Shrine of Fraujaz

Fraujaz was the Germanic god of fertility, leadership, virility and prosperity. One of the Wenijiz family of earth gods descended from giants, 'the Lord' was worshipped both as a god of peace and a warrior. As a handsome, manly figure he was called upon to make marriages fertile. Fraujaz rode in a chariot pulled by a boar, owned the fastest ship ever built and had a magical sword. Unfortunately, he was also a doomed figure, and destined to be struck down in the final battle of the gods. He was closely aligned to Freyr in later Norse mythology and to his female counterpart, Freya.
