The Wild Hunt

Come closer to the fire and hear what is told of these long dark nights.

In the nights after Yule,
when the sun has turned but the dark still holds the land,
there are winds that do not rise by chance.

It is said the Hunt rides then.
Storm and shadow moving as one.
Hooves in the sky.
Voices carried on the cold.

Some say Odin leads it,
cloak snapping in the wind,
one eye on the living, one on the dead.
Some say it is the ancestors themselves,
riding the paths they once walked,
gathering what was left undone.

Names change.
The knowing does not.

This is not a thing to call.
Not a thing to follow.

When the Hunt is abroad,
wise folk keep close to the hearth.
Doors are shut.
Fires are fed, not flared.
Bread and ale are set at the edge of light,
so what passes may pass on.

The Hunt does not come for those who stay where they belong.
It moves through the wild places,
through storm and forest and sky,
through the long night that still owns its power.

Remember this.

There are nights meant for wandering,
and nights meant for staying.
The Hunt teaches the difference.

So hold to warmth.
Hold to kin.
Let the wind ride where it will.

Reflection
What am I wise enough to leave alone?

The Triquetra is perhaps the most well-known Celtic Knotwork. It’s famous for its appearance in the Book of Kells, but its presence extends far beyond Ireland.

Origins and history
This ancient symbol has been found carved into stonework across northern Europe and is believed to be one of the oldest Celtic knots.

Some suggest it dates back as far as 5,000 BC, though the first solid evidence of its widespread use appears in the 7th century AD.

Structure and design
The Triquetra consists of three interwoven ovals or arcs – one pointing upward at the center, with two curving downward to either side.

Often, these arcs are enclosed within a larger loop, reinforcing the knot’s continuous nature.

Meaning
This Celtic Knot meaning varies from group to group, but a common thread ties it to the Celtic belief in the power of threes. Its interpretations include:

Christian symbolism: Adopted to represent the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
Pagan associations: Life, death, and rebirth, or the three realms of the earth – land, sea, and sky.
Feminine archetypes: The maiden, the mother, and the crone, representing innocence, creation, and wisdom.
