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.
