SKADI Initiation - Nordic Viking Ritual for hunt, independence and protection

Skadi is a goddess of great beauty and strength, with an unyielding spirit that matches the frozen tundras she calls home. Her presence is like a breath of fresh, crisp air on a winter morning, invigorating and full of life. Skadi embodies the fierce determination and resilience of those who live in harsh environments, and her unwavering courage serves as an inspiration to those who face challenges in their own lives.

In Nordic mythology, Skadi is often depicted as a huntress, with a bow and arrow in hand as she tracks prey through the snowy wilderness. Her sharp eyes and keen senses are unmatched, and her skill in the hunt is second to none. She is a goddess of strength and independence, teaching us to rely on our own inner power to overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.

Beyond her physical prowess, Skadi is also a goddess of wisdom and knowledge. She understands the delicate balance of nature and the importance of respecting the land and its inhabitants. She teaches us to honor the earth and all its creatures, and to find harmony with the natural world.

Skadi is a goddess of great complexity, with many facets to her personality and powers. She embodies the beauty and power of nature, the fierce independence and determination of the huntress, and the wisdom and balance of a true goddess. Those who seek her guidance and initiation are sure to be inspired by her strength, beauty, and grace.

According to the myth, Skadi was the daughter of the giant Thjazi, who was killed by the gods for his misdeeds. Seeking revenge, Skadi traveled to Asgard, the home of the gods, and demanded compensation for her father's death. As part of her compensation, Skadi was given the choice of a husband from among the gods. However, the gods arranged a test for Skadi to help her choose: they asked her to choose her husband based on his feet alone, without being able to see his face.
Skadi chose the feet of the handsome god Baldr, thinking that they belonged to her preferred husband, but when she discovered that she had been tricked, she was angered and demanded a divorce. However, the gods persuaded her to stay and allowed her to spend her time in the mountains, hunting and skiing.

As a goddess of the hunt, Skadi was seen as a protector of wild animals and the natural world. She was also associated with justice and revenge, and was invoked by those seeking retribution for wrongs done to them.

In modern times, Skadi is often honored by those who live in mountainous regions or who enjoy winter sports such as skiing or snowboarding. She is also revered by those who seek strength and independence, or who feel a strong connection to the natural world.

FAQ:
I’m a lifelong practitioner of the craft. My witchcraft draws upon ancient traditions from Scandinavia. I have a degree in prehistoric archaeology and therefore I use many of these ancient traditions that have been passed through generations. I’m combining this with the knowledge from the women from my mother’s site of the family, that have been “wise women” for as long as we have been able to trace back –to the 15th century.

Also, I work with the ancient, Nordic gods and goddesses. Depending on the ritual, I will call upon different entities to assist in the work being done.

I carry out most of my work in nature at sites known to have been used for rituals for thousands of years leading back to the Stone Age through the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Viking age and beyond. These places are known archaeologically because of findings of sacrifices and remains from spell work, and I use the same places so I can draw upon all the magic that is loaded in the air, the water and the earth. When I then do my spells, I can draw upon my own powers, the ancient powers and the spirits that have gathered there for thousands of years. I am blessed to be living in a place where these ancient sites are in our landscapes and people have been using them since the beginning of when humans first came here. These places represent the liminal space between our world and the other world and doing my magic in the old ways have been very powerful for myself and my clients.

That I work in this way also means, that I’m not performing your spell right after you purchase. (If someone else claims to perform your spell within an hour and just write you it's done, please consider the legitimacy of what they do). I always prepare all my spells careful, and I take information you provide me with into consideration. I ALWAYS SEND A PHOTO TO YOUR ETSY ACCOUNT WITH PROOF OF COMPLETETION.

My Magic works two ways. Firstly: I will clear all the block in your way. I then let the desired energy flow towards you and I call upon ancient powers to assist me, when I do my spells. Secondly: I need you to work with my magic and to keep an open mind. This means, that you will keep a positive attitude, that you will be patient and that you will trust in mine and the higher powers. Keep your intentions clear on what you desire. For a love spell for example, this means that my spell will start to work on the subject the minute the spell is cast. It is like when you set water in motion. At first, it runs slowly, but as time goes the water runs faster and faster. The person might start with thinking about you, and you start to show up in their dreams. Then the feelings start to grow and from here, it can still take a little while before they reach out and contact you. Don’t lust for immediate results, live your life and be confident that there are powers working in your favor.

So how long before the spells start to work? Some of my clients have had extremely fast results. Other times, results take longer to manifest.

But I also want you to remember, that just because a spell does not work right away, it does not mean that it's not WORKING: It is. Results can take days, weeks and sometimes even months to manifest. When you then suddenly get your heart’s desire, you realize that it was all working towards this all along.

I use sacrifices in my work. This is not done as in the old ways, but for prosperity spells for example, I will use coins and sacrifice them on your behalf into the holy water at the sites where I perform my spells. Give and you shall receive. In other spells, I will bury something into the ground, as this enhances the spell and makes it more powerful over time. When you offer something to the Universe, the earth, the water and the ancient gods, it will make the spells stronger. This has been done for thousands of years as the magic workers have always known the ways of sacrifice.

What you can expect to feel: You can feel lighter and more calm. Some of my clients have reported they could feel a tingling in their whole body the minute I started their spell. Others have felt a warm and positive energy as a blanket around them. When I do your spell, a dramatic amount of energy is sent towards you and because I only work with safe and good forces, there is nothing to be afraid of. My spells are all safe and will never bring harm to you.

It’s easy to set up a candle and say a few words, and sometimes this also can have a little effect. But I’m not into easy, I’m into things that work and therefore, before you order a spell from me, I want you to be completely sure that you want the outcome. It’s easier to set the Universe and all it’s powers into motion than it is to stop it when it’s already running. My magic is extremely powerful, and the results can also be extremely potent. This is also why I don’t offer spells for $5, as the energy put into these spells are most likely to reflect this price if they’re even performed at all.
