Skagul or Skögul (battle) was a valkyrie. She filled Odin's horn with mead, and her name was used in several kennings to denote "war", such as Skögul's wind and Skögul's storm. The kenning Skögul's shirt meant "chainmail".
- Sá hon valkyrjur
- vítt um komnar
- görvar at ríða
- til Goðþjóðar:
- Skuld hélt skildi,
- en Skögul önnur,
- Gunnr, Hildr, Göndul
- ok Geirskögul;
- nú eru talðar
- nönnur Herjans,
- görvar at ríða
- grund valkyrjur.
Voluspa.
