Wake Skadi

A tribute to Skadi, a giantess Goddess, ruling especially over mountains, wilderness, winter, revenge, knowledge, damage, justice, righteous anger and independence. It is said that she gifted hunters with the bow and the skill to use it. The scythe, wolves and venomous snakes are sacred to her. Also sacred to her are skates, skis and snowshoes. She often did her hunting while on skis. All of Scandinavia is named after the Goddess Skadi, and she is said to dwell in the high snow-covered mountains there. Set to the song “Wake Skadi“ by Hagalaz’ Runedance. Lyrics In the winter mountains high, Where avalanches roar and frozen lakes sigh The sough of the wind to hear The howl of the wolves sweet tune to her ear Wake Skadi, come patroness Guide me through your crystal woods Silvery goddess of the snow, Your shining beauty melts the cold Dress me in your white shawl Kindle my fierce passions Wake Skadi, proud northern giantess I invoke your strength Mistress of the hunt, Raise the spirit of freedom Led your sisters into the chase, Arouse their untamed nature Wake Skadi; light the flames of courage, Wake your sisters’ will to fight Sister of wolves, Seek your companions You heard the call of the wild I summon your instinct Wake Skadi, defend your kind Guard them from the hateful hand of the blind
