Frigg
or Frigga, in Scandinavian mythology, the wife of Odin and queen of the gods. Half the fallen in battle belong to her. Frigg is frequently confused with Freya, but they are two distinct goddesses. Frigg is the mother of Baldur the Beautiful. She spins with a golden distaff. She knows the future, but never reveals it. She understands also the language of plants and animals. She presides over marriages and love in its highest form. Frigg's chariot is drawn by cats. She has two maids, one to guard her jewels, one to befriend the needy. Gna, her messenger, rides on a winged horse. See Freya
I fly not, nor do drive, but hurry fast,
Hoof-flinger swift thro' clouds and mist and sky.
--Eddas.
