So what do we think? Are Freya and Frigg the same Goddess?
🇷🇺СЛАВА МАТЕРИ РОССИИ🇷🇺
Curiouser & curiouser! I don't know
yes definitely
No, Frigg was an Asa goddess and the mother of Balder and Freya was a Vana goddess, originally one aspect of a fertility deity (she was the human fertility and her twin Frej was the fertility of the land and crops).
Frigg is the queen of the Asar and Odin is the king, but they lived a part and you have to realize that couples of the ruling class in this period didn’t have the same relationship as what is expected of a Greek/Roman/Christian couple. Women from a mighty family who married a powerful man was not a meager wife, she had a lot of status on her own, as men would be away a lot on travels. Frigg is not Freya, but Frigg is also a powerful goodness and people today are so used to there just being room for one powerful woman 🤷♀️
But Odin and Freya had a relationship since she taught Odin about Sejd/magic, which would involve sex since that is an aspect of fertility, prosperity and power (and not a sin as for Christians).
I asked this question to "VikingsReact" today on Twitch, and they gave me the first clear answer I've had to this question in a very long time. According to them, Freya and Frigg/Frigga may have started out as the same Goddess, but certainly by the time of the Viking Age, they have become two completely separate Goddesses (possibly earlier). I also asked them if they felt Frigg/Frigga and Freya survive Ragnarok. Their answer was they felt Frigg/Frigga might survive, but it was less likely that Freya would survive. Their reason being that Freya is the commander of the Valkyries, and because the Valkyries take part in the final battle of Ragnarok, Freya would more than likely be out there leading them into battle.
Friday is a day dedicated to her. The name Friday means "The day of Freya".

where did you get that info??
@@anaabines4105 In Germany we say Freitag. Meaning Friday. Which ultimately means the day of Freya. Same like Tuesday means Tyrstag (Deinstag), the day of Tyr, or Thorstag was Thursday, the god of thunder AKA Thor . Mittwoche used to be known as Odinstag, Wedensday. Its actually pretty obvious.
Thor disguised as Freya, Loki being impregnated by a horse... I didn't know germanic people had a sense of humour!
Haha yeah Norse mythology has some great tales
@@DarokTheMaul Thankyou for the explanation. I know very little of norse mythology, being a mediterranean girl. I grew up with Apollo and Artemis being my imaginary friends :)
@@DarokTheMaul Oh no, not at all. I love learning new things. And I don't know why I find norse mythology so difficult for me to learn

As a fan of all kinds of folklore and mythology and someone who does a lot of research, I cannot help but point out the similarities between Freya and Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of the heaven, and is herself associated with love, sex, beauty, war and also political power. The latter is also known as Inanna, Astarte and was probably an influence to the depiction of Aphrodite.

I have a deep reverence and love for Freya, who is one of the most fascinating goddesses I have researched. Thank you for this video.
Have heard about these mythologies in other channels, but still would like to hear your narration as well. Subscribed your channel just now.

I love your videos about Greek mythology so much and I love knowing more bout them by watching these videos ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I stumbled upon your channel a few days ago and already watched all of your videos, because I'm really interested in mythology. Since I ran out of videos on your channel quickly, I decided to try some other channels too... What should I say? Thank god you're out there! Most of the others are just plain boring! Listening to you, you seem to really enjoy all these stories, trying to share the joy with others and I really appreciate that! The others sound like typical bored history teachers, reading everything straight out of a textbook.. Thank you so much for your hard work and keep it up please! :)
Wow, thanks for your kind words and glad to have you here!

She's not a God she's a Goddess there's a difference with respect.
My little brother has my account he thinks he knows everything but he's mental because he got r*ped by his great uncle who kidnapped him
Just subscribe this channel.. I can't wait it took me this long to find it 🥺
Welcome :)
4:50 ok so the thing is I'm a non practicing hindu ( since I'm more attracted to the non- dualism/ Advaitism and samkhya/ numerical philosophies within Hinduism) but these types of statements of accusing goddesses of different religions sometimes p*sses me off since in my religion too goddesses like Parvati and Sita ( Avatar of Lakshmi) who are extremely renowned in hindu lore were also accused of infidelity numerous times although none of those accusations could be backed by hard evidences. Which made me sceptical of the accusations against Freyja/ Frigg as well. And doing a bit of research I could only get a couple of incidents that have some weight as accusations. 1) In Sörla páttr, a short, late 14th century narrative from a later and expanded version of Oláfs saga Tryggvasonar' found in the Flattyjarbōk, Freya was accused by Loki of getting intimate with four dwarves for a special golden necklace and by stealing from her in her sleep Loki proved her infidelity to Odin on which Odin gave her a very peculiar punishment which could be undone by a 'Christian man' only! 😂 As you can see this is a text from a time where Christianization has already started otherwise why would a supreme god of some other religion would promote a propaganda for a rival religion, right? This one is quite self explanatory. Other than that in this text also mentioned Frigg as Odin's concubine/ betrothed not wife. So the question of infidelity doesn't hold that much of a strong ground. 😂Lol
2) In Lokasenna, a poem in the poetic Edda, Loki accused every Norse goddesses of committing adultery once or more in their lifetime for which Feyja confronts him and suggests that Loki is trying to avert everyone's eyes off his misdeeds by making the goddesses look like villains which ensues an aggressive exchanges between the two. In the process Loki accused Feyja of being an object of 'every living being's' fancy within the Asgard and beyond and also having incestuous relation with Freyr, her brother which Njordr, her father laughingly dismissed and accused Loki of being a pervert for his weird offsprings. Again LOL 😂.
So as you can see most allegations against Feyja are just as bad and baseless as they are against Parvati and Lakshmi. Hell sometimes I wonder if there were other promiscuous gods besides Zeus and Aphrodite.

this video it made me realise the MLBB from freya, the story from this video and in ML she says, to protect her two daughters she, i remember it clearly
czcams.com/video/lhN7ATQNXTI/video.html
Everything else in my and others research indicates that frigga and Freya were two different people
Thats my name!!! I use my dad account bc I'm young!
Here follow my opinions as one who adheres to vanatrú;
Freja and Frigga are not the same deity
Nor are Odr and Wodan
Frejr is not a possible twin; 100% her twin
Völvas in real life were/are obstetrician-gynecologists, psychologists and Apothecaries (chemists) who also provided pallative care and death care
(Edit; spelling)
The funny is Loki got pregnant.

Freya must be similar to Athena
0:01 Karen Gillan.
Stuff are missing.. I rather the Jon Solo version he atleast tried.. and no lies or bias
Jokes on them! She could have made the wall herself, which is the point
She probably didn't tell them, though! Lol
Freya and her husband were kept separate it was not by choice
It's pronounced "yotnar." The j makes a y sound, like in German.

Пожалуйста иди лесом от сюда! Твой великорусский шовинизм в стиле copy-paste уже всех достал!
"Freya" is derived from "Hurrian"/ "Phrygia" ...for your information
