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.

Frigg is cognate with Sanskrit prīyā ́ which means " wife.

Modern English translations have sometimes altered Frigg to Frigga.

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:

Odin and his wife, Frigg, are the rulers of Asgard.

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.

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

A depiction of Odin and Frigg ( 1895 ) by Lorenz Frølich.

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

There are clearly many similarities between the two: both had flying cloaks of falcon feathers and engaged in shape-shifting, Frigg was married to Odin while Freyja was married to Óðr, both had special necklaces, both had a personification of the Earth as a parent, both were called upon for assistance in childbirth, etc.

The narrative commences at a point when Odin and his wife, Frigg, were sitting in Hlidskjalf, looking out on the worlds.

Geirröth and his older brother Agnarr had been raised by Odin and Frigg, respectively.

In Hliðskjálf, Odin remarked to Frigg that his foster-child Geirröth seemed to be prospering more so than her Agnarr.

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 ).

Frigg, a major goddess and Odin's wife, says that what Loki and Odin did in the ancient past should not be spoken of in front of others, and that ancient matters should always remain hidden.

" Additionally, in book II, Biarco mentions Odin and Sleipnir: " If I may look on the awful husband of Frigg, howsoever he be covered in his white shield, and guide his tall steed, he shall in no way go safe out of Leire ; it is lawful to lay low in war the war-waging god.

This pantheon includes Odin, Frigg, Thor, Baldr and Tyr.

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.

Frigg sends her servant maid Fulla to warn the king Geirröd — Frigg's patron — that a magician ( actually Odin in disguise ) will visit him.

" 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 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 and Odin wagering upon Hliðskjálf in Grímnismál ( 1895 ) by Lorenz Frølich.

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.

Völsung was the great-grandson of Odin himself, and it was Odin's consort Frigg who made sure that Völsung would be born.

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

John Lindow says that due to similarity between the goddess Sága's Sökkvabekkr and Fensalir, the open drinking between Sága and Odin, and the potential etymological basis for Sága being a seeress " have led most scholars to understand Sága as another name for Frigg.

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

Davidson also notes a further connection between fertility and apples in Norse mythology ; in chapter 2 of the Völsunga saga when the major goddess Frigg sends King Rerir an apple after he prays to Odin for a child, Frigg's messenger ( in the guise of a crow ) drops the apple in his lap as he sits atop a mound.

Saxo Grammaticus wrote in his Gesta Danorum another story about Frigg:

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