Greeting’s heathens and witches,

Welcome to the Horn and Cauldron podcast…

For our 103 series, we are exploring a specific area of lore or practice related to each Sabbat. In this episode, we are discussing The Wild Hunt. It is a group of ghostly figures pursuing an entity, which is either another ghostly entity, or hapless humans out at the wrong time.

In this episode, we discuss the who, what, and why of The Wild Hunt. The various leaders of the Hunt, and especially Odin’s role within the hunt. We tell a tale related to Odin and the Wild Hunt and recommend some reading material to further your practice.
