Frigg in Otan Lore[edit]

Frigg is the wife of Woden and mother to Thor and Baeldaeg. When it was foretold that Baeldaeg would be killed, Frigg walked the forests and made concords with all the things in nature to promise never to harm her son. Alas, in her thoroughness she had overlooked the simple mistletoe, perhaps considering it harmless.

Meanwhile, the trickster Loki fashioned a spear (or possibly arrow) of mistletoe which was hurled at Baeldaeg at a game during a feast. The arrow pierced his heart sending Baeldaeg to the underworld. Frigg, in her unmatched love, did not answer this sad event with spite or revenge. She raised up the mistletoe as a symbol of love. To this day lovers kiss under mistletoe and potion makers use it liberally in their philters of love.
