“There I shall wait for my sons to join me. And when they do, I will bask in their tales of triumph. The aesir will welcome me. My death comes without apology. And I welcome the valkyries to summon me home.”

still not over the tragedy that is essentially their entire family

Loki and Frigg, not sure of the source but not mine.  I love the coloring and the details like Loki’s bleeding feet.

When it became light as the sun was rising, Frigga, the wife of Odin, turned the bed, where her husband was lying, putting his face toward the east, and woke him up. And looking at them, he saw the Winnilies and their women having their hair let down around their faces; and he said: “Who are these long-bearded ones?” And Frigga said to Odin, “Since you have given them a name, give them also the victory‘ And he gave them the victory, so that they should defend themselves according to this plan and gain victory. Since that time the Winnilies were called the Longobards

Óðinn about Frigg, probably. (via incorrectedda)

Fensalir is the hall of the goddess Frigg, chief among the Ásynjur. The name means “fen halls” or “swamp halls” in Old Norse. Fensalir is attested in the Poetic Edda, in Völuspá (quoted above) and the Prose Edda, in Gylfaginning, wherein Snorri describes the hall as “splendid.” Whether this was a true facet of Fensalir or whether Snorri knew nothing other than the name and needed an empty embellishment, we cannot know. Several 19th century scholars believe Fensalir’s etymology denotes not a swampy area but rather a wet, sea-side atmosphere, making Frigg a water goddess. Some others believe that Frigg and Sága are the same goddess, and their names and the names of their halls are simply interchangeable forms, for use of alliteration in lines of Eddic poetry.

Frigg, the All-Mother, is the wife of Odin and the goddess of love, birth, marriage, destiny, and the sky. She is a seer and the only one allowed to sit on the High Seat other than Odin.
