00:00:00.000If you look up who is the wild hunt actually hunting, from my traditions that I've grown up with since the early, early 90s, the wild hunt is a psychopomp functionality.
00:00:21.420if i was to look at it uh from as an observer uh i was always of the of the teachings that lord
00:00:33.600odin is uh at the end of the year when the veil is the thinnest he rides out and he doesn't ride
00:00:42.520out with the einherjar he is riding out with the multitudes of the of kind of the hounds
00:00:50.120or maybe even the hounds of death and that he is ferrying over lost souls or souls that were
00:00:59.500uh from outlaws crossroads uh uh confused soldiers etc and that the wild hunt
00:01:11.400At the closing of Haustblot, Lord Odin rides out to gather these souls, to return them to the mound, the underworld, to Helgarth, to Hel or Helheim or whatever title we, you know, there's so many titles for it, but to return beyond the veil.
00:01:36.100So the thinning of the veil kind of coalesces with this. And so the gathering of the lost souls and the psychopomp function is in this wild hunt, the searching every corner, kind of, again, just the hunting motif of it.
00:02:00.400And that every soul gathered is another soul in the wild hunt until he can bring them down.
