Her husband was Odin, but he went under the name Od during his travels throughout the mortal world. Of all Norse gods and goddesses only Odin rivaled Freya when it came to magical abilities. She was the divine model of a Viking Age sorceress. It was said in one Old Norse poem that she went from house to house in the mortal world giving prophecies, chanting, and preforming all kinds of rituals for her human hosts.
Freya taught Odin much of what he knew when it came to magic. The other difference between the two woman was Odin was simply called Od in reference to Freya, but he was called Odin by Frigg.
She also slept with a slave at one point. Freya and Frigg were very popular with the woman during the Viking Age because of her connection to fertility.
Her love for Baldur was so strong that when he told her he was having dreams of his impending death, she went out into the world to get assurances from everyone and everything that no one would hurt her son.
Unfortunately, she did not get that assurance from mistletoe. Loki, the cunning and scheming god, used the opportunity to fashion a spear made of mistletoe, and when he tricked Hodr into throwing it at Baldur, it killed him. She agreed to release Baldur on the condition that everything and everyone in the world weep for him to prove that he really is so loved by all. Everyone wept except for one giantess, who was actually Loki in disguise.
There is another tale where Frigg was not entirely faithful to Odin. Upon his exile from Asgard, she carried on an affair with his brothers Vili and Ve. This had led to some debate over whether the distinct identities of Frigg and Freya have sometimes been merged throughout the myths, because this tale is something that Freya would have been more likely to do than Frigg.

Although Frigg was married to the god of wisdom, she was capable of outfoxing him and sometimes they agreed bets on certain things. Odin asked his clever wife for advice on many issues and although she never made predictions, she knew a lot about the future.
Despite being the goddess of marriage, Frigg was unfaithful to Odin on several occasions, including with his brothers. Frigg and Freyja are very like each other, and their functions are sometimes mixed up. As the Queen of the goddesses, Frigg has a group of women around her. Another attendant is Gna, who she sends off as a messenger. When Frigg wants to give someone protection, she sends the goddess Hlin, a name also given to Frigg sometimes. Skadi is a giantess, but became accepted by the gods of Asgard when she married the sea god Njord.
Heimdall stands guard at all times, and with his sharp vision and incredible hearing he can see for a hundred miles and hear the growing sounds of grass. Freyja knows the art of predicting the future — prophecy — and she teaches Odin this magical art. Balder is the son of Odin and Frigg, and with his friendliness, gentleness and wisdom, he is loved by everyone in Asgard.
