If Bragi's mother is Frigg, then Frigg is somewhat dismissive of Bragi in the Lokasenna in stanza 27 when Frigg complains that if she had a son in Ægir's hall as brave as Baldr then Loki would have to fight for his life.

Frigg appears primarily in Norse mythological stories as a wife and a mother.

Frigg is the mother of Baldr.

In the 13th century Prose Edda, due to the scheming of Loki, the god Baldr is killed by his brother, the blind god Höðr, by way of a mistletoe projectile, despite the attempts of Baldr's mother, the goddess Frigg, to have all living things and inanimate objects swear an oath not to hurt Baldr after Baldr had troubling dreams of his death.

The latter turned to Odin ( Godan ), while Gambara, the mother of the two Lombard chieftains Ibor and Aio, turned to Odin's spouse Frea ( Freyja / Frigg ).

* Twark, stating that this literary archetype of an overprotective mother arguably originates in Germanic mythology, traces it as far back as the Nordic goddess Frigg, who tried to protect her son Balder from all earthly perils.

Sent by Baldr's mother, the goddess Frigg, the god Hermóðr rides to the location of Hel to resurrect Baldr.

" Davidson adds that " yet this is not the impression given in the account of Hermod's ride to Hel later in Gylfaginning ( 49 )" and points out that here Hel " with authority as ruler of the underworld " and that from her realm " gifts are sent back to Frigg and Fulla by Balder's wife Nanna as from a friendly kingdom.

According to the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, the goddess Frigg made everything in existence swear never to harm Baldr, except for the mistletoe which she found too young to demand an oath from.

Frigg was unable to get an oath from mistletoe, because " it seemed too young " to demand an oath from.

Frigg revealed that it is due to the oath they have taken.

The disguised Loki asks if nothing can hurt Baldr, and Frigg reveals that only mistletoe can, for it seemed to her too young to demand an oath from.

Scholars have theorized about whether or not Freyja and the goddess Frigg ultimately stem from a single goddess common among the Germanic peoples ; about her connection to the valkyries, female battlefield choosers of the slain ; and her relation to other goddesses and figures in Germanic mythology, including the thrice-burnt and thrice-reborn Gullveig / Heiðr, the goddesses Gefjon, Skaði, Þorgerðr Hölgabrúðr and Irpa, Menglöð, and the 1st century BCE " Isis " of the Suebi.

The English term Friday derives from the Anglo-Saxon name for Frigg, Frige.

Old Norse Frigg ( genitive Friggjar ), Old Saxon Fri, and Old English Frig are derived from Common Germanic Frijjō.

The goddess Saga, who was described as drinking with Odin from golden cups in her hall " Sunken Benches ," may be Frigg by a different name.

Frigg responded that nothing could harm Baldr, as she had taken oaths from all things.

After the gods gathered their wits from the immense shock and grief of Baldr's death, Frigg asked the Æsir who amongst them wished " to gain all of her love and favor " by riding the road to Hel.

But his queen Frigg, desiring to go forth more beautified, called smiths, and had the gold stripped from the statue.

Finally, there is an argument that Frigg and Freyja are similar goddesses from different pantheons who were first conflated into each other and then later seen as separate goddesses again ( see also Frige ).

An English charter from 936 AD displays the name Frigedune, which means " Valley of Frig ," thus implying that Friden in Derbyshire is named after Frigg.

The Winnili were fewer in number and Gambara sought help from Frea ( the goddess Frigg ), who advised that all Winnili women should tie their hair in front of their faces like beards and march in line with their husbands.

Frigg responds that if there was a boy like her now-deceased son Baldr in the hall, Loki would not be able to escape from the wrath of the gods.

The Germanic gods Woden, Frigg, Tiw, and Thunor, who are attested to in every Germanic tradition, were worshipped in Wessex, Sussex, and Essex, and they are the only ones directly attested to, though the names of the third and fourth months ( March and April ) of the Old English calendar bear the names Hrethmonath and Eosturmonath, meaning " month of Hretha " and " month of Ēostre ", it is presumed from the names of two goddesses who were worshipped around that season.

# The eighth is Lofn, who is kind and good to those who call upon her, and she has permission from Alfather or Frigg to bring together men and women, no matter what difficulties may stand in the way ; therefore " love " is so called from her name, and also that which is much loved by men.

# The twelfth is Hlin, who guards those men whom Frigg wants to protect from any danger.

The name Friday comes from the Old English Frīġedæġ, meaning the " day of Frigg ", a result of an old convention equivocating the Old English goddess Frige with the Roman goddess Venus, with whom the day is associated in many different cultures.

High tells Gangleri ( earlier in the book described as King Gylfi in disguise ) that Hlín " is given the function of protecting people whom Frigg wishes to save from some danger.

After the gods gathered their wits from the immense shock and grief of Baldr's death, Frigg asked the Æsir who amongst them wished " to gain all of her love and favor " by riding the road to Hel.

Like the name of the group of gods to which Freyja belongs, the Vanir, the name Freyja is not attested outside of Scandinavia, as opposed to the name of the goddess Frigg, who is attested as a goddess common among all Germanic peoples, and whose name is reconstructed as Proto-Germanic * Frijjō.

The woman asked Frigg if all things had indeed promised not to hurt Baldr, to which Frigg reveals that:

The goddess Frigg asks who among the Æsir will earn " all her love and favour " by riding to Hel, the location, to try to find Baldr, and offer Hel herself a ransom.

The goddess Freyja declares that Loki must be mad, stating that Frigg knows all fate, yet she does not speak it.

In the border, the gods, Odin, Frigg, Loki, Freyr, and Thor all search despairingly for the hidden treasure.

Frigg, on the other hand, while she " knows all ørlǫg ", " says it not herself " ( Lokasenna 30 ).

Escape seems hopeless however Frigg eventually frees them all, and ends the war as a second lieutenant in charge of a radio station, using the countess's castle as its base.

Among the visions which the Völva sees and describes in the prophecy known as the Völuspá is one of the fatal mistletoe, the birth of Váli and the weeping of Frigg ( stanzas 31-33 ).

Frigg is cognate with Sanskrit prīyā ́ which means " wife.

The same story is referenced in one stanza of the poem, Lokasenna, in which Loki insults Frigg by accusing her of infidelity with Odin's brothers:

But still Frigg preferred the splendour of her own apparel to the divine honours of her husband, and submitted herself to the embraces of one of her servants ; and it was by this man's device she broke down the image, and turned to the service of her private wantonness that gold which had been devoted to public idolatry.

# Frigg is the first ; she possesses the right lordly dwelling which is called Fensaler.

If they did not, Grundy says, the question of explaining the relationship between Freyja and Óðr becomes central, which has been one of the strongest points made in favor of the descent of Frigg and Freyja from a common goddess.

* The power of prophecy is attributed to Frigg, which seems more properly related to the seid ( magic or divination ) of Freyja.

This identification makes sense in light of the History of the Lombards and the Second Merseburg Charm, which prove a knowledge and a veneration of Frigg in the same area in the centuries before the Frau Holle legend came to be recorded.

Frigg discovers a secret passage from his bedroom to the gatehouse outside the villa's fence, which he intends to use to escape with the other generals.
