Letters to Freya
A Sacred Offering for Those We Hold in Spirit
If you've ever lost someone—a beloved person or cherished pet—you know that grief doesn’t have a simple end. But neither does love. Love endures, quietly holding us in moments of stillness.
Letters to Freya is a gentle, heart-centered offering for children and women who wish to send a message to someone they’ve lost. On the night of each full moon, your message will be spoken aloud in a sacred ceremony. Freya, a wise and gentle mare, will listen with her heart and carry your words across the veil—a sacred boundary between this world and the spirit realm.
As a compassionate and sensitive horse, Freya is the perfect messenger to carry your thoughts, wishes, and love to those who have passed. Her deep kindness and gentle presence ensure that your words are delivered with tenderness and care.
In the quiet glow of the full moon, Freya moves between the physical world and the spirit realm, where the veils are thinnest. She brings your messages—whether of love, gratitude, connection, or healing—to those who await them on the other side. These messages are not just words, but energetic expressions of love, felt deeply by those you hold dear.
This ritual is more than writing a message; it’s an opportunity to express your ongoing love and connection. Freya’s quiet wisdom ensures that your words are received with honor and peace, carrying your love across the veil.
Freya’s kind heart offers a sacred bridge—reminding us that love never truly disappears. It simply transforms, carried by her steady hooves under the moonlit sky. Through her, you can send a message to someone you miss, love, or still carry in your heart.
This isn’t just a letter-writing ritual—it’s a sacred doorway. A practice of remembrance, a way to connect with the beyond, and a reminder that love is eternal, changing form, but never gone.
This Ritual Is For You If...
This offering is for children who are grieving—a grandparent, a parent, a beloved pet or friend—and need a tender way to stay connected. It’s for women who carry quiet, unspoken grief, longing for a space to remember, to speak, or simply to feel. And it’s for anyone seeking a gentle, heart-led ritual—a way to honor those they love who now live beyond the veil, and to let love continue its quiet, sacred conversation across worlds.
You may feel called to join this ritual if...
You or your child are grieving and looking for a loving way to remember someone
You wish to keep a spiritual connection with someone who has passed
You believe in the quiet magic of the forest, of animals, and of love that never ends
You’re seeking a gentle, grounded ritual to help anchor healing, memory, and meaning
Who is Freya
A Wind Horse Between Worlds
Freya is not just a horse—she is a story of survival, sensitivity, and soul.
Two years ago, I said goodbye to Luna—my beloved gray Percheron, a rescued draft horse with a luminous spirit. Luna was powerful and tender, wise and wild-hearted. Her loss opened a deep ache in me… and a deeper knowing, too. In the quiet that followed her passing, I began to feel how love doesn't leave—it changes form. It waits. It guides.
Not long after, Freya found her way to me—and I to her.
A black Percheron mare, Freya arrived cautious and closed, carrying the weariness of a life that had asked too much of her. Her body told stories of labor; her spirit had gone quiet. But beneath the silence, there was something unmistakable: a softness, a sensitivity, a flicker of soul that had not gone out.
Over time—through presence, trust, and care—Freya began to return to herself. Bit by bit, she stepped out of the shadows and rose into something luminous. Today, she is grounded, curious, and full of quiet strength. She has become a steady presence and a deep companion—watchful, wise, and whole.
In many ancient traditions, horses are known as wind horses—sacred beings who can carry prayers, messages, and blessings between the human world and the spirit realm. Freya is that kind of horse. She walks between worlds with grace and sensitivity, listening with her whole heart.
She now carries the work that Luna set in motion.
Freya steps into the moonlight each month with strength in her body and gentleness in her gaze. She carries your messages across the veil—not just as words, but as offerings of love. In this ritual, she becomes the bridge between hearts, a living reminder that connection never dies—it only transforms.
Freya
In loving memory of Luna — the first wind horse, always near.
How Letters to Freya Works
Send a Message Across the Veil
Children and women are gently invited to write a letter to someone they love—someone who has left this world, but not their heart. This may be a beloved grandparent, a dear friend, a cherished animal companion, or any soul whose presence is still felt in quiet moments.
Your letter can hold whatever wants to be spoken:
a memory you treasure, a message you didn’t get to say, a question, a thank you—or simply words from the softest part of your heart.You’re also welcome to include drawings, symbols, or small tokens of love—anything that helps express what words alone cannot.
Freya Carries Your Message
On the night of the full moon, your letter will be softly read in a quiet ceremony with Freya. In the gentle glow of moonlight, Freya will listen to your words with the utmost tenderness.
With her steady presence and graceful spirit, she will carry your message across the veil, allowing it to reach the heart where it is meant to go, held by the magic of the forest and the whispers of the wind.
And you only need to look up into the sky on the night of the full moon to know: Freya has received your message, and it is already on its way.
Write from the Heart
There’s no right way to write—your heart knows what needs to be said.
You can start with:
“Dear Freya, I have a message for someone I love…”
or
“Dear [Name], I miss you…”love…”Or simply:
“Dear [Name of Loved One], please receive this through Freya's heart.”
Our Memory Altar
As part of Letters to Freya, we tend a quiet, sacred space online called the Memory Altar—a digital Wall of Names created to honor the loved ones carried in your letters.
When you send your message, their name will be gently placed on the altar alongside others, forming a tapestry of remembrance—a shared circle of love that grows with each moon.
This is a space of tenderness and belonging.
A way to say: You are remembered. You are cherished. Your spirit lives on in the hearts of those who love you.Each name is held with care, surrounded by the energy of the forest, the presence of Freya, and the quiet blessing of the full moon.

Freya’s Oracle Card
Everyone who sends a message to Freya will receive a heartfelt oracle card—a quiet blessing to place on your altar, tuck into the pages of your journal, or keep close to your heart.
This sacred gift is more than a card. It is a message from Freya herself—an intuitive response drawn from the spirit of the forest and the quiet wisdom of the full moon. It arrives as a gentle reminder that your words are heard, your love is felt, and your connection is never lost.
