Frigg

Culture: Norse   Also called: Frigga

Frigg is Odin's wife and queen of Asgard, a goddess of marriage, motherhood and foresight who is said to know every being's fate but reveal it to no one. Her grief for her son Baldr, and her failed attempt to secure oaths from every object in existence to keep him safe, is one of the Norse myths' most affecting stories.
