Further Information

Norse Mythology

  • Fulla is one of the Ásynjur. She is Frigg's hand-maiden, and her duties are to carry her casket, to look after her shoes and be privy to her secrets. She is a virgin with flowing hair and wears a golden band around her forehead. Her name is used as a kenning for 'gold' and for 'woman'. It is uncertain if she is an independent deity or identical with Freyja or Frigg. [1]
