Duality of the Jötnar:

Ymir: Nothing, and Everything. The result of worlds colliding, creating the first being. Ymir came from a world of nothingness. He was one of the sole figures that came from Ginnungagap. That nothingness eventually became occupied by the dismembered parts of his body, after having been torn apart by the Aesir. Ymir went from occupying the Great Nothingness, to being everything that surrounds us: the mountains, the water, the clouds. 

Angrboda: The Giver of life, and the Taker of life. One of the foremost Jötuns, and the bearer of some of the other Gods. Angrboda descends from a violent tribe in myth, the Jötuns being notoriously troublesome, particularly for humans and the Aesir themselves. Blood often coats their hands, stains their teeth. Known life-takers. Yet, Angrboda has birthed many of the great Jötuns. From her, we have been given other beings of Duality. Their lives, their power, would not have come to being without her creation.

Jörmungandr: The Beginning and the End. The circular World Snake, who, in most depictions, has bitten his own tail. Serpents are given a bad rep in Christian interpretations of the myths, seen as destructive—bringers of (Christian-inspired, most likely) Ragnarök. But, it is well documented that our far ancestors revered Serpents, and recognized their relationship with life and death. Odin himself needed to take the shape of a snake to travel the Worlds. Their power was immense, and deeply spiritual. Jörmungandr can be interpreted as the World's Beginning and End, wrapped around our Realm in a never-ending coil, his head, the beginning, his tail, the end.

Fenrir: The Antagonist, and the Protagonist. Once a wolf-pup, the very thing that mankind so loves. Our faithful friends, dogs have long since been one of our greatest allies. Wolves are protectors, powerful, and with fur that is soft to the touch. But Fenrir grew too large, too powerful, and the Aesir began to fear him. Fear, as the myth portrays, can make people do bad things. Fenrir is chained, a sword forced into his jaws. A once faithful friend to a prisoner. Circling back to Ragnarök, Fenrir is set loose, seeking his revenge on the people who had ensnared him, having been made into the villain. 

Hel: Life and Death. Quite obvious, this one. Half her body is that of a rotting corpse—the state in which every living thing will eventually embody. The other half is a beautiful maiden, reflecting that of a woman in the prime of her life. Hel is the keeper of the Realm of the Dead, the one who we can presume to meet one day. Hel, the Realm, in myth, is a mirror-like reflection of what lies here—life seems to continue on as usual, though this time alongside our Ancestors. The Queen of Hel keeps things in order, keeping the Dead as such, and the living out. 

Skadi: Calm and Rage. The Goddess of Winter. If you have experienced the falling of snow, then you will know the quiet of it. The World seems to go silent as the flakes fall, the wind has died down, the animals are hidden away from the cold, no birds to be heard. Nature seems to settle in, and silence settles onto those who will listen. A prime time for hunting, particularly deer, known for their demure ways. Skadi occupies this land, treads the freshly fallen snow in silence, waiting for the right time to loose one of her arrows. But Skadi also knows rage, for that of her slain father. She storms into the home of the Aesir themselves, boots stomping, voice loud, demanding to be heard. A consuming force that doesn’t let you rest until the matter is settled. Only once appeased may the snow fall calmly again.

(A/N: Just a little thing I wanted to write. I've been doing my studying and meditating and was thinking about the Jötnar Tribe. UPG, I would like to clarify. Your experience with them might be entirely different :). )

Dear Skadi,

As I begin this new day,

I turn my thoughts to you, Lady of Winter.

Goddess of the snow-capped mountains,

Protector of the wild and untamed.

I pray for your presence and guidance,

That you may bless me with strength and resilience.

Grant me the endurance to face any challenges,

Just as you endure the harshness of winter.

Skadi, I ask for your wisdom and clarity,

Help me find my path amidst life's uncertainties.

Grant me the courage to pursue my dreams,

And the determination to overcome obstacles.

May your icy breath inspire me to be steadfast,

To stand tall in the face of adversity.

Guide my steps, O Goddess of the North,

As I navigate the ever-changing terrain of life.

Thank you, Skadi, for your eternal presence,

For the lessons you teach through winter's cold embrace.

May I honor you in all I do,

And find solace in your strength and beauty.

In your name, I offer this humble prayer.

Skadi, I praise you.

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!

i have a deep admiration for Skadi, and i hope to maybe be able to work with her in the future.

however she does seem a little intimidating and i'm not entirely sure how to approach the situation.

does anyone have any experience working with her?

Skaði, oh you of cedar and pine,

Skaði, oh you of wolves and wyverns,

Skaði, skiing down from the mountains with blessings abound.

Run away to the woods, my child,

Run away to the trees!

Crunch through the frozen snow

To forever be with me!

I’m just curious here. It’s been a while since I’ve had a god or goddess grab my attention and this time it’s Skadi. However, I’m not sure if it’s just because winter is coming up and we’ve been blasted with snowstorms that She’s been making an appearance or if she’s actually interested. So I’m curious with any Skadi follows, does she tend to show more in winter since it is Her season or might she actually be interested in gaining a new follower?

Oh Skadi, goddess of winter's might,

With icy breath and snow-clad height,

Your presence brings a chill profound,

As frost-kissed lands by your touch are bound.

In the realms where snowflakes dance and twirl,

You reign as queen, a wintry pearl.

With fur-clad cloak and gleaming spear,

You traverse the mountains without fear.

Your heart is strong, your spirit wild,

A huntress, both fierce and mild.

Through frozen forests, you roam free,

In search of solace and harmony.

The mountains bow before your grace,

As frost and ice adorn each space.

The howling winds, they sing your name,

Reverberating through the frozen terrain.

Skadi, protector of those who roam,

Guide us through winter's harshest tome.

Teach us resilience in the face of cold,

To find beauty in landscapes stark and bold.

Grant us endurance when days are short,

And courage when shadows distort.

Help us embrace the stillness within,

And find peace in the depths of snow and ice thin.

Oh Skadi, goddess of winter's might,

We honor you on this sacred night.

In your presence, we find strength anew,

And in your icy realm, we find our truth.
