Wade
by Swain Wodening
Wade is most well known as the father
of Wéland. However, he is frequently mentioned in the Lore although
never in much detail. He plays a role in the tale of Hedinn and Hild in
Old Norse poetry. In these, he said to have loaned them his boat to
escape Hild's father. H.R. Ellis Davidson holds that he was originally
a sea giant, and other scholars seem to agree.
