Episode 16: The Wild Hunt - When Odin Rides the Winter Sky

When winter storms rise and the nights stretch long, old Northern folklore speaks of the Wild Hunt. A roaring procession of spirits, hounds, and the dead said to thunder across the sky during midwinter. In many of the oldest traditions, the Hunt is led by Odin, riding his great horse through wind and cloud.

This episode is a folklore retelling drawn from Norse and Germanic sources. It explores the signs of the Hunt, what it meant to witness it, and why people were warned to bar their doors when the storm came. A winter tale of omens, wandering souls, and the power believed to move through the darkest nights of the year.
