Frigg and Oðin watch from Hliðskjálf Frigg
Frigg is a goddess who is well known as the wife of Oðin and the mother of Baldr. She is associated with a wide variety of roles including: protective-parent, seer, textile-worker, ruthless adversary, housekeeper and seductress. Although many popular retellings of the Norse myths portray Frigg as Oðin's faithful partner, in the original sources she is disloyal to her husband on a number of occasions.

The name Frigg is related to Old Saxon fri and Anglo-Saxon freo, which simply mean 'woman'.
