Hail Skadi: A Song for the Huntress

by Jess Orlando

Skadi15 

Through snow She walks, with otherworldly calm

Her eyes flash dark in the eye of the storm

Skaði, we hail on this winter dawn

Skaði, we hail on this winter dawn

 

Through ice and rain and sleet and wind,

She walks the path and hears wolves howling

No fear in Her heart, No doubt in Her soul

Hail Skaði, bright Hail, Hail Skaði, this morn

 

Over crunching snow, She’ll pass

Through dark pines and mountain lakes of glass,

Stalking Her prey, Her bow held aloft

Hail Skaði , great huntress, Hail and Praise.

 

As evening falls, and the stars shine bright

As the winds blow true and the bonfires light

Skaði, alone, sails along the snows

O’er hills and through valleys, night crisp and close

 

Full dark of midnight, Mani in the sky

Winds whip over wasteland, ice reaches high

Skaði, She sleeps, in her bed of warm down

Peaceful, She keeps, at home in Her realm.

 

Hail Skaði, Skaði, we hail

Hail Skaði, Skaði, we hail

Ahhh....
