Beyla - Farm Servant to Norse God Freyr
Beyla is a servant to Freyr, Norse god of virility. She looks after his realm with her husband Byggvir. Because of her association with Freyr’s farm, Beyla personifies agriculture and the seeds from which crops grow. Her name may be tied to cows, beans or bees.
