1/6

The following communication with the jǫtunn-goddess Skaði differs from the previous shared communications in a few respects. First, the style is noticeably more terse, almost laconic. This could be due to the nature and personality of the goddess, or perhaps due to my energetically aligning with the more Æsiric-type spirits, whereas Skaði married into the Ꝩanir from an original jǫtunn heritage.

At any rate, she'll be found to elaborate much less than any of the other spirits 'interviewed' for this channel so far, even Aušrinė who was distant in a different way while still giving the impression of much to read between the lines. Skaði seems, for now at least, to answer much more literally.

Her answer to the second question about the nature of the jǫtnar gave some interesting visual/emotional impressions that were difficult to communicate in her more literally minimalistic style. The core of this would seem to be an idea of the jǫtnar as very much within or even to some degree embodying the Natural Order, even though right after this she speaks of 'being a law unto themselves'. What I think I get from this is a kind of personal and individual (perhaps we could say 'autarkhic') power that comes from aligning/harmonizing with Natural Law and being a kind of bastion or exemplar of Nature raised to a (super?)human level of consciousness. It also came through to me *very* clearly that when Skaði said "this world" she definitively meant the physical world (with its associated spiritual layers, but still all anchored around the physical realm in a way that's much different from the spirits I normally interact with in this way). I might *speculate* based on my experience of the runes that her statement there is specifically representative of the 'ice giants', but that is only speculation at this time.

In the question about Loki I used an exclamation mark in dictation: this was strictly to convey the impression of the heavy forcefulness behind the statement. It still did not feel really emotional in the same way that we humans would often read a sentence like that. Her mien was much more COLD than that, and seemed like a rightful consequence of Nature like a glacier or avalanche rather than an emotional reaction the way we would recognize it.

In the final question, the exclamation mark was similarly forceful but more approaching something familiar: it was a sense of triumph from exertion in the invigourating cold air. At this point, I think, I'll begin posting the individual questions and answers. Hopefully, you will find them helpful and interesting, even in their brevity.
