About this episode
Amina and Mathias are diving deep into the myth of the Wild Hunt in different European cultures. They explore the connections between the Wild Hunt and Odin, local folklore about trolls that invade your farm, the southern German Krampus traditions, transcendental rituals and witchcraft, the secret cult of the Benandanti in northern Italy, and stories about berserkir in Scandinavia. They of course also get deep into Irish lore about Cuchullain and Pwll, and why the Brits are afraid of geese!
