Join us at 2:00 p.m. as we pay tribute to Skaði, great huntress and ward of Winter. The blot will be held at the Fews Ford picnic area of Eno River State Park. For directions to the Fews Ford part of Eno River Park, please click here.

This is the season of the Wild Hunt. Though the Hunt usually brings Odin to mind, there are goddesses who ride at its head as well. Skaði, the Great Huntress, reminds us that not all women are tending hearth and home in the winter -- some are off running with wolves.

Skaði was also a Jotun bride, wed to great Vanes Njord and Ullur, and, with the help of the Allfather, sired the line of Midgard kings in Norway. Perhaps this is why the Nordic region of Scandinavia bears her name.

For offerings, *non*-alcoholic beverages are appropriate (as the park is strictly alcohol-free), as are biodegradable offerings such as food. Songs and spoken poetry are also good.
