The Wild Hunt Cŵn Annwn
A tribute to the Wild Hunt myth, which is described as a group of ghosts or supernatural beings that have set out on a hunt rush. Hunters, according to various versions, can be either elves, or fairies, or the dead, the hunt is led by the king or queen of the elves. A vision of the Wild Hunt foreshadows some kind of catastrophe, such as war or plague, or, at best, “just” the death of someone who witnessed it.

In Welsh mythology, Arawn (/ˈɑːraʊn/; Welsh pronunciation: [ˈarau̯n]) was the king of the otherworld realm of Annwn who appears prominently in the first branch of the Mabinogi, and alluded to in the fourth. In later tradition, the role of the king of Annwnwas largely attributed to the Welsh psychopomp, Gwyn ap Nudd - meaning "white" (i.e. 'winter') a possible kenning for his true name. However, Arawn's memory is retained in a traditional saying found in an old Cardigan folktale:
Hir yw'r dydd a hir yw'r nos, a hir yw aros Arawn "Long is the day and long is the night, and long is the waiting of Arawn"[1]
The name Arawn is possibly analogous to the continental theonym Arubianus.
Vosegus was a name used in the Roman Empire for a Celtic god of hunting and forestation.The name is derived from the Proto-Celtic * uɸo - and * segos.
Later in Gallo-Roman religion, Vosegus was the patron god of the Vosges in eastern Gaul. His name is attested in about five inscriptions from western Germany and eastern France, twice in the form Vosego Silvestri and once as Mercurio Vosego.
