Īccording to the Norwegian manuscript "Heimskringla", Skadi had divorced with the Vanir Njörðr and remarried with Odin.Īlthough she is unmarried in this work, it should be noted to the degree that it would be deeply engraved in posterity. She was a master of hunting in the mountains and was also told to be a master of skiing. Skadi is also called Öndurguð (Ski God) as well as Öndurdís (Ski Goddess). According to Prose Edda's "Sayings of Grímnir", she was the daughter of "the Abominable Jötun Þjazi", and lived in the old palace in Realm of Þrymheimr along with her father.Īfter being married to the Nordic Gods, she was named "the Beautiful Bride of the Gods". Skadi's name derives from Old Norse and means "one who scars". This side of Skadi should rather be expressed as "the Skadi with some of Scáthach's nature" than dark Scáthach. The Nordic Jötun who originated from the Celtic hero Scáthach, the mountain goddess───many of Skaði's characteristics are revealed. She, who, existed in the Lostbelt as "Scáthach-Skaði", has a particularly high mixing rate with Skaði, hence she has many attributes of the Bride of Gods. In this work, Scáthach and Skadi are not perfectly equal in existences, but they mutually influence each other and the term "mixed up" is used. Ī Servant originating from the Scandinavian Lostbelt.Ī "completely different person" compared to the Scáthach from the common history of man, recognized as the only god in the Lostbelt, whose nature is closer to being a queen. Scáthach-Skadi was a fusion of Skadi and Scáthach brought about by Odin in the Norse Lostbelt during Ragnarok, before he died while sealing Surtr. 2.1.1 Götterdämmerung: The Eternal Ice-Flame Century.
