Geocache Description:


My cache-boys and I love all mythology, and we also noticed that one of our favorite trails didn't have any caches and sought to remedy that. I sat and watched a beautiful falcon (or maybe a hawk) flying around while I was placing this, thus this story.  A standard TOTT might be helpful, but not necessary. CONGRATS to Fork L Man for FTF!

Freya was the Norse goddess of beauty. She came to Asgard in a carriage drawn by gray cats with her little daughter Noss in her lap. Freya was often sad because her husband, Od, had disappeared. Od was a wanderer and a dreamer and had been lost in one world or the other. Freya would cry for him with tears of liquid gold. Freya often went looking for him as a falcon, for she had a suit of falcon feathers which carried her swiftly through the air whenever she put it on. Once, Freya loaned her precious falcon feathers to quick-witted Loki (although, since he was a shape-shifter, not sure why he needed them) so that Loki could go in search of the hammer of Thor, god of thunder, that had been stolen. Loki found the hammer, stolen by the jotun Thrym. Thyrm demanded Freya as his bride in exchange for the hammer, but she refused, so Thor dressed himself as a bride, veil and dress and all, and went to steal back his hammer.
