[edit] Redirect
Frige redirects to this page. Is this an alternative spelling, or a mis-spelling? If the former then it should be listed on this page. --HappyDog 22:35, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I redirected Frige to this page. It is reasonable to do so since Frige was the Anglo-Saxon version of Frigga or Freya, in the same way as Woden was the A-S version of Odin. If anyone has information about Frige that neatly distinguishes her from Frigge, they should create a page for her alone. Waiting for that to happen, I have added the form Frige to the page.--Wiglaf
- OK - I thought it probably was but I wasn't certain enough to make the change myself. Cheers. -- HappyDog 16:48, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Anyone have a source on the "Vili and Ve" thing? I've never heard this before, and Odin's two brothers don't seem to have any significance after the creation of the world.
- Regarding the story about Vili and Ve: It's in the Yngling Saga (part of the Heimskringla), and there is also a reference to it in the Lokasenna.
[edit] Orion's belt
I'm Norwegian, and I've never heard Orion's belt being called Friggerock (or anything like it). It's most definitely knowns as "Orions belte".--Unclevortex 12:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Per Grimm's Teutonic Religion, it is (or was) Friggerrock in Swedish. Can you confirm or deny? Crypticfirefly 03:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Unclevortex: You are Norwegian. Sure. And you live in 20th century. Your country converted to Christianity since 10th century. Who would be brave enough to say "Friggerock" anymore since then? Mentioning a pagan goddess = killed back then, I guess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.19.43.193 (talk) 18:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Added {{quotefarm}} tag.
Since 222.252.227.234 (talk · contribs) seems pretty set on sticking in a huge number of direct quotes, and I'm not well-versed in the subject, I added a {{quotefarm}} tag. Please feel free to remove once consensus has been reached and summaries are made instead. --slakr\ talk / 12:00, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 12 handmaids
Hlín: Hlín is one of the three handmaids of Frigg, together with Fulla and Gná.
Frigg: Frigg's attendants are Hlín (a goddess of protection), Gná (a messenger goddess), and Fulla (a fertility goddess).
Then below, it says Saga and Gerfjon and a lot more are Frigg's handmaids. In the Prose Edda, those are just mentioned together as goddesses and nothing is said about those being Frigg's handmaids.
Moreeover, which mythological writtings state that Frigg is goddess of household management, marriage, motherhood, domestic arts, justice? She is said to have woven or spun the clouds... which pagan Viking said that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.19.43.193 (talk) 16:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
