    Hierarch Goddess Frigga (Frigg, Frija, Fricka), the "AllMother Goddess" and "Knower of Destinies", was the patroness of marriage, childbirth, children, households, social order, traditional protective magicks, and the women's crafts of spinning, weaving, cooking, and sewing.

    Frigga was a seeress who spun luminescent providential patterns from her gem encrusted staff that were both encompassing and far-reaching in scope.

    She also shared her husband Odin's leadership of the gods, as well as, his high seat from which she could see all of the Nine Worlds.

    Holder of housewifery keys, she was known for her discretion and never revealed any of the secrets she kept in her home, "Fensalier", "The Ocean Halls".
