caption_attribution_description: English: Frigg und ihre Dienerinnen. Frigg and her servants. The one on the right is presumably Gná, whom Frigg sends on errands. Behind her is presumably her horse, Hófvarpnir. The one sitting beside Frigg must be Fulla, who protects Frigg's eski (box). The wand beside Frigg seems to be similar to the one she carries in Image:Frigg als Ostara.jpg.
context_page_description: In Norse mythology, Fensalir is a location where the goddess Frigg dwells. Fensalir is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the location, including that the location may have some connection to religious practices involving springs, bogs, or swamps in Norse paganism, and that it may be connected to the goddess Sága's watery location Sökkvabekkr.
