Skadhi

Hail Skadhi, keen-witted daughter of Thiazi!

Steel-eyed goddess, fair-browed etin-bride,

bow-woman who strikes swiftly, surely,

with power and precision. Mountain-woman,

friend of wolves, whose distant howls bring comfort

and solace, who joined with the Aesir

not from need but from desire, for always

could bright Skadhi stand alone and prevail.

Peerless woman, strong of bow-arm, swift of shaft,

of worth and honor you know much. Hail Skadhi!

Skadhi

Bright-eyed Skadhi, daughter of the mountain-giant,

child of the snow and ice, wood-roaming goddess,

firm of footing, firm of purpose, firm of will.

We welcome you, we welcome your strength, we welcome

your season. Skadhi of the cold, shrill winds, the darkened

skies, the frozen earth, Skadhi of sharpened shafts

and feathered flights, stout-armed bow-woman, sure

of hand and sturdy of heart. Grant to us a keen eye

and a steady hand, grant to us full freezers

and safe journeys. Hail to Skadhi! Hail winter's maid!
