Frigg
Frigg (Old Norse: Frigg, , [ˈfriɡː], Old Swedish: Frigg, genitive: Friggiar, etc, Early Modern Swedish: Frigg etc; Old English: Frīg; Old Saxon: Frī; Old Frisian: Frīa; Old High German: Frīja; Lombardic: Frēa) is a goddess, one of the Æsir, in Germanic mythology. In Norse mythology, the source of most surviving information about her, she is associated with marriage, prophecy, clairvoyance and motherhood, and dwells in the wetland halls of Fensalir. The names ultimately stem from the Proto-Germanic theonym Frijjō. Nearly all sources portray her as the wife of the god Odin.
Frigg
In Old High German and Old Norse sources, she is specifically connected with Fulla, but she is also associated with the goddesses Lofn, Hlín, Gná, and ambiguously with the Earth, otherwise personified as an apparently separate entity Jörð (Old Norse: 'Earth'). The children of Frigg and Odin include the gleaming god Baldr.
