The Wild Hunt: Storm, Spirit & Shadow

Across the landscapes of Northern Europe, tales have long been whispered of a spectral host riding through the night sky — a procession of hunters, spirits, and otherworldly beings moving between the realms of the living and the dead. Known as The Wild Hunt, this mysterious phenomenon appears throughout Germanic, Scandinavian, and broader European folklore, carrying with it themes of transformation, omen, ancestral connection, and the thinning of the veil.

Join us for a lecture of exploration of the Wild Hunt as we journey through its historical roots, cultural variations, and modern interpretations. We will explore how we can use the wild hunt in winter rituals and traditions as well as honor its deeper meaning.
