Frigg— Norse God"Queen of Asgard"

Queen of the Æsir

Frigg is the highest goddess of Norse mythology, wife of Odin and queen of Asgard. She sits beside the Allfather on his throne Hlidskjalf, from which they can see all that happens in the Nine Worlds. Her hall is Fensalir, the "marsh halls," where she dwells with her handmaidens who each embody different aspects of her power.

Keeper of Secrets

Frigg possesses the gift of prophecy—she knows the fate of all beings, mortal and divine. Yet unlike Odin, who seeks knowledge obsessively, Frigg keeps what she knows to herself. "Frigg knows all fates, though she speaks not of them." This silence is both her wisdom and her burden, for she knew Baldur would die yet could not prevent it.

The Spinning Goddess

Frigg spins the clouds from her distaff, weaving fate itself into the fabric of existence. Her spinning wheel connects her to the Norns, the fates who determine destiny. Some scholars believe Frigg and Freya were once the same goddess, later split into two: Frigg representing marriage and motherhood, Freya representing love and desire.

Mother's Love

Frigg's greatest myth is her desperate attempt to save Baldur. When he dreamed of death, she extracted oaths from every substance in existence not to harm him. Her failure—overlooking the mistletoe—haunts her. After Baldur's death, Frigg sent Hermod to bargain with Hel, and when even that failed, her grief was inconsolable.

Goddess of the Home

Frigg blesses marriages, protects mothers in childbirth, and watches over households. Women called upon her for fertility and safe deliveries. She represents the power of the domestic sphere—not lesser than warfare, but complementary to it. While Odin roves the worlds seeking wisdom, Frigg maintains the sacred order of hearth and home.
