Gullveig ("power of gold") also named Heiðr ("witch") - in Norse mythology is a sorceress, who knows seidr (old Nordic form of shamanism) She was the reason for the outbreak of the War between the Æsir and the Vanir - the first war in the world. The Æsir pierced her with spears, burned her three times, but she remained alive and according to legends lives this days.

Some also believed that Gullveig could have been one of Freya's incarnations.
Freya weeps tears of gold and owns the golden, jewel-studded necklace Brísingamen, perhaps the most precious piece of jewelry in Old Norse literature. It was she who, according to the Ynglinga Saga, first brought seidr to the Æsir, and who first taught it to Odin. Thus, the connections between Freya and Gullveig’s defining characteristics – magic and material wealth – are quite clear, making interrelation of the two quite probable.
