Magical Love in Modern Times
Hey, Heathens. It's time for another THORSday posts. Like the FRIGday posts, these are posting at least a week after a write them in order to give myself more time for writing while keeping them on their daily theme.

For day 7 of the 30 Days of Deity Devotion, we're covering all the names, epithets, etc. regarding Frigg. This took a really long time to do for such a short post, not just because I've been immensely busy but because these were really hard to dig up.

For day 5 of "30 Days of Deity Devotion", we're outlining Frigg's family tree.
"Yeah, well," says Frigg, "Your son is rude and inhospitable."
