Frigga spinning the Clouds
Illustrator: J. C. Dollman
Frigga was goddess of the atmosphere, or rather of the clouds, and as such was represented as wearing either snow-white or dark garments, according to her somewhat variable moods. She was queen of the gods, and she alone had the privilege of sitting on the throne Hlidskialf, beside her august husband. From thence she too could look over all the world and see what was happening, and, according to the belief of our ancestors, she possessed the knowledge of the future, which, however, no one could ever prevail upon her to reveal, thus proving that Northern women could keep a secret inviolate.

Myths of the Norsemen From the Eddas and Sagas
By H. A. Guerber, London, 1909
Each day of the seven day week held a special significance to a god. Sunday was the day sacred to the Sun, Monday the Moon, Tuesday Tyr, Wednesday Odin, Thursday Thor, Friday Frigga, and Saturday Loki. The name of each day sounds fairly similar to its corresponding god, with the exception of Saturday, which is often mistakenly assumed to be named for the Roman god Saturn.
Saturday, the final day of the week, was originally known as Laugardag (formed from Loki’s name, but it translates to wash-day). When adapted to English, the day did in fact maintain its connection to Loki. The word Saturday is based on Sataere (the thief in ambush). This is simply another one of Loki’s names, used when referring to Loki as a god of agriculture (each of the gods presided over several different aspects of the universe, and Loki was no exception). So, although few know of it, the final day of the week is still named for Loki.
Incidentally, I’ve seen a lot of campaigns online prompting people to begin calling Saturday “Lokisday”. Most people have no idea Saturday is named after Loki, so Loki’s significance to the day is forgotten. This campaign to call Saturday Lokisday seeks to reinforce Loki’s connection to the day. This is an interesting idea, and I will definitely attempt to use Lokisday as often as I can remember.
Toddler Thor is helping to wash Loki. He is very careful not to put soap in the baby’s eyes, just like Frigga told him.
Loki and Frigga
I am super into mythology right now, and out of all kinds of mythology, Norse is definitely my favorite!! This myth in particular describes how Thor has to dress up as his mom, Frigga, in order to retrieve his hammer from a giant. Loki decides to accompany him as a bridesmaid to watch the whole event unfold.

Happy Mother’s Day
A Marvel Humour ’s admin asked me to draw a Loki to put in a T-shirt… I wanted a Loki T-shirt for myself too so I drew this based on a cut scene from Thor: the dark world!
Frigga says “Does all this make you feel better? Cast enough illusions and you risk forgetting what is real.”
Loki replies “Precisely”
and kibbi drowns in the feels.

Frigga : Technically, son, I haven’t lied to you. I’ve always maintained that the stork brought you home, and the stork is what I call your father in bed.
Loki : That’s another piece of traumatising information I received today.
