FRIGG

Frigg, the Norse goddess of marriage and motherhood, is the wife of Odin and the Queen of Asgard. Renowned for her wisdom and foresight, she wields significant influence over the fates of both gods and mortals. Her deep maternal love is most indisputable in the tragic tale of her son Baldr. Foreseeing his death, Frigg journeyed across the realms, extracting promises from every being not to harm him. Only the mistletoe did not give her his word, as it was too young. However, she deemed it too insignificant to pose a threat. Loki, ever the trickster, exploited this oversight, leading to Baldr’s untimely death by a mistletoe arrow.

Frigg is also the mother of Hodr, who, deceived by Loki, accidentally killed his brother Baldr. Her third son is Hermod, the swift messenger of the Aesir gods. Her father is Fjorgynn, though little is known about him.

Her strategic mind shines in the story of Agnar and Geirröðr. While Odin favored Geirröðr, Frigg championed Agnar, and subtly sabotaged Geirröðr’s chances, ensuring Agnar’s success.

Frigg resides in her hall, Fensalir, accompanied by her loyal handmaidens: Fulla, Sjöfn, Snotra, Lofn, Gefjon, Vár, Hlín, Sága, Eir, Syn, Vör, and Gná.

Today, the US Supreme Court has confirmed that marriage equality is the law of the land.

We cannot let ourselves contentedly assume this fight is over for good, or forget the monumental amount of work still to be done for all our queer and trans siblings—but for now, I hope we in the (US) lgbtqia+ community and our hard-working allies can allow ourselves a moment of relief.

I offer my gratitude to Frigge for helping defend her queer children who are wed/engaged to someone they love.

I offer my gratitude to Lofn for helping preserve the legality of the oaths taken by queer lovers.

I offer my gratitude to Tyr for helping uphold the legal rights of queer families and spouses.

while I absolutely do think that Frigg and Freja are separate goddesses (although I also think it's a completely valid take to believe they are the same as well), I don't think we should boil the differences down to Frigg "domestic mother" and Freja "shieldmaiden whore"
