	Gangleri - articles » Freya or Brisingamen
		Freya as Goddess of the year, not such a strange idea, because she is connected to fertility and therefor the cycle of the crops, death and rebirth, the changing seasons and thus the year.
		The Brisingamen was fabricated by dwarves, known as the Brisingen.
		Maybe the Brisingamen is Freya, is fertility, is the course of the year and this is why Freya, like the German Christmas bread, is almost entirely surrounded by it (it ends by her neck to give the idea of a necklase).

		As the other reviewers here have noted, it is rather dated, there is a lot about the Vietnam war, including some social commentary on it, but that doesn't interfere with the story, rather gives background to some of the charachters and why they have developed in the way which they have.
		It begins as Karen, a shy grad student on the faculty at Berkley has discovered the legendary neclace of Freya, Brisingamen.
		Not knowing it's power, she wears it and soon the power of Freya, and those enemies and allies of Freya begin to work in her life.

		Odin agreed to return the Brisingamen to Freyja, only on the condition that she starts war in the world of men, between two kings.

	achukareviews: The Weirdstone of Brisingamen
		The sense of adventure, excitement and danger that surrounds protagonists Colin and Susan and the potency both of the language and narrative that power the story remain as invigorating today as presumably they were in 1960 when the novel was first published.
		As with Alan Garner’s preceding writing, “The Weirdstone of Brisingamen” is suffused in what was to become Garner’s trademark interest in legend and mythic traditions.

		Freyja was pleased at the sight of her favourite ornament, and smiled even in the midst of her tears; but as for the moon, instead of Brisingamen, the deep sky and the stars were around her.
		"Brisingamen is dragging me down," she cried in her sleep, and laid her little hand upon the clasp without knowing what she was doing.
		"Brisingamen is fair," she said, as she bade farewell to her image in the lake.

		Svipdag is killed in the water, probably in the vicinity of the Vágasker and the Singasteinn, where the Brisingamen ornament of his faithful Mardöll is discovered by Loki and Heimdal.
		The unnamed woman, who after the murder had taken place puts herself in Hadding's way, informs him whom he has slain, and calls the wrath of the gods and the elements down upon him, must be Freyja herself, since she witnessed the deed and knew who was concealed in the guise of the dragon.
		So long as the latter lived Brisingamen surely had a faithful watcher, for it is the nature of a dragon to brood over the treasures he finds.

	Brisingamen
		Brisingamen is said to be the (principally amber) necklace of the goddess Freya from Norse Mythology.
		When she wore it no man or god could withstand her charms, which was obviously a matter of great concern to the other goddesses during springtime when she reputedly wore it.
		The necklace is referenced in the Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf, as Brosingamen, wherein the jewel is brought back to the shining citadel (probably Valhalla which is made of shining armour) by Hama (Heimdall).

	The Necklace of Brisingamen
		The high priest could see the necklace of Brisingamen glowing bright blue around her neck; as she released her last spells, it glowed brighter and brighter until, in a blinding flash, she was gone, taking the form of a hawk as her last warriors were slain.
		She gave him the necklace of Brisingamen and told him to hide it well and guard it with his soul, for this was the item that Loki desired and with its power his might would become terrible.
		If Loki were to possess the gem he could rule the universe and all would be chaos; if it could be retrieved and returned to Freya, he would surely be defeated and peace again would reign.

		Freya is depicted as a beautiful strawberry blonde with blue eyes, she wears a mantle of feathers and her necklace called Brisingamen.
		Blinded by the beauty of the necklace, Freya forgot about her husband, her daughter and even her position as one of the Aesir, and gave into the request of the dwarfs.
		She was so ashamed about sleeping with the Brisingen that she hid the gorgeous necklace Brisingamen and only wore it in the privacy of her own chambers.

	Viktor Rydberg — Teutonic Mythology — Volume III, Part V, Chapters 106—116
		Mardöll thus means “the one diffusing a glimmering in the sea.” The fact that Brisingamen, together with its possessor, actually was for a time in Ægir’s realm is proved by its epithet fagrt hafnýra, “the fair kidney of the sea,” which occurs in a strophe of Ulf Uggeson (Younger Edda, 268).
		Svipdag is killed in the water, probably in the vicinity of the Vágasker and the Singasteinn, where the Brisingamen ornament of his faithful Mardol is discovered by Loke and Heimdal.
		Heimdal’s and Loke’s conflict in regard to Brisingamen has undoubtedly been an episode in the mythic account of Svipdag’s last fortunes and Freyja’s abode with him in the sea.

		In the bottle, Brisingamen is a very smooth blend, with the amber as a base and glimpses of apple blossom and carnation.
		It's possible that the smell was tempered by the apple blossom and carnation working in the background The myrtle was the prominent note for me, followed by the amber.
		Brisingamen really evokes a sort of autumn aura with me, although I wouldn't limit myself to wearing it solely in the months of autumn (which hardly hit Florida anyway).

		To my surprise, I found that Garner lived in not one but two houses, the second of which had been moved onto his property and was being lovingly restored.
		RT: When I first read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen and its sequel, The Moon of Gomrath, I was struck, not so much by the extent to which you use the Arthurian legend, as the extent to which you don't use it.
		This is the rock on which, in The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, the children are caught by the evil creatures known as svarts.
