Frigga, also known as
Frigg is the wife of
Odin and the foremost goddess within the Norse
pantheon. She is the
patron of motherhood and marriage, as well as love and fertility. Because of their similar aspects, Frigga is often compared to and confused with
Freyja, but Frigga is from the
Aesir tribe, while Freyja belonged to the
Vanir.
Frigga is said to know the
destiny of every man but rarely reveals them. She is also known to favour warriors in battle. She is the mother of the noble
Balder and his twin,
Hod. Her house in
Asgard is Fensalir, which means "water halls". Her messenger and handmaiden is
Gna, who rides through the sky on her horse Hofvarpnir, and in certain myths she is said to have had affairs with Odin's brothers
Ve and
Vili.
Her colours are deep blue, red and dark green, and her Tarot cards are the Empress and the Lovers. Runes that can be applied or used in her name are
Berkana,
Ehwaz and
Gebo.
