Frigg was the goddess of foresight and wisdom in Norse mythology.
Mythology
Frigg was said to live in the wetland halls of Fensalir. She is often mentioned as the wife of Odin and one of the highest of the Æsir. In both the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda she's the mother of Baldr. In the Prose Edda, Loki tried to kill Baldr but was unsuccesful. After asking Frigg why no object can hurt her son, she explains it's due to an oath the objects took. Only mistletoe could hurt him. Loki immediately created an mistletoe projectile to kill Baldr.[1]
Legacy and influence
Frigg had a totem named after her in the popular dice game Orlog. The piece "Frigg's Sight" would reroll a number of dice of the enemy player. An Anglo-Saxon man in Folcanstan, Cent possessed the piece, which he gave to Eivor Varinsdottir after being defeated.[2]
