"The mythologist Mallet describes Freya as one of the most propitious of the goddesses, meaning “kindly, gracious or fortunate.” The root of that word, “propitious” is “pet” which means “to spread out, to open up, to increase the dimension or scope of,” so I like to think from this that Freya facilitates expansion and passage through, conveyance and moving into new spaciousness."
So what is the truth about the Brisingamen necklace? You don't know the true story. And neither do I.
Take a look at the Ásatrú Edda from the Norroena society. Someone in the comments on this website brought it up.
"Thank you for addressing this. It has long niggled at me, and I felt something wasn’t right an the whole thing, from start to finish, really. This story paints Freya in a pretty bad light, which seems out of the ordinary for one so highly revered by pagans.
I have no idea what it could really mean, but I often wonder if some of the lore is not a cosmology story. But since we don’t have reliable sources, maybe we need to rely on our own intuitions, and if the gods see fit to bless us with clarity, then maybe we can find the answers we seek."
If you have a feeling that the story about Freya and the dwarves is bullshit, it's not because you're denying it or in denial or you don't like it. It's your intuition kicking in. It's because you can smell bullshit. Especially if you're a highly spiritual person that works in magic all of the time, meditates every day, you're doing rituals, you're invoking or evoking Gods and Goddesses regularly, or Earth Spirits or what have you, yeah it's your heightened intuition, your magical senses. You can smell bullshit and it stinks.
Now, feast your eyes on this. The entire Brisingamen Necklace story, was only invented around 14th century it would seem. And so, later added onto the ORIGINAL ahem "Norse" I mean Aryan Vedic myths of around 10 000 years ago, where no such story exists. Huh. Hmm.
"The story of Freya’s necklace comes from a 14th century adaptation of a necklace myth, apparently celebrated much earlier in song among the Teutonic tribes of both England and Scandinavia. There is an early reference to the necklace, Brisingamen, in the poem, Beowulf, where as part of a hoard, it was brought to Asgard (the home of the gods) as the “best ornament under heaven.” It seems that Norsemen (Onians) took their fate upon them in the shape of material bond, such as a girdle or bracelet. To them it was the assuming of an obligation, a binding or a promise of their fulfillment to fate. You could say it was the material manifestation of a new awareness or a new state, and what was put upon or about the head was specifically thought to affect the life soul. The word “brisings” actually means “fire,” so we have reference in the Brising Necklace to the acceptance of or putting on of spiritual burning and fulfillment to fate."

Here's another quote about that.
"She also owned a necklace named Brísingamen, connected to a story involving the mischievous god Loki. The necklace seems to have been attributed to Freya in the 13th and 14th centuries by late Old Norse sources. The name is said to translate to “necklace of the Brisings,” however its meaning is unclear. The Norwegian word brisa means shrine and some believe the necklace’s name relates to that. Others think it may be related to the words Brosinga mene from the Beowulf poem."
Then there are all sorts of different accounts on how Freya got it. One says Heimdall is the one that brought it to her in the first place. But yet the stories with Loki involved are unclear and vague, fragmentary and "lost to time" in other words, christians are filling in the gaps left in those stories. Like they do with a lot of stories.
"Another myth also involves Loki as well as Freya’s necklace Brisingamen. A lot of the literary sources do not mention the story in detail and only simply refer to Loki as the thief of Brisingamen. Those that mention Loki’s involvement only remain in a fragmentary state and so the comprehensive story has been lost to time.
In other sources, Heimdall and Loki fight for the necklace in the guise of seals! There are also sources which describe Heimdall as the bringer of the necklace. Another tale involving the necklace states that Freya slept with four dwarves in order to get the necklace back."
But the fact is, the story was invented in the 14th Century, by christians. It's just an add on. It's just a fake story, attributed to Freya, by christians. Factually it was another old necklace story, from Teutonic tribes, that they stole from there and threw it upon Freya and attributed it to Freya, and so, they spun many more tales and details surrounding that necklace. And so, every single other story in "Norse" mythology, or Swedish or Danish or any of them involving Freyas necklace, are all fake They never happened. Freya never screamed so loudly in anger that her necklace snapped off from her neck. Loki never stole it from her and had to fight Heimdall, as seals. Nope. All fake.
So no. She doesn't have a Brisingamen necklace. All of the tales you've celebrated, bragging about her necklace that gives her power or whatever, is all fake. It's as fake as god sending Satan down to Hell from Heaven. No, Satan and Lucifer were never in the bibles Heaven, to begin with.
It seems the Gods saw fit to bless me with clarity, and find the answers I seek. I didn't just stumble upon this. I searched for hours, many days in a row, when I decided I don't buy the bullshit stories of how Freya received her necklace. Which there are like 5 versions or more. Some even depicting Odin Freya and such as Kings and people living on Earth in Midgard. So that's nonsense. Midgard is the physical plane, Asgard is not here.
And thank you E.A Koetting for reading the Gospel of Loki, which motivated me to seek answers.
And so the truth is, Freya never went to get some Brisingamen necklace. People try to justify the story as Freya "not being bound by limitations because she's the GODDESS OF SEX AND LUST AND BEAUTY soooo she can do what she wants. Cuz she independent big strung wuman yes.
Yeah, neo-pagan nonsense mixed in with christianization.
'Question everything' means EVERY-thing. Every-thing.
Freyas husband Odr and why he was really gone. Why she really cried.
"Óðr as a character in Old Norse mythology is rarely mentioned. There is one section that describes his personality and deeds which is found in the Eddas. This passage states he is often away on journeys and that because of this Freya cries tears of gold."
You have to understand, proud Norseman who might be reading this, if you're not a neutered, castrated, christianized Norseman and hold onto your Heathen roots, you must understand the Norse myths and tales that you so proudly sing about and HAIL to, yeah, most of those are bullshit invented by christians. Dood. A shame but that is the case. The real "Norse myths" come from Aryan Vedicism. Aryan Wotan AKA Odin Woden Wodanaz. Odinn.
But the truth is, Freya doesn't have a Brisingamen necklace, and the story about her necklace, is just as fake as the story about oh I dunno, Freya having two daughters. She either has one or has none depending on what source you find or believe that claims to be correct. You decide. It's the "Heathen thing to do"
