Did you ever wonder where the word Friday came from? Friday is Freya's day.
Freya (Fria) is the Teutonic goddess of love, beauty, and fecundity (intellectual productivity and prolific procreation). She is identified with the Norse god Freya. She is leader of the Valkyries (maidens who chose heroes to be slain). She is confused in Germany with Frigg. Now we know where the recent 'Valkryie' movie with Tom Cruise got its title.
Frigg (Frigga) is the Teutonic goddess of clouds, the sky, and conjugal (married) love. She is identified with Frigg, the Norse goddess of love and the heavens and the wife of Odin. She is confused in Germany with Freya.
Old English is frigedæg "Freya's day" composed of Frige plus dæg "day"
Germanic is frije-dagaz "Freya's (or Frigg's) day"
Hmmm! One would think I could be more intellectually productive on Fridays, instead of putting out this Freyan and Friggin blather.
