Do you ever worry about the deities who aren't widely worshipped?

Or even really spoken about much?

The ones who fall to time?

Or do you think that a God never truly dies but only sleeps?

And that, some day, if someone finds them then they can be worshipped and brought to life once more?

Why does Frigg get no attention?

She's queen of the Æsir and is stated to be just as important and wise as Odin, sometimes she even outwits him.

She holds a pretty important place but she's just... ignored.

I personally am not close with her but she still has a spot on my altar beside Odin and she gets offerings on special days because I wanna let her know I know

"–Odin turned into an eagle and fled, his belly full of stolen mead. Suttungr furiously did the same, giving chase to the wiley Wanderer. When the other Æsir saw Odin returning they rushed to find anything they could use to catch the precious drops of gold falling from his beak.

For this was no ordinary mead. It was the Mead of Poetry, brewed from Bragi's blood and honeyed tongue. It was so precious that they even collected the drops that fell from Odin's other end when Suttungr's speed startled him.

This was called "skáldfífla hlutr", the "rhymester's share". It was reserved for lesser skalds and scholars. Those who wrote cruder verses–what could be called today "shit-posting"."

So Frigg asks a favor of one of the dwarves and he's like "yeah I'll do it, but only if you smile at me"

Most reasonable and normal negotiation in mythology

"Fulla, who was always ready to serve her mistress, immediately departed, and soon returned, accompanied by a hideous dwarf, who promised to prevent the statue from speaking if Frigga would only deign to smile graciously upon him."

So when the berserkers go into a confrontational fit of blind rage, they're blessed by Odin

"It is clear that from such an array of sources... no coherent account of Norse mythology can be extracted, and, indeed, there is no reason to assume that the myths seek to express a single, orthodox belief."

one of my favorite tropes of media is fate and when it comes to their lessons on how you deal with them

"Religion is setting us back as a society, have you noticed how much we developed technology-wise after we started moving away from religious life?"

Have you, my friend, noticed the state of the planet after we stopped worshipping it?
