Eine E-Mail der besonderen Art ging letzte Woche in meinem Postkasten ein: Ein Wintergruß an Asentr.eu. Untermalt mit stimmungsreichen Eindrücken einer verschneiten Gebirgslandschaft, in der DAN im frühen Morgengrauen Skadi ein Winterblót widmete.

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

Wake Skadi von Hagalaz‘ Runedance
