Real great point. Maybe the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse are a group of the wild hunt in Christian belief, I think Hinduism has one of their own as well?
I feel like Tolkien may have based the black riders (Nazgul/Ringwraiths) on the Wild Hunt. They’re constantly on the move when they’re not commanding Orcs (either on horses or fell beasts) and hunt down the One Ring.
I thought this, too, as I watched. The descriptions of their appearance, or lack of, and their purpose is dang near identical. Pair that with Tolkien’s propensity for interpolating real world folklore into Middle Earth and I think it’s not far fetched at all.
the Wild Hunt remained even in christian folklore, as a sinister cadre of spectres that persecutes wrongdoers, Theoderich, king of the Ostrogoths, is told to have been carried away by the wild hunt and thrown inside a volcano, another story is contained in Boccaccio's Decameron, where some characters encounter the Wild Hunt, depicted as a sort of purgatory for sinners.
In Galicia there's the Santa Compaña: it's pictured as a procession of lost souls, rather than a wild ride, but if they'll carry you off if you're unlucky enough to cross their path.
Listening to your voice is so soothing. I can fall asleep or become less stressed out because of it. I was super anxious, like, 20 minutes ago. Now, I'm only slightly anxious.
My grandmother told me about Odin's hunt 40 years ago when I was a kid. Our family was in a cabin deep in a forest when there suddenly during the night were a great thunder all around us like an earthquake but without any shaking. It sounded like the earth cracked and trees were snapped. The weather was fine. This is a phenomenon in Scandinavia that isn't scientifically explained but many has heard it. Then my grandmother told a story about the forest nymph who had stole something from the gods and they were hunting her. She knew a lot of folklore. Another one I remember was about a dog with flames of fire coming from it's mouth and it threw itself in a well. When those who witnessed it looked in the well for the dog it wasn't there. By the way, when I read Stephen King's Pet sematary there was a similar description of that thunder phenomenon connected to Indian lore. Does anyone know anything about that or is it something he made up? Also when it's a regular thunderstorm we say that it's Tor fighting the giants.
Just yesterday I wished that you would have a video about the Wild Hunt, since it’s pretty well known in Slavic folklore. Was disappointed.. then this banger shows up in my notifications! Something wild has manifested and I’m glad it did. Cheers friend
Around 4 years ago.. +/-.. I was outside in my backyard while a massive rolling thunderstorm moved overhead for around 3-4 hours. It was literally constant purple, cloud to cloud lighting, non-stop the entire time, and didn't start raining much more than a mist until the 4th Hour! I immediately thought of The Wild Hunt.. and half expected to see Thor or Odin amidst those clouds. They looked like the train of an Endless Royal Robe maybe 500 or 600 feet overhead. It was Spectacular! &.. the Show is just Beginning 🌝!
Alain Douyon I'd agree with you if that were true.. but I have never needed chemical enhancements to see stuff others generally might not appreciate. No worries, mate! Lol!
In my country, there also exists a type of Wild Hunt, called the Hantu Pemburu or Spectre Huntsman, moving across the firmaments with his hounds, and brings disease wherever he goes. WW Skeat records this story in his book Malay Magic (1900).
I’ve heard these hunters every year for a long time now. Their names are Hunger, Isolation, Despair, and Fear. Just like particle physics, their likeness is variable once observed.
I was always told it was Woden or Wuotan, the cursed ruler of the Feenreich . He was cursed to inhabit 3 forms the Ruler, the Wanderer, and the master of the hunt. I was also told this was the basis for the zwerg king Oberon who later was turned into an elf and married off to tatanina in the Shakespeare works. Zwerg king in this case is not connected to Austri or any of the first 4. EDIT: I was also told that anyone caught in the path of the hunt had their spirit taken and were driven mad, acting as hounds for the hunt untill the curse was finally lifted.
That's where I originally heard of this. But I've seen things in real life too, growing up between Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama there are a lot of rural areas for creepy things to show up. Lol definitely teen wolf's most interesting story arc to me since alot of it is based on a Tennessee legend of the wild hunt.
In Italy, expecially in the north, the wild hunt was related to a set of far lights, also appearing in the sky. With them you would hear horses hooves and barkig dogs. The wild hunt will later be mentioned by Dante, Jacopo Passavanti, Boccaccio, and others, even if in a christian interpretation. The wild hunt, for christians, was also known as infernal hunt. In some places in the north of Italy this legend is still around, known as the "caccia selvaggia", literally "wild/savage hunt", "caccia morta", "dead hunt"; it is also known with other names, similar in the meaning but sometimes hardly understandable in Italian, for it's dialectic pronunciation. In reality, north of Italy has a lot in common with european and northern european folklore. In Lombardia you can find the most ancient european depiction of the deity known, in the far north, as Lešij, or Leshen; it is so ancient that it was not brought there by the Lombards. About the Lombards, they were known as Winnili in Scandinavia; later, according to the legend, they got their new name by Odinn and Frigg.
The Germanic folklore you mention at 10:30, is that a reference to the Brothers Grimm's work? Where could I find said myths? I'm pretty interested! Thanks for the video, vey well done 😁
Herla King or Herla Cynning is the Anglo Saxon equivalent to the old French Herlequin, the leader of a Wild Hunt that inspired the trickster character of Harlequin.
In English Pagan folklore Herne, also associated with Cernunnos, is the Lord of the Forest and master of the wild hunt, with his pack of Hounds led by Cunomaglos
Santa Claus is being confused with Odin even though they have animals that pull sleigh through the air and they have beards and are immortal like Father Time and Zeus plus Shazam and Merlin
@@thelegendsofhistory The figure of Baal would interesting as well, since he was seen as a heroic thunder god to ancient people, not too unlike Thor, Zeus, Jove, Perun, or Indra, but thanks to the Bible, is now seen as an evil false idol or the Devil himself. The whole concept of turning pagan deities into Christian demons would make for an interesting video or even series of videos.

The god of the forests calls the hunt when an intruder grievously violates the law of the forest. Those given to the service of the wild god are called to hunt after the interloper until their blood feeds the forest thus providing compensation. Awhooooo!
The god of the forests' name is Cernunnos. He's also known as the Green Man. He dies every Autumn and is reborn in late February. He is said to be a faun-like creature, but like a deer and his large antlers grow back every year. He is also sometimes depicted as a walking tree. He is the male god of fertility and lust and is tasked to keep balance in nature. If you pass him sitting cross leg in the forest, it is said that he will bless your hunt, as long as you never take more than what you need. For this reason, he is sometimes referred to as "the god of the hunt".

Odin, the Devil, Hecate, Diana, they all had their hunts or processions. Accompanied by the dead, fairies, other specters, and witches. There are troops and processions of good and malefic fairies, they can be small groups, that abduct as well. They’re sometimes known to come in whirlwinds or storms and take their victims away make them hunt for them.
There were processions of “the good women,” lead by a goddess figure of differing names by region, bringing witches in flight home to home to eat all the food in the house and party in spirit while the owners slept, and then leave the physical food and the house and feast left tidy for them blessed with good luck. The homeowners would leave a great dinner out on the table overnight, uncap their wines for them to drink, and reap the benefits the day after. Similar with Hecate, she would lead a troop of dead spirits (I believe they went on foot) from house to house to eat her Deipnon (Hecates supper) and leave good luck and good fortune in return. I’m sure both Hecate and the good women in legend harmed many who did not leave gifts and offerings for them or were disliked by the parties.
Werewolves break into people's homes, eating their meat and drinking their beer? Well then sign me up! I knew there was a reason why I loved werewolves. Why are these stories not made into a satirical show?! I can see it now: "A band of merry marauders, helmed by a madly grinning All-Father Woden, with deadpan Cain by his side and a host of over-sized imps riding diminutive goats chasing after mad bull and bears. They bump in the night and occasionally drag along some unfortunate sucker along the way."
Thank you for the information and historical research you have in your videos, it is refreshing to hear about legends and myths, a lot are are taken from Truth in the past.❤️❤️❤️
Battle fields are sometime reported as having spectral soldiers moving across them. Are these phenomenon actual spirits echoing the trauma just before they died ? Could the wild hunt be an echo of this phenomenon witnessed from time to time and forming the core of the myth ?
Hmmmmm.....A group of unknown/mysterious horse-riders that appears on a seasonal basis and constantly hunt for game, abducts women, and are seamlessly unable to dismount as if they are tied to their horses? Sounds like Steppe Nomads to me. I bet the Wild Hunt were the result of Proto-Germanic tribes first encounters to wandering/raiding Steppe Nomads.
Plot twist. All those things are correct and the Wild Hunt was a band of mercenary spirits who were doing all those things for all gods in exchange some form of payment and finishing things they left unfinished when alive.
The Wild Hunt is stil practiced in royal circles for their satanic rites. One such place is the crown land (a royal domain forest area near Apeldoorn) in the Netherlands. In the times around Halloween (to be exact from September 15 to December 25 each year) the place is always heavily guarded and under lockdown, and nobody of this country is allowed to set foot in the forest that is otherwise open to the public for the rest of the year. Also Prince-Bishop of Münster Christoph Bernhard von Galen, a supposed Catholic bishop) has been reported to lead one of these Wild Hunts.
mac curtis Ok. I'm not gonna try to argue as a protagonist of " modern feminism ", but I still have literally still have no clue how you went from your original subject matter and my response to that to any reference to feminism. So what am I missing?
Well, definitely not. Witcher has many, MANY real-world influences. Leshen is also a real-world forest god in Slavic Folklore, and many creatures and monsters also come from Slavic and Norse Myths. I think only Witchers are the author's creation.
@@humanity600 why? do these entities exist by our borders? What exactly is different about their MO's and descriptions, besides cultural interperations example; How is Hercules not a Skinwalker? - Killed family - Wears an lion animalistic totem - gained powers Moses saw a Burning Bush Hittites (Who'd become Nordics) saw Surtr Today we call them UFO Energy orbs that give us radiation burns, because it was all a "Game of THRONES". I study comparative religions and mythology, and from what I can tell the only differences between cultures are their paradigms of perception and vernacular, but when you break it all down... Compare all the "Demons" Solomon faces compared to the worldly Deities of other cultures, in a world shaped by colonization and appropriation. They ALL have stories of Lightning-Thunderer Gods living on mountain tops. Sacred Planets. Sacred Numbers. Sacred Minerals. Sacred Portfolios. Etc. These things translate. The esoteric was erased from whats considered "Canon" of the masses, for a reason. They all have Knowledge Bearers appearing after environmental catastophes with "Handbags" full of grains and Maize for Agriculture. Its like saying Star Wars isn't the same as Lord of the Rings at their core. They're all pieces to the same puzzle. The sin is that each group thinks their piece IS the puzzle and horde it, coveting, perpetuating "Babble".
@@Spoeism humans are all one race. We all have core aspects biologically that make us human. Do we all look the same? No. Same logic when applied to spirits. Literally why the word "jinn" is a broad term, while there are various subspecies. I study comparitive mythology as well, so I actually understand where you're coming from, but particular details separate these races from each other. :)
How come when a mate I know put on a music video that he did called the wild hunt TH-cam booted it off making out it was against TH-cam standards . The real joke is that the guy that made the song actually practice the wild hunt occult and he even did it around Christmas on the internet live . So what's going on .
I learned that there was a early tribe called the Suebii who goes on to become Sweden. There was a branch called the Hardi or harii. Can't remember. But they are the ones who uses to dress up in all black attacking there enemies at night Later on the Norse told stories of men who showed up like ghost in the night led by odin. 😁😁 Some think this is the origin of the Wild hunt🤘🤘
@@benprice7717 I already wrote that also his most known name is Cernunnos-or the Horned one because he had hornes.He is very old a Celtic god of the hunt.In winter he took usually a form of a deer and in the summer of a boar i hope you say it like that in English 😁He was a nature God

Odin, the Devil, Hecate, Diana, they all had their hunts or processions. Accompanied by the dead, fairies, other specters, and witches.
There are troops and processions of good and malefic fairies, they can be small groups, that abduct as well. They’re sometimes known to come in whirlwinds or storms and take their victims away make them hunt for them.
There were processions of “the good women,” lead by a goddess figure of differing
names by region, bringing witches in flight home to home to eat all the food in the house and party in spirit while the owners slept, and then leave the physical food and the house and feast left tidy for them blessed with good luck. The homeowners would leave a great dinner out on the table overnight, uncap their wines for them to drink, and reap the benefits the day after.
Similar with Hecate, she would lead a troop of dead spirits (I believe they went on foot) from house to house to eat her Deipnon (Hecates supper) and leave good luck and good fortune in return. I’m sure both Hecate and the good women in legend harmed many who did not leave gifts and offerings for them or were disliked by the parties.

What the heck are you talking about?
@@Ricca_Day Modern-day Feminism makes it impossible to date or even talk to women because it is all about supremacy men get no respect.

Ok. I'm not gonna try to argue as a protagonist of " modern feminism ", but I still have literally still have no clue how you went from your original subject matter and my response to that to any reference to feminism. So what am I missing?
Used in the "Saga of Pliocene Exile" series by Julian May.
“Ghost Riders in the sky....”
De Bokkenrijders VS The Nightmarchers (Hawaii’s Version of The Wild Hunt)
Stealing my beer? Okay THAT'S going too far.
Random but I really hope to see a video on the language of angels. You could kind of call it occult history
I saw them around the Falkreath and Riften.
*Cues "House of Eternal Hunt" as a backing track
They are pretty f'd up in the witcher 3
Its odd how this makes me suddenly think of MISSING911 and MOTHMEN phenomena, some elements of this sound very familiar
And here I thought the witcher was entirely from one person's imagination
Well, definitely not. Witcher has many, MANY real-world influences. Leshen is also a real-world forest god in Slavic Folklore, and many creatures and monsters also come from Slavic and Norse Myths.
I think only Witchers are the author's creation.
Got something right for once. No complaints with this video.
You should do a video of the Angels of Presence from the book of Enoch. Phanuel is an angel you have yet to cover.
Can you do one on the haitian lwa.
Ghost Riders in the skies
Disappointed you didn't mention the song Ghost Riders in the Sky, which is an obvious reference to the Wild Hunt
They sound like the seeelie and unseelie sidhe.
Someone else thinking the same line as me
@@cutebutsadisticable same.
Probably unseelie.
@@humanity600 I completely agree.
One theory; European versions of the D'Jinn.
Samoans also tell stories of similar entities.
🤔😲🥰
The jinn? Not really imo.
@@humanity600 why? do these entities exist by our borders?
What exactly is different about their MO's and descriptions, besides cultural interperations
example; How is Hercules not a Skinwalker?
- Killed family
- Wears an lion animalistic totem
- gained powers
Moses saw a Burning Bush
Hittites (Who'd become Nordics) saw Surtr
Today we call them UFO Energy orbs that give us radiation burns, because it was all a "Game of THRONES".
I study comparative religions and mythology, and from what I can tell the only differences between cultures are their paradigms of perception and vernacular, but when you break it all down...
Compare all the "Demons" Solomon faces compared to the worldly Deities of other cultures, in a world shaped by colonization and appropriation.
They ALL have stories of Lightning-Thunderer Gods living on mountain tops.
Sacred Planets. Sacred Numbers. Sacred Minerals. Sacred Portfolios. Etc. These things translate.
The esoteric was erased from whats considered "Canon" of the masses, for a reason.
They all have Knowledge Bearers appearing after environmental catastophes with "Handbags" full of grains and Maize for Agriculture.
Its like saying Star Wars isn't the same as Lord of the Rings at their core.
They're all pieces to the same puzzle.
The sin is that each group thinks their piece IS the puzzle and horde it, coveting, perpetuating "Babble".
@@Spoeism so you're christian?
@@Spoeism humans are all one race. We all have core aspects biologically that make us human. Do we all look the same? No.
Same logic when applied to spirits. Literally why the word "jinn" is a broad term, while there are various subspecies.
I study comparitive mythology as well, so I actually understand where you're coming from, but particular details separate these races from each other. :)
Knee deep in the witcher 3. Over 110 hours in, level 23 and still havent found Ceri 😎
Fear the Old Blood
Sounds like a bloodborne line.
@@humanity600 I couldn't resist
@@josephstubbs5254 😎🤝🔥

How come when a mate I know put on a music video that he did called the wild hunt TH-cam booted it off making out it was against TH-cam standards . The real joke is that the guy that made the song actually practice the wild hunt occult and he even did it around Christmas on the internet live . So what's going on .
Can you do the 200 million horseman please
Guess you call Geralt
Witcher fans where are you?
Here!!
Gang!🔥🔥🔥
@@humanity600 I love your profile pic and name! I'm a DMC fan too.
i loved the wild hunt in the teen wolf tv show
I learned that there was a early tribe called the Suebii who goes on to become Sweden. There was a branch called the Hardi or harii. Can't remember. But they are the ones who uses to dress up in all black attacking there enemies at night Later on the Norse told stories of men who showed up like ghost in the night led by odin. 😁😁
Some think this is the origin of the Wild hunt🤘🤘
is it really a bad thing to be kidnapped by a group of elves and brought to the faerie queens kingdom to be forced to join a spectral hunting party?
....the legendary berzerker spirit was psilobin. Js.
thank you xxx I believe in you.
Herne the hunter
The Spectral Riders
Not a myth spirits never die
Until judgement day
Im calling Geralt
I only know the Celtic God of hunt Cernunnos-The Horned one
The Erlking in some literature Lord Herne or horned one
@@benprice7717 I already wrote that also his most known name is Cernunnos-or the Horned one because he had hornes.He is very old a Celtic god of the hunt.In winter he took usually a form of a deer and in the summer of a boar i hope you say it like that in English 😁He was a nature God
@@marinakaiser7639 yeah I have some cool art of him.🔥🔥🔥😎
