A poem to the great goddess Frigg, who sees the fate of us all.
Oh Frigg
Foremost among goddesses
Did you know?
Your shining son dreamt
Of baleful dreams,
His light snuffed out.
Oh Frigg
Beloved of Spear Shaker
Did you know?
On Sleipnir, Óðinn rode
To the eastern door
Awakened the Völva.
Oh Frigg
Great Weaver
Did you know?
Vegtam played tricks
On the seeress
Her dark prophecy told.
Oh Frigg
Determined Mother
Did you know?
You beseeched
Nearly all spirits,
To save your precious Baldur.
Oh Frigg
Prepared for everything
Did you know?
The gods rejoiced in sport,
Throwing even the mighty Mjölnir
Nothing could harm your beautiful son.
Oh Frigg
Sorrowful Hlín
Did you know?
Blind Höd heard
Loki’s whispers,
Overlooked mistletoe darkened the Nine Realms.
Oh Frigg
Seeress of All of our Fates
Did you know?
You never could have saved him.
