MODERN MEAD INSPIRED BY ANCIENT GODS

A Mead of Sweet Elegance

Introducing Frigg, a divine mead named after the revered Norse Goddess Frigg, the embodiment of foreknowledge and wisdom.

Who was Frigg?

Frigg, often anglicized as “Frigga,” stands as the highest-ranking deity among the Aesir goddesses in Norse mythology. She is the beloved wife of Odin, the all-powerful leader of the gods, and the mother of Baldur, one of the most cherished gods within the Norse pantheon. Frigg’s role transcends that of a mere consort to Odin; she is a formidable goddess in her own right, embodying the aspects of love, marriage, fertility, and motherhood.

Her influence is deeply woven into the fabric of Norse cosmology, where she is revered as the Queen of Asgard and a sky goddess responsible for weaving the clouds. Frigg’s wisdom is profound, and it is said that she knows the fate of all beings, a testament to her ability to perform seidr—a form of Norse magic associated with shaping destiny.

Despite her exalted status, the surviving Norse texts offer only glimpses into her character and deeds. However, these fragments reveal a deity whose maternal instincts and protective nature made her a match for Odin himself. Frigg’s connection to Odin is mirrored across various Germanic cultures, where she is consistently portrayed as the wife of the local Odinic figure, highlighting her pan-Germanic significance.

Frigg’s essence is that of the archetypal matriarch, a goddess who presides over the hearth and home, safeguarding her family and those who seek her favor. Her presence in Norse mythology is a beacon of maternal strength, marital fidelity, and the sacred bonds of family.
