Frigg, also known as Frigga, was an Asgardian Isu belonging to the group known as the Æsir. Former wife of Odin and the mother of Baldr.
She later became a widely revered god in both Norse and Germanic mythology as a goddess of marriage, motherhood, clairvoyance and prophecy.
History
Sometime during the Isu Era Frigg married the Asgardian leader Odin and became the queen of asgard, with Odin she mothered the child Baldr which she loved dearly. Though for Political reasons Odin decided to remarry to the Vanir Freyja who then became the Queen of Asgard.
When Odin returned to Asgard from his trips in far off lands when speaking to Freya he pointed out that he had not seen Frigg in quite some time.
When Baldr was kidnapped by the Muspel Leader Surtr she became enraged and sought to rescue her child in Svartálfaheimr.
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 was the mother of Baldr. In the Prose Edda, Loki tried to kill Baldr but was unsuccessful. After asking Frigg why no object could hurt her son, she explained that it was because all objects on Earth had taken an oath not to harm him, save for mistletoe, which either was deemed too unimportant to consider asking or was too young to swear an oath. With this knowledge, Loki immediately created a mistletoe arrow to kill Baldr, and tricked Baldr's blind brother Höðr into loosing it at him.[1]
Legacy and influence
Frigg had a totem named after her in the popular dice game Orlog. The piece "Frigg's Sight" would allow players to reroll a number of the opponent's dice. An Anglo-Saxon man in Folcanstan, Cent possessed the piece, which he gave to the Viking shieldmaiden Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan after being defeated.[2]
