There is also a hypothesis that mythological Freya is actually Frigga, since Freya isn't found in Germanic myth.A being who is defined by love and compassion would be particularly desperate to prevent such an event from taking place. She knows that Baldur's death is more than just the loss of her beloved son, it's the beginning of the end of the world. Even with that in mind, her willingness to forgive Baldur is still quite likely to stretch one's suspension of disbelief, until you consider that Freya is familiar with Ragnarok.While she is often associated with love the same way Aphrodite was, that also includes unconditional love, as well as having traits of Frigga, the Goddess of Motherhood. The Witch being so loving and forgiving makes sense when you consider she is Freya, the Goddess of Love.One will then battle Thor and then be sent back in time (continuing to exist in a time travelling loop). Because the serpent has been sent far enough back in time to meet his own father as a child, this means that two world serpents will have to exist at the same point in time before Ragnarok. This must also mean the World Serpent, having been sent back in time from the time of ragnarok, will already exist in Midgard at the time of his own birth.Well, Mimir mentions in an idle conversation that the battle between Jörmungandr and Thor come Ragnarok will shake the World Tree so violently, it disrupts time-space and sends the World Serpent back in time before his birth. If Atreus turns out to be the Loki, that raises the question of how Jörmungandr exists, if he ends up fathering Jörmungandr in this interpretation anyway.The Jotunns might be doing the same thing. In real life, It is a common practice to use the name from prophetic predictions, such as Mahdi and Meitreya.Atreus' other name, Loki, which is the supposed identity of Jörmungandr's father, made much sense when we remember that in the norse myth there are multiple giants using the name Loki such as Uthgard-Loki and Logi (representation of fire).Frigg and Freya are considered to have been originally the same goddess that for some reason became two in the scandinavian offshoot of the Germanic religion.
For example, Tyr is responsible for Odin's kinder traits, which is fitting since he is hypothesized to be the original Top God in Germanic religion due to his name's etymology being shared with Zeus and other heads of pantheons. A lot of the stranger interpretations of the Norse gods make sense if you consider the history beyond Norse mythology and its Germanic and older Indo-European roots.
