Inspired by Norse mythology, their mural is a modern interpretation of the goddess named Freya, who, not surprisingly, rules over matters regarding fertility and love, and also provides for those killed in war. With a nod to Norse sorcery, war, and death, there also represented is a holy tree named Yggdrasil that reaches far into the soil and far into the heavens.
