Skadi. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

Oh dear Goddess with the piercing blue eyes,
that mirror the icy depths of the mountains.
You are the great huntress of the
uncontrollable forces of nature and of the wilderness.

Daughter of the giant Thiazi.
Your father was very dear to you.
'Shining bride of the gods'
is how Odin described you,
well before you became his second wife.

You who control the ice, snow
and the cold.
Your power lies in your balance of all things.
Your love of the mountains and all that is untamed.

Skathi, a moon of the planet Saturn adorns your name.
For you are the Goddess of timeless charm
and the burning flame.
