Odin as the primordial state of consciousness applies to women as well, as Odin is said to have given soul to both. This innate awareness is formless and is beyond any associations with body or sexual identity. Therefore, one does not have to look at primal awareness as something based on these limiting and mundane concepts. This doesn’t mean that Freyja is not involved in the equation, as Freyja is the energy and flux of the natural/material universe, identical to great Kali/Shakti/Tara Ma. Freyja represents matter, while Odin represents consciousness. Without Odin, there would be no Freyja, and without Freyja, Odin would have nothing to manifest into. These are the two pieces of the puzzle that create what we know of our existence and reality; the Father (consciousness) and the Mother (material world). Each sentient being and all physical matter encapsulates these qualities. They are inseparable. Through training and practice, one can destroy the surface duality represented in these two halves, reuniting them into one single point of experience. Either deity can be venerated as supreme, as they both express one final outcome of creation.

Hail the Mother, Hail the Father!
