One of my paintings of the Heathen gods and goddesses.

This is Gerd the giantess goddess and wife / mistress of Frey.

Gerd's name means enclosure, hence the symbolism showing hunting and gathering above and agriculture below.

This suggestion of transistion ties in with the myth of Frey's wooing of Gerd which was troublesome and culminated in a field of barley.

I think this one is the best so far out of the rest of the paintings of gods/godesses
