In the course of an exchange with @la_Voie_du_Nord and @Wotan’s_Armée, we delved into the delicate question of the identity of Frigg and Jörd, sparked by a remark from @The_Frithstead asserting that these two figures from Norse mythology were one and the same.
No, Frigg and Jörd are not the same.
However, Jörd and Erda refer to the same divine entity, with Erda being her name in ancient continental traditions and Jörd in the Norse and Eddic traditions.
Jörd represents the earth goddess and embodies and symbolizes matter.
Whereas Frigg is associated with the Sky.
Of course, they are both feminine, but Frigg represents the spiritual dimension into which Wotan seeks to integrate, presenting an obvious erotic analogy. As for Jörd, looking into the etymology of her name, it’s clear she embodies the earthly dimension into which Wotan seeks to integrate, while making back-and-forth journeys between his lovers. Thus, with Frigg, he begets Baldr, the incarnation of joy, happiness, and all that follows.
From his union with Jörd comes Thor, representing the principle of the Übermensch, the man connected to the Earth, but who from it can rise to the sky.
There are two dimensions.
We thus observe two dimensions: the strength and the superhuman aspect embodied by Thor, and maintaining a heart full of joy, in the image of Baldr.
You take two plates parallel to each other, one that is flat on the table, one that is levitating, and thereby with a ping-pong ball bouncing between the two.
The ping-pong ball represents Wotan navigating between his lovers, and us navigating between our spiritual and material dimensions and seeking to build Fensalir in the midst of marshes. And Fensalir is the spiritual dimension anchored in the terrestrial.
They are not at all the same, but what is interesting is that when we depict Yggdrasil as the Tree of Life, Gotheim equals Erda1 (1 = 10), because in reality, it’s the same thing, the material world and the physical incarnation of the spiritual dimension.
And the essence is to find as much pleasure in the arms of Frigg as in the arms of Jörd.
Finally, Frigg is a broader aspect of the divine feminine. She is the Form, the form of the universe, of manifested reality, the great Web. That is why she is the reigning goddess of the starry sky.2 In a sense, she encompasses all other goddesses.
Some will claim that Jörd/Erda represents the material version while Frigg embodies the metaphysical version. Metaphysical, in that she encompasses creation in a broader sense than the physical universe; she symbolizes the great Wheel of souls. The same « being » manifesting at different degrees of materialization, one being the matter and the other, the principle, thus forming the two extremes.
But I would answer that they are precisely 2 different faces of the divine.
Moreover, in the enumeration of the Ásynjur in the Gylfaginning, all of Frigg’s followers (including Freyja) represent feminine qualities. Frigg being the perfection that cumulates all these aspects at once.
And Jörd, with her Jötunn ancestry, daughter of Nótt and Ánarr, is she as dark as some want us to believe, or is she not more than a Sardinian?
And Frigg, mainly reminds us that she is the form into which Wotan includes himself and thus, Fensalir is the form into which Wotanism includes itself. But, what do we really want? We want a VIP square for the adherents of the 14 words: we want to build Fensalir: to build exclusive spiritual apartments for our people and their descendants.
In conclusion, Frigg is the infinite. As it is said: « the highest conception of the Divine that the human mind can reach and Jörd is conversely the finite, what is material. The Earth (Jörð) was his daughter (his creation) and his wife (his spouse). With her, he made his first son, who is Ása-Þórr.
