Guest Post: Spirits In Motion – The Wild Hunt
www.eroticmythology.com
Find out the folkloric background of the Wild Hunt, who leads it, and what might await you if you happen upon it!

For whom it might concern: I wrote a guest article on the Wild Hunt in Central European folklore - one that tries to be a bit more nuanced than “The Wild Huntsman is really Odin in disguise!”.

EDIT: Gah, I thought I had included a link! It should be fixed now.

    There are a number of tales - Wild Hunt or otherwise - where there is an explicit mention of a “Wode”. I don’t think linking that to Wodan/Odin is too much of a stretch.

    Still, the connections to Hulda are far more numerous, which I find fascinating. I mean, in modern discussions you almost never hear of the Wild Hunt being led by a woman, yet I have encountered quite a few such tales.
