Wotan's wife, goddess of Marriage. The representative of orthodox morality. Her fundamentally conservative cast of mind cannot grasp the radical intentions of her husband. If the creation of a new race flies in the face of the conventional bonds of marriage, it is not for her. Stern and inexorable, she forces wotan to abandon his new ideas and to uphold the cause of right as she, with her narrow outlook, view it.
Righteous indignation is the victor.
Foremost of the female Vanir or fertility goddesses. Her brother is Freyr. The golden apples of youth are in her keeping. Her gift of the golden apples is essential to the gods' immortality. She is temporarily sacrificed to Wotan's and Fricka's lust for money and power.
