"The following poem is inspire by a hero of lore, who was half man, and half deer. Popular throughout medieval Europe he went by such names as Cernunnos, Wodan, and Herne. A spiritual figure who rides the winds of the 'Wild Hunt', he takes vengeance out on anyone who purposely harms the Earth, or her blessings."
"Most conclude he never existed, but I wish he did!"
ANTLERED AVENGER
An antlered man upon a fire breathing black horse
To those of evil he shows little if any remorse
Called Wodan by some, and named Herne by others
He calls the fauna and the fawns his sisters and his brothers
Following a pack of Gabriel's snow white Hell Hounds
On the gusts of stormy night winds the Heavens he bounds
Any of you who Mother Earth should you offend
He'll snatch up your soul and to Hell he'll condemn
So polluters and poachers you'd better beware
For an antlered avenger rides the night air.
The Master of the Wild Hunt!
I first read about him in the Susan Cooper books. He made an appearance towards the end of the final book.
