Arawn's Hunt

Samhain’s moon rises

And the wild hunt begins

Death’s king rides forth

With blood red hounds

From Annwn they flee

Souls of the ever-damned

Arawn's Hunt is based on the stories of Arawn in Welsh mythology. The tale that I based this poem on says that Arawn, king of the Otherworld, would hunt souls down during in the time of Samhain should they ever flee from Annwn.

Gowdie

Bonnie Isobel

Of Gaelic blood

By Hecate's grace

And Liltih's hand

Black arts she claimed

From woman to hare

Under night's veil

She would go

With sorrow and care

'Til home she came again

Gowdie is a piece inspired by the story of Isobel Gowdie, a Scottish woman accused of witchcraft. There is little information of her life and no record of her ever being executed.
