Frigg

Frigg is the queen of the Æsir and the one being who shares Odin's deepest gift — she too knows the fates of all things, and like him she keeps her knowing silent. Odin's wife and the mother of bright Baldr, she is the still centre of the gods' household: less wandering than her husband, more rooted, and in the great crisis of the mythology the most tragic. It was Frigg who loved Baldr so fiercely that she went through the whole world taking oaths from every thing never to harm him — and missed only the mistletoe, too young to swear. Loki found that one gap, and through it killed her son. Her foresight could not save him; her love only mapped out the single soft place where doom could enter. In the wisdom-poems she appears as Odin's wary counsellor, warning him against the contests his restlessness drives him into — the one who sees the danger he insists on walking toward.
