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 ).

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.

The connection with and possible earlier identification of Freyja with Frigg in the Proto-Germanic period ( Frigg and Freyja origin hypothesis ) is a matter of scholarly debate.

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.

Regarding a Freyja-Frigg origin hypothesis, scholar Stephan Grundy comments that " the problem of whether Frigg or Freyja may have been a single goddess originally is a difficult one, made more so by the scantiness of pre-Viking Age references to Germanic goddesses, and the diverse quality of the sources.

In verse, after Loki has flyted with the goddess Frigg, Freyja interjects, telling Loki that he is insane for dredging up his terrible deeds, and that Frigg knows the fate of everyone, though she does not tell it.

Frigg ( sometimes anglicized as Frigga ) is a major goddess in Norse paganism, a subset of Germanic paganism.

Frigg is described as the only one other than Odin who is permitted to sit on his high seat Hlidskjalf and look out over the universe.

Frigg is the mother of Baldr.

In the Poetic Edda poem Lokasenna 26, Frigg is said to be Fjörgyns mær (" Fjörgynn's maiden ").

The problem is that in Old Norse mær means both " daughter " and " wife ," so it is not fully clear if Fjörgynn is Frigg's father or another name for her husband Odin, but Snorri Sturluson interprets the line as meaning Frigg is Fjörgynn's daughter ( Skáldskaparmál 27 ), and most modern translators of the Poetic Edda follow Snorri.

19th-century scholar Jacob Grimm proposes a reconstruction of a Germanic deity cognate to Sif in other Germanic cultures, and proposes a similar nature to that of the goddesses Frigg and Freyja:

The curious name of Fryup probably comes from the Old English * Frige-hop: Frige was an Anglo-Saxon goddess cognate with the Old Norse goddess Frigg ; hop denoted a small valley.

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 was a goddess associated with married women.

While Hermóðr rides to Hel, Frigg arrives at the cremation with Odin, Hugin and Munin, and the Valkyries.

After a long journey, Hermóðr arrives in Hel, meets with Hel and pleads for the return of Baldr on behalf of Frigg.

" Along with other gifts ," only two gifts are specifically mentioned: a white linen robe for Frigg and a golden ring for Fulla.

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:

At home, Frigg went with a certain Mith-Othin and took over Odin's properties, until Odin came back and drove them away.

There is also an argument that Frigg and Freyja are part of a triad of goddesses ( together with a third goddess such as Hnoss or Iðunn ) associated with the different ages of womankind.

The areas of influence of Frigg and Freyja do not quite match up with the areas of influence often seen in other goddess triads.

" 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.

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.

# The sixth is Freyja, who is ranked with Frigg.

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.

In the prose introduction to the Poetic Edda poem Grímnismál, Frigg makes a wager with her husband — the god Odin — over the hospitality of their human patrons.

In Norse mythology, Hlín ( Old Norse " protectress ") is a goddess associated with the goddess Frigg.

In chapter 49, High describes that when Odin and his wife Frigg arrived at the funeral of their slain son Baldr, with them came the valkyries and also Odin's ravens.

Frigg, his mother, here takes an oath from all things, which includes disease, poisons, the elements, objects and all living beings that none will harm Baldr.

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

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.

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.

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

# 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.

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.

" John Lindow observes that if Hlín is indeed Frigg, then this means that Hlín's " second sorrow " in Völuspá is the death of Odin, the first being the death of Baldr.

In chapter 19, means of referring to Frigg are provided, including " mother-in-law of Nanna.
