Tobi was a little confused, The Professor had first said, Frigg, and then said Freya, so he raised his hand and tried to cater to both sides, “There are differing opinions on Freya. Some people say that Freya and Frigg are the same goddess, while others are more picky. It could merely be a matter of better press. Freya was more popular in Norse Mythology than Frigg, but their attributes can get mixed in with each other, it’s possible that Freya and Frigg are names used interchangeably to refer to the Norse Goddess chiefly associated with Love. Assuming that’s the case, it was by no means her only association. While she did seem to have great ties with love, fertility and beauty, she also presdided over death, and war magic and prophecy, just as Odin did, and also wealth. Offerings to Freya, particularly done on a Friday, once known as Frigg’s Day, were said to bring incur her favour and bring prosperity on he who offered. She was strongly associated with cats, she had a chariot drawn by enormous cats” Tobi shuddered at the thought, “and Mistletoe was another.”
