Frigg is described as "the goddess among goddesses" and the wife of Odin. She is the Queen of the Aesir and the goddess of the sky. She was also known as the goddess of fertility, household, motherhood, love, marriage, and domestic arts.

Frigg is associated with handmaidens, who are also goddesses, who accompany her in the palace called Fensalir. Of the 11 goddesses who are seated nearby while Frigg works away at the jewel-covered spinning wheel, three are named as Frigg’s favorites - Lin, Fulla, and Gna

Frigg’s main symbols include the full moon, the sky, the spinning wheel and spindle, mistletoe and silver, many of which are shown in artistic representations of the goddess.

The myth surrounding Frigg and her role as a mother is by far the most famous. She gave birth to a son named Balder, whom she cherished. She was dedicated to helping her son grow & was protective. This became stronger when she had a dream that predicted her son's death.

She went around to every living thing in the world & demanded that her son would not be harmed. She ignored the mistletoe, which seemed insignificant at the time.
With time, the gods made up a game involving Balder. They'd throw anything they could find at him and watch it

bounce off him, never causing a bruise or simple scratch. Balder was never hurt, no matter the size or weight of d item. One day, Loki gave a dart made from mistletoe to Hodur, Balder’s twin brother, who was blind. Loki told Hodur that he would help him play the game with Balder.

With Loki’s assistance, Hodur threw the dart at his brother. Instead of it bouncing off of him like every other living thing on earth, it pierced his heart and killed him
When Frigg heard of his death, she went to work trying to alter Balder’s fate.

She sent Hermodr to the underwold in an attempt to ransom Balder’s soul. D Queen of the Underworld, Hel, agreed 2 release him only if all living things weep 4 him. Frigg set out, asking every living thing to weep for her lost son. They all agreed, except a giantess named Thokk

who refused Frigg’s request to weep and said, It is believed that this giantess was actually Loki in disguise. Either way, this cursed Balder to the Underworld forever.

Frigg is referenced in art and literature into the modern period. In the 18th century, Gustav III of Sweden, king of Sweden, composed Friggja, a play, so named after the goddess, and H. F. Block and Hans Friedrich Blunck's Frau Frigg und Doktor Faust in 1937

Frigg and Freyja have a lot in common, but aren't the same person as we think. But due to complexities in the debate, we won't talk about that. The weekday Friday (Frey's day) also bears her name.
