DEVOTIONAL PRAYER TO SKADI:

Listen to the howl of the wind, and embrace the brisk air lovingly.

Laugh when things look grim, under the twinkling Eyes of Thiazi.

So let Her be hailed the snow-haired Goddess Skadi.

Who hunts the rugged mountains on trusty skis.

May I honor You in these darker months, but also when day is bright.

May Your strength guide me when dim is the sun, and the ice and frost glitter white.

Hail Skadi!
