Frisian mythology encompasses the traditional beliefs and stories of the Frisian people, who inhabit regions in the northern Netherlands and northwestern Germany. This mythology features a pantheon of deities, spirits, and legendary creatures, often reflecting the natural environment and agricultural practices of the Frisians. Key figures in Frisian mythology include Frya, the goddess of fertility and the earth, and Weda, associated with wisdom and fate. Many myths emphasize the importance of the sea, as the Frisians have a strong maritime culture, leading to tales of sea monsters and protective spirits that guard sailors and fishermen.
