Love Potion Magickal Perfumerie

The Icelandic term for flirting, “to have the cats of Freya in the eyes,” is still in use today. A Goddess of fertility, love, prosperity, war and magic, Freya was seen as somewhat promiscuous, a proponent of physical passion both within and outside of marriage; Freya aids people in finding partners. She opitimizes warmth, friendliness, allure, sensuality and optimism; and spells to her are always water-based.

With this potion we are petitioning her favors, so our ode includes all of the elements sacred to her - water, earth, woods, plants, and smoke, as well as kisses for Freya's cats - catnip and civit accord. Plus some metal for her mettle - because Freya is as comfortable cuddling a kitten as she is wielding a spear.
