Friday was named for the principal Norse goddess Frigg, who is also called Frigga, Freyja, and Freya. She is the Nordic Goddess of Spring and flowers, the patron goddess of Spring crops. The most beautiful of Norse Goddesses, she is the symbol of sensuality and patroness of all matters of love, fertility, and birth. Frigg is the giver of children. She loves music and nature, and is particularly fond of the elves (fairies).
Frigg was the wife of Odin and goddess of marriage and motherhood, time, weather, and destiny. She was the weaver of clouds, and she spun golden threads of sunlight on a jeweled spinning wheel. This wheel, a symbol of the whirling cosmos with its stars, can be seen in her constellation in the night sky, which includes Orion's belt. In her aspect as Freyja, she is the goddess of love and fertility, crops and birth, and has a special affinity for the elves. The rune Bjørk, or Boerc, pertains to Frigg. It represents healing, regeneration, and the atonement of past deeds. It rules the sound made by the letter 'B' in the English alphabet. The tree it corresponds to is the birch, but it may be compared to thorn as a polar opposite. Bjørk rules the number 2.
