Description
Frigga, is a powerful goddess in Norse mythology, known as the wife of Odin and the mother of Balder, Hodor, and Hermod. Frigga is known as the goddess of marriage and motherhood. Her name comes from the verb “fríja” which means “to love”. She is often associated with marriage, family, and motherhood, and her name even gives rise to the English day of the week “Friday”. Frigga is believed to have the ability to see into the future and possesses a great deal of wisdom, often outsmarting even Odin.
Frigga is often seen with a goose at her feet, symbolizing her connection to domestic life and fertility. She is even affectionately known as the “first mother goose”. The connection to the beloved character of Mother Goose in folklore is because she is known for weaving cautionary tales to inform and protect children.
To honor Frigga one can engage in activities that reflect acts of nurturing, home-making, and seeking wisdom. Acknowledging and celebrating the power and strength of women is also a way to show Frigga reverence. Offerings like water, an herbal tea blend of Chamomile, Rose, Dandelion Root, Allspice, Ginger Root, and Willow Bark, or even a drink of ale or mead are also fitting. Frigga is associated with several herbs and plants, notably the birch tree, which is considered her sacred tree. Other plants with connections to Frigga include Lady’s Mantle, Lady’s Bedstraw, Thyme, and Borage. When working with Frigga you may choose to use Rose Quartz for love, Amethyst for psychic abilities and protection, as well as Selenite for clarity and cleansing.
