Frygg, leader of the Asynjur
The Allfather’s family has many branches, and Frygg is among the most strong and steadfast of his spouses. Her children are the most beautiful god Baldur and his twin brother Hodr. Among Heathens she is honoured as mother to all children, boon sister to all women who labour and support their household, and fierce chieftain of the sacred spirits of female power that are called Asynjur. She is distinct in her compassion and care for the state of marriage, fertility, and fidelity, and she is said to be the keeper of the spirit of the female line of ancestry. She is attended at her hall Fensalir by many of the Disir in her household, who are also known to be among the Valkyr, the choosers of the slain. They are also known as the Asynjur, and the Eddas speak of them as being a marvelous court headed by Frygg herself!
Know this, that these are her attendants…
Saga, who dwells at the low hall Sokkvabekkr, and drinks the waters of memory and wisdom…
Eir, glorious chooser of those who survive on the battlefield, healer and physician to whom one is wise to appeal to in times of great sickness…
Gefjun, patron of virgin women, attended by those who die as maidens
Fulla, bearer of the ashen coffer of Frygg and close counsel of the great lady
Sjofn, powerful whisperer of love and affection to those who need it, to both men and women, for Sja means to see, to long for love…
Lofn intercedes on the behalf of marriage to Odin and Frygg for those who are denied.
Var, keeper of vows and compacts made between men and women, and avenger of those who break them…
Vor, searching eye of truth for women, seeker of hidden things..
Syn, defender of Fensalir and all halls where fidelity rings true, denier of entry to the unjust suitor…
Hlin, keeper of men who Frygg desires to keep safe…
Snotra, prudent and wise among the attendants, moderate and calm when others are wrathful…
Gna, messenger of Frygg into all lands, fierce rider of the horse that runs over sea and sky, Hoof-tosser!
Frygg knows that the way of women is hard and beset with many challenges. She bears within her heart two great sorrows…the first for her son Baldur, who will die by the hand of his brother, and for her husband Odin whose fate in the jaws of Fenrir she is aware. It is for this reason that all who call on her understand her burdens, but also know the joy and glad tidings she brings to the households that honour her. All women and men know Frygg. To honour her you must look to her needs, to what brings joy to you who are women, and for men you should look to the favours you bear to those you love. Present these things on her day, Fredag, and praise her if you wish to win her attention.
Hail to you, mother Frygg!
