[b]Skádi and Mjöla[/b]

In Öspaín shamanism, Skádi and Mjöla serve as the twin gondoliers of the sun and moon. In myth, each day they ferry the celestial bodies in their arcs, ensuring that the sun sets and the moon rises. Neither goddess has a particular affiliation with either body---oftentimes, they trade places, growing weary of their time in the light or rejecting the lunar darkness. In runic syllabary, they are represented as a circle broken through the center, one continuous entity, not two separate mythic figures. Each day at dawn in shamanistic communities, the shaman arises and presents "sunbones"---reindeer or fish bones inscribed with the runic sigil---to the east, whose rattling ensures that the goddesses wake at their oars.
