On this episode of The Maine Volva, Hilda returns with the 5th myth of this series: For Skirnis. It is a tale rife with unpleasantry and ill-intent, not suitable for all listeners. If you find yourself in a similar situation, or any situation which could bring you harm, like Gerth, please reach out for help. There are better things for you on the horizon than being trapped. You deserve far better than that. Follow Hilda on Instagram for more Norse content and updates on podcast episodes.
