The Sleeping Almanac
Skadi, the Cold Mountain Bride · Norse Mythology Sleep Story
The voice you hear is the creator's own. He cloned it from recordings of his own voice, so every story is told in his voice. If you enjoy falling asleep to it, follow the show so each new story arrives on its own, and leave a rating on Apple Podcasts so other people can find it.
Tonight, a giantess walks down out of the cold mountains to demand the gods make right what they have broken. She comes alone. She comes armed. And she will not leave until she has chosen a husband by his feet.
This is the story of Skadi, the goddess of winter, of skis, of bows, of the high cold country. The story of her father killed by the gods. The story of her quiet impossible bargain. The story of a marriage that did not work, and a goddess who walked herself home.
Settle in. Lower the lights. Goodnight.
EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE
Sources tonight from Skáldskaparmál, Gylfaginning, and Lokasenna.
Goodnight, dear listener. Goodnight.
