Editing Fulla (section)

===''Poetic Edda''===
In the prose introduction to the ''Poetic Edda'' poem ''[[Grímnismál]]'', Frigg makes a wager with her husband—the god [[Odin]]—over the hospitality of their human patrons. Frigg sends her servant maid Fulla to warn the king [[Geirröðr|Geirröd]]—Frigg's patron—that a magician (actually Odin in disguise) will visit him. Fulla meets with Geirröd, gives the warning, and advises to him a means of detecting the magician:
