Freyja Riding Her Cats Print – Ludwig Pietsch, 19th c. Norse Goddess Art, Viking Mythology Poster, Scandinavian Pagan Wall Decor #333

This Freyja Riding Her Cats Print is a faithful reproduction of one of the most charming 19th-century depictions of the Norse goddess Freyja, illustrated by Ludwig Pietsch (1824–1911). This captivating artwork shows Freyja in motion, standing proudly on her chariot drawn by two large cats — her mythical companions. With her flowing hair and graceful posture, Freyja embodies the divine feminine power of love, beauty, and magic, while the racing cats evoke her connection to independence, mystery, and the otherworldly.

This lively illustration captures the essence of Freyja as a goddess of both domesticity and wild freedom. Her cat-drawn chariot is one of her most iconic symbols in Norse mythology, signifying her role as a bringer of fertility, passion, and abundance — as well as her association with seiðr, the powerful magic of fate and transformation.

This print offers a beautiful way to honor her energy in your home, study, or altar space.
