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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Frigg plays a major role in section 49 of the 13th century Prose Edda book Gylfaginning written by Snorri Sturluson, where a version of a story relating the death of Baldr is recorded by Snorri.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

" 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.

In his disguise, Loki there asked Frigg why Baldr was not harmed by the objects.

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 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 ).

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

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.

Modern English translations have sometimes altered Frigg to Frigga.

It has been suggested that " Frau Holle " of German folklore is a survival of Frigg.

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.
