Thanks for the offer to put me in touch with your friend. I just sent you an email.
I haven't gone very far in my research or meditations yet, but I'm not surprised that you and Freyja didn't connect. As far as I can tell, she's a lover of warriors, not a warrior herself -- and my impression of you is that your focus is being a warrior and connecting with goddesses who are warriors.
I'd love to read more about the details of your spiritual path and how you and your Northman blend/share your practices.
I get the impression from the little research I've done that She definitely fits as a War Goddess...and as a Goddess of a Seer craft, there is a strong similarity between the One I do serve and Herself. But it's occurred to me that as She and The Gray Man get divvies on dead warriors, that They might not share when the warriors are still alive. Even if said warrior is not too convinced about the whole after life thing in that regard. But it's just a theory. Uh, one that I just thought of a few hours ago. ~;)
The simple answer to how we do this is that we are very much following our Highland ancestors...we are Gaels, we just happen to also include two two Norse Gods. With a few other Norse elements. But mostly we're culturally Gaelic. Uh..speaking a modern Germanic language for the most part and constantly trying to learn a modern Gaelic. ~:/ I do hope to write some about this. Again, I've been milling stuff through my head since my drive home from work but have been too tired to really write much more than this sort of thing.

I like this hypothesis. :-)
