Frige redirects to this page. Is this an alternative spelling, or a mis-spelling? If the former then it should be listed on this page. --HappyDog 22:35, 8 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Yes, I redirected Frige to this page. It is reasonable to do so since Frige was the Anglo-Saxon version of Frigga or Freya, in the same way as Woden was the A-S version of Odin. If anyone has information about Frige that neatly distinguishes her from Frigge, they should create a page for her alone. Waiting for that to happen, I have added the form Frige to the page.--Wiglaf
- OK - I thought it probably was but I wasn't certain enough to make the change myself. Cheers. -- HappyDog 16:48, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Anyone have a source on the "Vili and Ve" thing? I've never heard this before, and Odin's two brothers don't seem to have any significance after the creation of the world.
- Regarding the story about Vili and Ve: It's in the Yngling Saga (part of the Heimskringla), and there is also a reference to it in the Lokasenna.
[edit] Orion's belt
I'm Norwegian, and I've never heard Orion's belt being called Friggerock (or anything like it). It's most definitely knowns as "Orions belte".--Unclevortex 12:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- Per Grimm's Teutonic Religion, it is (or was) Friggerrock in Swedish. Can you confirm or deny? Crypticfirefly 03:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
