For day 7 of the 30 Days of Deity Devotion, we're covering all the names, epithets, etc. regarding Frigg. This took a really long time to do for such a short post, not just because I've been immensely busy but because these were really hard to dig up. I tried my best, but apparently Odin took all the names so almost none were left for his wife 😜 For real, though, there's not a lot there, and I've dug as deep as I could.

So Frigg and Odin happen upon these kids, who happen to be the recently orphaned sons of a king, and they are like "Hey, let's raise these kids." Now, I'm remembering like a shipwreck on a deserted island sort of thing with Frigg and Odin posing as the only locals, but I can't be assed to look it up right now. I'm literally writing this in the bath.

I don't think I really noticed Frigg my first time around the "interested in Norse mythology" block (high school). When I started poking at the idea of becoming heathen back in... I want to say 2012? I still didn't really pay attention to her. In fact, the idea of working with gods put me off, made me sick, because of how traumatized I was by my experience with Christianity.

Frigg is one of the goddesses of Norse mythology. She is best known for being the wife of Odin as well as the mother of Baldr. Her name most likely means "beloved" and evolved from the same Proto-Indo-European origin as the name Priya, which I happen to think is quite lovely.
