## Content

Last week the Sanctuary published a post about our liturgical structure, including a glimpse of our development processes. Among our favorite devotional hymns is this tune composed and recorded by Birka Skogsberg, a council member of Samfundet Forn Sed Sverige (Forn Sed Sweden) and a longtime supporter of the Sanctuary. We plan to publish more of our devotional work for Skade (aka Skaði, Skadi, or Skadhi), Whose guidance has shaped the Sanctuary's development for 13 years. We invite interested readers who are unfamiliar with Her to dive into the mythological sources.
