Hail Skaði

To the Lady of the Frost.

Hail Skaði!

High upon your mountain home

where wolves freely roam.

Hail Skaði!

The wind in your hair,

snowy white, divine and fair.

Hail Skaði!

Wolven heart, the howling moon

cries your feral croon.

Hail Skaði!

Winter soul, black as night,

showered in the northern lights.

Hail Skaði!

Who refused the fairest seas

and chose; cold, but free.

thank you for introducing Skadi or Skaði to me .. she seems a rare beauty .. exciting running with the wolves ;) i had to read up a bit on her .. wow! she ends up marrying Odin!!! and she bow hunts and skis .. go figure right .. a Norse goddess that skis ;) enjoyed the read and education .. strong couplets and natural rhyming says i!

You are very welcome! Go out and buy some mythology and folktale books, it's always such a vivid, and beautiful journey.

Not only does she ski, but she has a sled that is pulled by wolves. How awesome is that?
