Thank Frigg it’s Friday
November 13, 2009 | Miscellany
Frigg, the Norse goddess of love and fertility, was banished to a mountaintop and proclaimed a witch once Christianity was embraced by Norse and Germanic tribes. There she lost her shit, and once a week she met with eleven other witches, and the devil to plan out the fateful misfortunes for the coming week. The name Frigg eventually morphed into the English word Friday. You can likely do the math for the rest of it.
