Shrine of Frijjo

Frijjo is the original domestic goddess. The highest ranking female of the Aesir, wife of Wodanaz and stepmother to Teiwaz and Thunaraz, Frijjo governed over everything female in the world, from the crafts of weaving, sewing, spinning and cooking to all the mysteries of fertility and birth. As queen to Wodanaz she is his match in wisdom and majesty. The Germans made offerings to her to keep social order and bless their marriages and children. As she weaved the cosmic order, so she kept peace at home: mothers would pray to her to keep their sons safe in battle as they sewed protective garments for them. She was also believed to be a seeress who knew the future but rarely revealed it. Friday is named after her.
