Völuspá
speaking of Vali (see Rind)
Nor did he ever wash his hands nor comb his hair,
until he brought Baldr's adversary to the funeral pyre;
and in Fen-halls Frigg wept
for the woe of Valhall--do you understand yet, or what more?
(see Hlín)
Then the second grief of Frigg comes about
when Odin advances to fight against the wolf,
and the bright slayer of Beli against Surt;
then the beloved of Frigg must fall.
Vafþrúðnismál
Odin said
'Advise me now, Frigg, I intend to journey to visit Vafthrudnir;
I've a great curiosity to contend in ancient matters with that all-wise giant.'
Frigg said
'I'd rather keep the Father of Hosts
at home in the court of the gods,
for I have always thought no giant is as powerful as Vafthrudnir is.'
Odin said
'Much I have travelled, much have I tried out,
much have I tested the Powers;
this I want to know; what kind of company is found in Vafthrudnir's hall.'
Frigg said
'Journey safely! Come back safely!
Be safe on the way!
May your wisdom be sufficient when, Father of Men, you speak with the giant'
Lokasenna
Prose Introduction
Ægir, who is also called Gymir, had brewed ale for the Æsir, when he got the great cauldron which has just been told about. To the feast there came Odin and Frigg, his wife.
Frigg said
'Your actions ought never to be
spoken in front of people,
what you two Æsir did in past times;
always keep ancient matters concealed.'
Loki said
'Be silent, Frigg, you're Fiorgyn's daughter
and you've always been mad for men:
Ve and Vili, Vidrir's wife,
both were taken into your embrace.'
Frigg said
'You know that if I had here in Ægir's hall
a boy like my son Baldr,
you wouldn't get away from the sons of the Æsir;
there'd be furious fighting against you.'
Loki said
'Frigg, do you want me to say still more about my wicked deeds;
for I brought it about that you will never again
see Baldr ride to the halls.'
Freyja said
'Mad you are, Loki, when you reckon up your ugly, hateful deeds;
Frigg knows, I think, all fate,
though she does not speak out.'
Grímnismál Prose Introduction
Odin and Frigg sat in Hlidskialf and looked into all the worlds. Odin said, 'Do you see Agnar, your foster child, there raising children with a giantess in a cave? But Geirrod, my foster-child, is king and rules over the land.' Frigg says: 'He is so stingy with food that he tortures his guests if it seems to him that too many have come.' Odin says that is the greatest lie. They wagered on the matter.
Frigg sent her handmaid, Fulla, to Geirrod. She told the king to beware lest a wizard, who had come into the country, should bewitch him, and said that he could be known by this sign: that no dog was so fierce that it would attack him. And that was the greatest slander that Geirrod was not generous with food; however, he had the man whom no dog could attack arrested. He was wearing a blue cloak and called himself Grimnir, and would say nothing more about himself, though he was asked. The king had him tortured to make him speak and set him between two fires, and he sat there eight nights.
Oddrúnargrátr
'May all the kindly beings help you,
Frigg and Freyja and more of the gods,
as you warded away the dangerous illness from me.'
