Group Overview: The Daughters of Frya – Toghatera ãfta Frya – are a spiritual order of women who follow the teachings of the Goddess Frya, as revealed to us in our sacred scripture, the Oera Linda Book. Membership is open to any woman who vows to:
1. Abstain from meat, intoxicants, sexual activity and orgasm
2. At all times wear only the tohnekka, the short white tunic
3. Perform 1, 200 deep knee-bends every day in devotion
In 2194 BC, during the Great Flood that destroyed Atland (The ‘Old Land’, in the North Sea) , the Goddess Frya – daughter of Wr-alda the All-Father and Irtha the Earth-Mother – called her descendants together and gave them her Tex, a set of sacred laws that form the core of the Oera Linda Book, before ascending to the heavens to dwell amongst the stars. At the same time she established an order of priestesses known as the famna (sing. fam) , to govern her people, the Frisians, wisely and benevolently. Today, the Daughters of Frya follow exactly the same regulations prescribed by Frya for the famna, as described in the Oera Linda Book. For a full English translation, please see our website.
We spend six hours a day in our devotions, in two shifts of three hours each (starting at 12 a.m./p.m., 3 a.m./p.m., 6 a.m./p.m. or 9 a.m./p.m., times being assigned to each member upon joining) . From an upright posture – with hands on our foreheads, palms facing forwards towards the foddik, or sacred lamp – we slowly bend our knees for six seconds whilst chanting Wr-alda, until we are on our haunches. We remain in this posture for another six seconds whilst chanting t-Anfang. We then slowly rise for six more seconds whilst chanting t-Bijin, until we are standing again. We repeat this immediately, and continue doing so for three hours (i.e. 600 times) . The second daily session is exactly the same, making a total of 1, 200 deep knee-bends each day. The chanted words mean ‘Wr-alda, the Origin, the Beginning’ and constitute our most sacred formula. The purpose of this ritual is to channel the Spirit of Wr-alda through our bodies, focusing and directing the energy back outwards and thus bringing health and fertility to the earth.
Our devotions take place outdoors in circular enclosures known as burgen (sing. burch) . Stone circles are ideal, but any location is fine, because the Spirit of Wr-alda courses through all the earth. The foddik is placed in the centre of the burch, its flame a physical manifestation of the Spirit of Wr-alda, for channelling. The ritual is led by the burchfam, the head of the burch, and there should always be seven famna present at the burch at any given time. Currently, however, most of our members conduct their rituals alone or in smaller groups. As our worldwide membership grows, we hope eventually to establish an active burch in every region. During our devotions and at all other times in our daily lives, regardless of the weather, we must wear only the white tohnekka, to symbolise our chastity and purity.
