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.

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 ).

" 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.

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.

" 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.

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 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.

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.

Loki changed himself into a woman and visited Frigg at her hall Fensalir.

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.

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.

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

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.

Loki brings up that Frigg is the daughter of Fjörgyn, a personification of the earth, and that she had once taken Odin's brothers Vili and Vé into her embrace.

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.

Loki reminds Frigg that he is responsible for the death of her son Baldr.

# 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 fourteenth is Gna, whom Frigg sends on her errands into various worlds.

A depiction of Fulla kneeling beside her mistress, Frigg, ( 1865 ) by Ludwig Pietsch.

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.

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.

Frigg ( seated ) and Fulla by Ludwig Pietsch ( 1865 )

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

* The goddess Frigg has three handmaidens, including Fulla, Gná and Hlín.

In chapter 19, ways to refer to Frigg are provided, including that Frigg may be referred to as " queen of Æsir and Asyniur, of Fulla and falcon form and Fensalir.

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

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.

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

Frigg retorted that Geirröth was so parsimonious and inhospitable that he would torture his guests if he thought there were too many of them.

" Afterwards, in sections 50 and 51, a series of events occur where the gods take revenge upon Loki by binding him and thus furthering the onset of Ragnarök, though Frigg is not mentioned further

However, when they learned that Frigg was an economics major who could increase the value of their loot, they welcomed him with open arms.

By this sense of the word, Sif would appear to be, like Frigg and Freyja, a goddess of loveliness and love ; as attributes of Oðinn and Thôrr agree, their wives Frigg and Sif have also a common signification.

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

The lay commences with Odin asking advice and directions of Frigg as to whether it would be wise to seek out the hall of Vafþrúðnir.

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

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

Grundy concludes that, as " gods tend to reflect the social norms of their worshippers ," it very possible that Odin / Óðr originally " could have rejoiced in Frigg and Freyja simultaneously ".

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

The villages of Froyle (" Frigg's Hill ") and Freefolk (" Frigg's People ") in Hampshire, England may also be named after Frigg.

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.

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

" 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.

Andy Orchard says that in Völuspá, Hlín appears to be just another name for Frigg, and adds that " the numerous occurrences of the name in skaldic poetry in poetic periphrases or kennings for women do nothing to dispel the confusion.

Simek states that Hlín is likely simply another name for Frigg, and that Snorri " misunderstood her to be a goddess in her own right in his reading of the Völuspá stanza.

" Stephan Grundy states that Sága and Sökkvabekkr may be by-forms of Frigg and Fensalir used for the purpose of composing alliterative verse.

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

In the third volume of his Deutsche Mythologie, Grimm writes: “ I am more and more convinced that Holda can be nothing but an epithet of the mild and ‘ gracious ’ Fricka ; and Berhta, the shining, is identical with her too .” In Lower Saxony, the parts assigned to Frau Holle are played by fru Freke corresponding to Anglo-Saxon Fricg, Old High German Frikka, Frikkia, Old Norse Frigg.

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.

Lindow states that some scholars theorize that Sjöfn may be the goddess Frigg under another name.

Frigg allows himself to be captured, and is imprisoned in the same jail as the brigadiers.
