Frigg

Frigg is a goddess and one of the sir, the main gods of Norse religion, according to Germanic mythology. She is connected to motherhood, marriage, prophecy, and clairvoyance in Norse mythology, which contains the majority of the information still in existence about her. She resides in the Fensalir marsh halls. She is known as Frja in Old High German, Fra in Langobardic, Frg in Old English, Fra in Old Frisian, and Fr in Old Saxon mythology. These names all derive from the Proto-Germanic theonym *Frijj, which means "(the) Beloved" or "(the) Free." She is almost universally portrayed as Odin's wife.


She is expressly linked to Fulla in Old High German and Old Norse sources, but she is also ambiguously linked to the Earth, which is elsewhere personified as an apparently independent entity called Jör (Old Norse: "Earth"). The shining god Baldr is one of Frigg and Odin's offspring. Scholars have suggested a link to the goddess Freyja due to a considerable thematic match. Her name is borne by the English word Friday, which ultimately means "Frigg's Day." Frigg was still mentioned in Scandinavian folklore after Christianity spread there. Frigg has gained popularity in modern society, been the subject of artwork, and is revered in Germanic Neopaganism.
