Frigga ("the Beloved one") is
indeed a very domestic goddess, associated in particular with that most
characteristic task of the ancient housewife, spinning. In Sweden, the “belt”
in the constellation Orion is called Friggerock– Frigga’s spindle. Since her
cart is drawn by two rams (viz. “Freyja of the ram-cart” would equal Frigga),
one assumes she is spinning wool, just as Horn and Holda spin flax. Like
Freyja, she also has a falcon plumage, but Frigga’s sacred animal was the
goose. In Germany she was worshipped as the goddess Holda or Bertha and was the
original Mother Goose.
