Also called Saga, the seeress.
Their story
The Grímnismál says that at Sökkvabekkr, the sunken bank, cool waves flow over, and there Odin and Sága drink every day, glad, from golden cups. That single verse, and Snorri's mention of her among the goddesses, is almost all we have.
Their day
Wednesday. In modern practice, she is often honoured on Wednesday, since the Grímnismál says she drinks with Odin every day.
