boons she would grant her. Without a strong leader she would not continue to flourish in this new world.

Ivory I want you to think about a large home with 20 bedrooms, a sitting room, a throne room, a dining room and so on. We need more room here if we are going to begin rebuilding your world. Freya proclaimed in a magical tone that caused her imagination to ignite with plans of what she desired her home to look like.

An image of a huge mansion with a bathroom for each room and all the trimming came forth in her mind. She had always envisioned having her coven stay with her if they wished to. Every detail had been already dreamed of before and when she opened her eyes she saw the home she had dreamed of for years. When she opened the doors she found all the furniture was exactly the same as she had always wanted. It was surreal to see it and be inside her new home. Amazed and delighted she turned to her goddess and professedly thanked her for the gift.

Freya was amazed that she didn’t feel drained from using her powers so soon after she had awakened. Instead the more she used them the stronger she began to feel. Reaching out with her mind she found hundreds of thousands who believed and still worshipped her. Through them she was increasing her strength each minute she was awake. Turning she looked at Ivory and saw her amazement of her new home. It pleased her that she has made her High Priestess happy. Come and eat my children. I have set up a large buffet of food for you to eat and rejoice in.

They followed her into the great hall to a large table that was covered with all sorts of delicacy to eat. The table could easily seat forty and at one end a golden throne was placed for her and two smaller thrones on each side of the table for her High Priestess and her favored follower who would soon be her concubine. He would be the Highlight of her evening. Many years have passed since she had been allowed the luxury of sexual pleasure and her lack of physical pleasure would end tonight. Looking at her concubine in his robes left nothing to be concealed in this light. His heavy thick shaft hung against his leg still partially aroused and ready to rise fully for her delight.

As they ate the bounty of food her prophets told her stories of what had happened over the years since she walked among them. Stories delighted her and some made her want to cry. More stories please. I have missed so much and I have much to learn. Encouraged Freya.

We had a president that was taken to court over having sexual escapades with an intern. Carrie piped up.

He must be one of my followers. Everyone here is well aware of my sexual prowess. Freya chimed up.

We now have television that people act out stories to entertain people. Isaac put in trying to get Freya’s attention.

Now that sounds fascinating. I would love to see one of these stories. Freya responded to her eager prophet. Smiling endearingly at him she could see him puff up like a male peacock trying to get a female to mate with. This made her feel proud but at the
