So it is very hard to make direct links connecting all myths. Others are what was tales were common to a certain region. Obviously with a lot of these type of stories there are different variation depending on the myth you look at - and some of these variations are just as time passes and stories are told orally, changes are made. Will this also mean that since Amren used her power in ACOWAR and is now just a “high fae” she will attend starfall? I’m wondering if Is she afraid of being taken with the wild hunt?ĭoes she think the Wild hunt will see her for what she really is and therefore does not want to risk it. Is this is why Amren hates starfall? had a thought that perhaps starfall marked the day Amren arrived in Prythian. In some instances, it was also believed that people’s spirits could be pulled away during their sleep to join the cavalcade. People encountering the Hunt might also be abducted to the underworld or the fairy kingdom. Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it. The Wild hunt also “abducts” people to the underworld or fairy kingdom. The hunters may be either elves or fairies or the dead, and the leader of the hunt is often a named figure associated with Woden (or other reflections of the same god, such as Alemannic Wuodan in Wuotis Heer (“Wuodan’s Army”) of Central Switzerland, Swabia etc.), but may variously be a historical or legendary figure like Theodoric the Great, the Danish king Valdemar Atterdag, the Welsh psychopomp Gwyn ap Nudd, biblical figures such as Herod, Cain, Gabriel or the Devil, or an unidentified lost soul or spirit either male or female The Wild Hunt is a European folk myth involving a ghostly or supernatural group of huntsmen passing in wild pursuit. But we know that the hunt is to take souls/spirits/people who are out when they shouldn’t be - to the underworld. ![]() It’s never confirmed who is actually leading the hunt. The Wild hunt has many different leaders. So if we view Rhysand as Hades and the night court as the edge of the underworld, we would be looking at the wild hunt and those it hunts/captures descending into the underworld. ![]() We know that Rhysand is referenced to as a Hades type in ACOMAF when he took Feyre away for 1 week out of 4 a month. We know that the night court is at- the end of the earth/world. The wild hunt collects souls that are to be taken to the underworld. Is Starfall a reference to “the wild hunt” in folk lore/mythology. what holidays are there in TOG/ACOTAR that could be linked…. REMEMBER I THINK TOG AND ACOTAR ARE LINKED SOMEHOW - SEE THIS ERILEA POST, had some great points and I’m going to expand on one of them, use them in my discussion “think - Sliders and parallel worlds.” So I started to wonder if Samhain in the TOG series was a later version of some more ancient ritual… because Elena is allowed to have a physical presence on that night. (I thought it was just in reference to Amarantha letting people out but what if it’s something more?) ![]() Then I remember on Calanmai where Rhysand said that - all creatures/beasts? get to walk the earth on that day - or some jazz like that. (when I started writing this)Īnd it got me thinking about it being the kind of night when spirits can pass through to our world.Īnd I saw a post about faerie gates on tumblrįaerie and wyrd - both have an etymology to the word fate ![]() Ok Guys… another theory… is coming…If I could animate I would make you a pretty video with me talking over the top, but I can’t - so it’s just lots of words.
