Freyja vs Xi Wangmu

Most renowned of the Vanir, goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, but also associated with war and death. She receives half of those who die in battle in her hall Folkvangr.

Freyja is the daughter of the sea god Njord and an unnamed mother, possibly the earth goddess Nerthus or a sister of Njord from the Vanir. She came to Asgard as a hostage after the Aesir-Vanir War, along with her father and twin brother Freyr. In exchange, the Aesir sent Hoenir and Mimir to the Vanir. The Vanir, feeling cheated, beheaded Mimir, but the exchange brought lasting peace. Freyja taught the Aesir the magic of seidr, a form of shamanic sorcery previously unknown to them. She became so beloved among the gods that she was granted her own hall, Sessrumnir, in the field of Folkvangr.

Freyja is the goddess of love, beauty, gold, and magic (*seidr*). She drives a chariot pulled by giant cats and wears the necklace Brisingamen.

The supreme goddess of immortality who rules from her paradise on Mount Kunlun. She grows the Peaches of Immortality that ripen once every 3,000 years and hosts the legendary banquet of the gods.

Xi Wangmu is a primordial goddess who has existed since the beginning of time. She established her paradise on Mount Kunlun in the far west and planted the orchards of immortal peaches that grant eternal life to the gods.

Xi Wangmu (Queen Mother of the West) is one of the oldest and most important goddesses in Chinese religion, predating even Taoism. She rules over the western paradise on Mount Kunlun and controls access to immortality through her sacred peaches.
