Folk Variations
Changes to Freo's guidelines can be made to coincide with those who follow similar goddesses.
Freya (Norse): very similar, their abilities can be exchanged, though Freo is portrayed here as less martial and having many qualities of Frigg.
Frijjō (Germanic): more primitive, her magic can be a mix of Freo's with the Germanic Magical Side-Effects detailed in Volume II.
Lada (Slavic): a love goddess too, incorporating spring and summer, emphasizing more young love.
Mokosh (Slavic): a mother goddess, she includes more family and home aspects, corresponding with Frigg.
Venus (Roman): being a goddess of beauty who focuses on appropriate love, she can match with Freo well.
