 Scholar Jesse Byock notes that the goddess Skaði is also associated with winter and hunting, and that the episode in "Volsunga saga" involving the male Skaði, Sigi, and Breði has been theorized as stemming from an otherwise lost myth.Scholar John Lindow comments that the episode in "Gylfaginning" detailing Loki's antics with a goat may have associations with castration and a ritual involving making a goddess laugh.Lindow notes that Loki and Skaði appear to have had a special relationship, an example being Skaði's placement of the snake over Loki's face in "Lokasenna" and "Gylfaginning."
