What Is THE WILD HUNT? (and why are so many afraid of it?)

Description

Ride-or-die gods, ghostly hounds, and a sky full of storm riders... this is the untamed legend of the Wild Hunt.From Odin’s furious host to Wales’ soul-snatching Cŵn Annwn, discover why medieval Europe slammed its shutters when horns echoed overhead. Centuries of winter fears, shamanic flights, and church warnings fused into one unstoppable myth: a phantom army tearing across the night. In this episode, we trace the Hunt’s deep roots, its many leaders - Odin, Gwyn ap Nudd, Herne the Hunter - and the way it still rides through paintings, poems, and pop culture today.
