Color of the day: Brown
Incense of the day: Lilac On windy moonlit autumn nights, when clouds scud across the sky, the Wild Hunt can be heard. The Wild Hunt is a ghostly cavalcade of spirits, led by the lord of the shadows as they ride from the otherworld to carry back the souls of the newly departed. As recently as the mid-twentieth century this phenomenon was reported in England. If you should be alone on such a night, light a candle and intone the following words: Riding on the night wind, Free and unreined The riders of the Wild Hunt Ride untamed. The hunting horn Sounds its blast, A hundred stallions Thunder past, Stars gather In their flowing manes. As the door to the Otherworld opens again, Carrying spirits Of those who've come before, And those whispered about In secret lore, The huntsmen rush Through the shadow of trees, Leaving their message On the autumn breeze. They turn the cosmic Wheel of fate, For they are the keepers Of the gate. |
