    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.

    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.

    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 🌝!

    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.

    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.

    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."

    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.

    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".

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".

    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.
