In
Germanic mythology,
Fulla (
Old Norse, possibly "bountiful") or
Volla (
Old High German) is a
goddess. In
Norse mythology, Fulla is described as wearing a golden band and as tending to the
ashen box and the footwear owned by the goddess
Frigg, and, in addition, Frigg confides in Fulla her secrets. Fulla is attested in the
Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources; the
Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by
Snorri Sturluson; and in
skaldic poetry. Volla is attested in the "Horse Cure"
Merseburg Incantation, recorded anonymously in the 10th century in
Old High German, in which she assists in healing the wounded
foal of Phol and is referred to as Frigg's sister. Scholars have proposed theories about the implications of the goddess.
