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 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.

Frigg is cognate with Sanskrit prīyā ́ which means " wife.

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.

In Norse mythology, Fulla is described as wearing a golden snood and as tending to the ashen box and the footwear owned by the goddess Frigg, and, in addition, Frigg confides in Fulla her secrets.

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.

In the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, Frigg is described as weeping over her son Baldr's death in Fensalir.

In chapter 35 of the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, High tells Gangleri ( described as king Gylfi in disguise ) that Frigg is the highest among the ásynjur, and that " she has a dwelling called Fensalir and it is very splendid.

In Vafþrúðnismál Odin was wary to visit the giant's hall, as he was described by Frigg as being the most powerful giant she knows.

In Gylfaginning Frigg is described by Snorri as the preeminent goddess.

* Both Frigg and Freyja are described as having traded sex for jewelry.

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

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.

In the Prose Edda, Njord was introduced as " the third among the Æsir ", and among the Asynjur, Freyja is always listed second only to Frigg.

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.

In West German traditions only Frigg is attested.

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.

Many arguments have been made both for and against the idea that Frigg and Freyja are really the same goddess, avatars of one another.

Examples of goddesses attested in Norse mythology include Frigg ( wife of Odin, and the Anglo-Saxon version of whom is namesake of the modern English weekday Friday ), Skaði ( one time wife of Njörðr ), Njerda ( Scandinavian name of Nerthus ), that also was married to Njörðr during Bronze Age, Freyja ( wife of Óðr ), Sif ( wife of Thor ), Gerðr ( wife of Freyr ), and personifications such as Jörð ( earth ), Sól ( the sun ), and Nótt ( night ).

In Grímnismál, Odin and Frigg are both sitting in Hliðskjálf when they see their foster sons Agnarr and Geirröðr, one living in a cave with a giantess and the other a king.

Frigg then made the accusation to her husband that Geirröðr was miserly and inhospitable toward guests, so after wagering with one another over the veracity of the statement Odin set out to visit Geirröðr in order to settle the matter.

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.

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.

Frigg counsels against this course of action, saying that Vafþrúðnir is an extremely powerful giant, the most powerful one she knows.

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

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 ).

The goddess Frigg surrounded by three other goddesses.

In Norse mythology, Gná is a goddess who runs errands in other worlds for the goddess Frigg and rides the flying, sea-treading horse Hófvarpnir ( Old Norse " he who throws his hoofs about ", " hoof-thrower " or " hoof kicker ").

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:

Nanna gave a linen robe for Frigg along with other gifts and a finger-ring for Fulla.

In Snorri Sturluson's Skáldskaparmál, Jörð ( as the personified earth ) is called the rival of Odin's wife Frigg and his other giantess concubines, Rindr and Gunnlöd, the mother-in-law of Sif, Thor's wife, daughter of Nótt, and sister of Auðr and Dagr.

" Lindow says that, along with many other goddess, some scholars theorize that Lofn may simply be another name for the goddess Frigg.

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

In an attempt to bring back Baldr from the dead, the god Hermóðr rides to Hel and, upon receiving the hope of resurrection from the being Hel, Nanna gives Hermóðr gifts to give to the goddess Frigg ( a robe of linen ), the goddess Fulla ( a finger-ring ), and other gifts ( unspecified ).

Nanna presents to Hermóðr a series of gifts: a linen robe for Frigg, a golden ring for the goddess Fulla, and other unspecified items.

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.
