Now Skadi my friends was a Giant yep not a Goddess.So how pray tell did a Giantess become a Goddess?Well listen and I wil tell you the saga!
Skadi's Dad the Giant Thiazi went and pulled a dumb thing and kidnapped a Goddess! Opps wrong move now the sagas dont realy say wich one mind you but he did.The Gods neadless to say were PISSED! So they went and rescured the Goddess and in the process killed Thiazi!
Well this left Skadi alone as she had no other family and she donned her armour and picked up her bow and sword and went to make war against the Gods!
Well she walked up to the gate of Asgard and demanded vengence!Well Skadi wasnt a bad looking Giantess mind pretty hot looking even.So Odin himself came to the gate and asked how they could appease her and get off the hook for killing her dad.
She said I have two demands
1 make me laugh
2 I want a God as a husband since I have no faimly!
Well the Gods all tried to make her laugh but failed so it was Loki's turn and he made her laugh!Much to the surprise of all well how he do it you ask?
Well he tied hiself to a goat yeah but where well hmm around his Godhood if you will! so he got the goat to bolt and run fast and he screamd in pain and the rope broke and he fell on top of Skadi!
Yep this was a real belly laugh for her so part one was complete! and needless to say all the Gods made fun of Loki for his trick to get Skadi to laugh!
Now for part two her hubby!
Well odin had all the Gods line up in a row and Skadi was told she could pic one! But yep heres the but! She had to pick buy there feet as that would be the only part showing!Hmm now this was before Baldar died so Skadi said yes in a minute!
She was taken out of the room and the Gods got behind a curtain and she was called in.As she walked down the row she spotted the prettiest pair fo male God feet any one ever saw! Hmmm she thoguht these must be that hotties Baldars!
So she said I choice this one!
Well with much fanfare the curtain is raised and who was standing there not Baldar but Njörd the God of safe harbours! After they married there was some debate about whether they would live in his realm or hers. They decided to live nine days in her mountains and then nine days in his sea. After the eighteen days, the couple separated because they did not like each other’s domain.After awhile she married Ull the God of Winter she also had several kids some buy Odin some by Ull and at least one buy Loki.So things worked out for her in the end.
sidenote
All of Scandinavia is named after the Goddess Skadi, and she is said to dwell in the high snow-covered mountains there.
