Frigg is the powerful Queen of the Norse gods (Æsir), wife of Odin, and mother of Baldur, known as the goddess of love, marriage, fertility, family, wisdom, prophecy, and motherhood, often depicted as a sky goddess weaving fate and clouds, possessing foresight but rarely interfering, and associated with hearth, home, and symbols like keys, representing wealth and domestic management, though sometimes confused with the similar goddess Freyja.

Key Characteristics & Roles:
> Queen of Asgard: Sits in Odin's high seat, Hliðskjálf, observing all worlds.
Goddess of Home & Hearth: Governs domestic life, marriage, and fertility, a central figure for families.
Seer & Weaver of Fate (Völva): Knows the future and weaves destiny but keeps silent about it, a key aspect of her wisdom.
Sky Goddess: Often linked to the sky and clouds, which were thought to reflect her moods.
Protector & Mother: Deeply protective, famously mourning her son Baldur.
Symbolism: Carries keys, symbolizing household management, wealth, and status.
Appearance: Tall, beautiful, often in white or dark clothes, with keys on her belt, sometimes using a falcon cloak to fly.

Key Mythological Story (Death of Baldur): Frigg's most famous story involves her efforts to protect her beloved son Baldur from death; she secured oaths from everything in creation not to harm him, but overlooked the harmless mistletoe, which Loki used to trick the blind god Hod into killing Baldur, causing Frigg immense grief.

Connection to Other Deities:
Odin: Her husband, the All-Father. Freyja: Often linked or confused with Freyja (goddess of love, beauty) due to shared attributes, potentially evolving from a common Germanic deity, Frija.

Etymology & Legacy: Her name means "beloved" and relates to words for love and marriage. The English day Friday (from Old English Frigeaeg?) is named after her.
