Incense of the day: Clary sage One of the most interesting goddesses in Norse tradition is Skadi, a powerful and independent deity. She came down from the mountains to marry Njord, the sea god. Their marriage was not successful, because neither was willing to live away from home. Skadi returned to the hills, where she went about on skis and hunted with a bow. Here is a poem to honour and invoke Skadi: Goddess of the wintry hills, Divine huntress, A goddess alone, Consort of the ocean god, Returned at last To your mountain home. Daughter of Thiazi, In eagle form, Mother of children To Odin born, She who is powerful In her own right, I honor your powers On this night. |
