Editing Freyr (section)

==Other Icelandic sources==
Worship of Freyr is alluded to in several [[Icelanders' sagas]].

The protagonist of ''[[Hrafnkels saga]]'' is a [[goði|priest]] of Freyr. He [[Horses in Germanic paganism#Dedication to gods|dedicates a horse to the god]] and kills a man for riding it, setting in motion a chain of fateful events.

In ''[[Gísla saga]]'' a chieftain named ''[[Þorgrímr Freysgoði]]'' is an ardent worshipper of Freyr. When he dies he is buried in a [[Tumulus|howe]].

''Varð og sá hlutur einn er nýnæmum þótti gegna að aldrei festi snæ utan og sunnan á haugi Þorgríms og eigi fraus; og gátu menn þess til að hann myndi Frey svo ávarður fyrir blótin að hann myndi eigi vilja að freri á milli þeirra.''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.snerpa.is/net/isl/gisl.htm|title=Gísla saga Súrssonar|website=www.snerpa.is|access-date=22 May 2020}}</ref>

And now, too, a thing happened which seemed strange and new. No snow lodged on the south side of Thorgrim's howe, nor did it freeze there. And men guessed it was because Thorgrim had been so dear to Frey for his worship's sake that the god would not suffer the frost to come between them. -<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://northvegr.org/lore/gisli/015.php |title=The Story of Gisli The Outlaw|website=Northvegr|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080605035403/http://www.northvegr.org/lore/gisli/015.php |archive-date=5 June 2008 |url-status=deviated}}</ref>

''[[Hallfreðar saga]]'', ''[[Víga-Glúms saga]]'' and ''[[Vatnsdœla saga]]'' also mention Freyr.

Other Icelandic sources referring to Freyr include ''[[Íslendingabók]]'', {{Lang|is|[[Landnámabók]]}}, and ''[[Hervarar saga]]''.

''[[Íslendingabók]]'', written {{circa}} 1125, is the oldest Icelandic source that mentions Freyr, including him in a genealogy of Swedish kings. {{Lang|is|[[Landnámabók]]}} includes a heathen oath to be sworn at an assembly where Freyr, Njörðr, and "[[almáttki áss|the almighty ''áss'']]" are invoked. ''[[Hervarar saga]]'' mentions a [[Yule]]tide sacrifice of a boar to Freyr.
