summary: The passage lists attendants of Frigga and their functions, narrates Gefjon’s
acquisition of land from King Gylfi and the formation of Seeland and Lake Mälar,
describes Gefjon’s link to the Danish royal Skioldungs, describes Eira, Vara,
Vör, and Snotra, and compares Frigga with the Southern German goddess Holda, who
presides over weather, weaving, and the gift of flax. It then begins a Tyrolean
story in which a peasant shepherd pursuing a chamois reaches a glacier doorway
on a mountain.

comparison_claims: medium
notes: Literal extraction is strong because the passage is explicit. Motif labeling
is partly interpretive, especially for afterlife mapping, mystical quest, and
weather etiologies. Only one comparison claim is included because the passage
itself explicitly compares Holda-like goddesses with Frigga.
