Wake Skadi





In the winter mountains high,
Where avalanches roar and
frozen lakes sigh
The sough of the wind to hear
The howl
of the wolves sweet tune to her ear
Wake Skadi, come
patroness
Guide me through your crystal
woods

Silvery goddess of the snow,
Your shining
beauty melts the cold
Dress me in your white
shawl
Kindle my fierce passions
Wake Skadi, proud
northern giantess
I invoke your strength

Mistress
of the hunt,
Raise the spirit of freedom
Led your
sisters into the chase,
Arouse their untamed nature
Wake
Skadi; light the flames of courage,
Wake your sisters'
will to fight

Sister of wolves,
Seek your
companions
You heard the call of the wild
I summon your
instinct
Wake Skadi, defend your kind
Guard them from
the hateful hand of the blind
