Skadi in pop culture
- Skadi is a Norse goddess of snow and winter who is associated with mountains
hunting, and tools of survival in the snowy wastes. She appears in the Poetic Edda, the Prose Edda, Heimskringla, and the stories of the skalds. Her name comes from Old Norse skaði, meaning "harm," and the Germanic skadus, meaning "shadow." One theory suggests that Scandinavia was named in her honor.
