 Lay of Hyndla - Slider
In the Lay of Hyndla, the goddess Freya meets the völva Hyndla and they ride together towards Valhalla.
Freya rides on her boar Hildisvini and Hyndla on a wolf.
The mission is to find out the pedigree of Ottar so that he can touch his inheritance, and the lay consists mostly of Hyndla reciting a number of names from Ottar's ancestry.

 Eburacum PBEM - Freyjas Daughters.
Their origins are in the saxon worship of the wife of Wotan (Woden=Odin), whom it is said takes half of the warriors that fall in battle to her own 'hall of the dead' (Sessrumnr) in the afterlife.
They have adopted the crest of the boar, after Hildisvini the Battle-Swine that Freyja rides into battle.
It is a symbol that grants them protection against death in combat, worn proudly over their chest and emblazoned upon the small bucklers that they strap to one arm.

 Hyndluljoth
Various experiments have been made in condensing the stanza into four lines, or in combining it with stanza 8.
Hildisvini ("Battle-Swine"): perhaps Freyja refers to the boar with golden bristles given, according to Snorri, to her brother Freyr by the dwarfs.
The first line is obviously corrupt in the manuscript, and has been variously emended.

 Wain 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Freyja also has a named boar: Hildisvini or 'battle-boar' which has golden bristles like her brother's boar.
In Hyndluljóð she is described as disguising her devotee Ottar as her boar and then riding him to the giantess Hyndla to get Ottar the genealogical lore he needs.
The boar is known to have adorned military helmets in the Dark Ages and it is appropriate that Freyja, in her role as collector of the dead (She has the first choice of the fallen warriors) has a boar.

 Freyja, Beloved of Warriors
The other two animals are direct symbols of sexuality and strength.
Her golden-bristled boar is called Battle Swine (Hildisvini), and recalls her role as the receiver of heroic dead.
Battle helmets topped with iron and bronze images of boars have been found throughout England and Scandinavia, for the boar's savage and cunning nature was widely revered.

 Hlidskjalf: Freyja   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
When traveling Freyja often changed her name, using names like Mardoll, Horn, Gefin and Syr.
Those names suggest that she was the guardian of homes, and the name Syr has to with the fact that she sometimes rode the boar Hildisvini (Battle-Swine).
Freyja has also (like Frigg), a gyrfalcon coat, which she uses when she needs to fly.

Anyway, the connection hinged around the fact that Freya sometimes is depicted riding a wild boar.
Actually, the boar's named is Hildisvini, and I've read that the boar is either a transformed version of her secret paramour, Ottar the Simple, or of her brother, Frey.
Frey himself also had a pet boar that he rode around on named Gullinbursti.

 Freya (Asgardian goddess)
To pay for their services, she gave herself to their father, Iwaldi, many times and had several daughters, among them Nanna, wife of Balder, Idunn, wife of Bragi, and Sigyn, wife of Loki.
The dwarves also reputedly created for her Hildisvini, a great boar of solid gold whom she rode to show her way through the dark, who was very much like Gullinbursti, her brother’s mount.
Loki, meanwhile, heard about her indiscretions and told Odin who requested that he bring to him Freya and her Brisingamen.
