Frigg or Holda

Earth Goddess: Frija
Frigg (early Germanic Age. Proto-Germanic. Old Norse) > Frigga (Anglicized)
Frija (Old Norse) > Freya (late Viking Age)
The axis 
Frigg - goddess of love and marriage
Freya - goddess of war and sexuality
comes after splitting the Earth Goddess into two goddesses, a process that appears to have never been fully completed, but was instead interrupted by the arrival and acceptance of Christianity. German folklore does not mention Frija, but the names Perchte/Berchte and Holda (“the Gracious One”) (The Three Wise Women were celebrated on January 6 hee hee!) sound suspiciously like titles given to the goddess to keep from speaking her name - either from christian suppression or from fear of drawing the attention of her wilder side.
