What some people consider "kinky" others consider very natural. Very often when we of sexy clothing or undergarments. For example, many sexually active people no longer consider oral and anal sexual activity as kinky.
Some sexual activities considered 'kinky' are: analingus - rimming, bi-sexual relations, BDSM - bondage & discipline, dominance & submission, sadism & masochism, c/bt - cock and ball torture, candle wax, cross dressing, enemas, fisting both vaginal and anal, foot worship, group sex, infantilism, nipple torture, role-play, scat, shaving, spanking, swapping, swinging, toys, and watersports.
The abbreviation BDSM
Defines three specific and distinctly different lifestyles. They are 'B & D' or Bondage and Discipline, 'D & S' or Dominance and Submission, and 'S & M' or Sadism and Masochism.
Bondage and Discipline
B and D deals with tying, blindfolding, chaining or restraining people with straps, ropes, handcuffs, straightjackets, and the potential inflicting of punishment. If you are seeking bondage and discipline partners locally then we suggest you try Bondage.com
Dominance and Submission
Deals with more with power exchanges, trust, obedience, role-play and even slavery where one person submits to the commands of another.
Sadism and Masochism
S and M is almost always abbreviated to S & M and is usually associated with pain although it is more accurate to say that it deals with experiencing strong sensations. After all, what may be painful to one person may not be painful to another.
Bondage.com is the world's largest BDSM community and the most exciting bondage and fetish website. Meet kinky singles for dating and chat, from dominant females to submissive males, masters and slaves or spanking and bondage. They offer you a fully fledged, mega singles kinky adult site that contains fetish photo galleries, videos, bdsm and spanking, free Kinky chat rooms and OVER 7 million active members worldwide and locally!

SB20 National Championship
Rachel Solon
posted on July 29, 2013 15:10
In really tricky conditions that saw the nine race series reduced to six races, the fleet of 22 SB20's took to the water to contend the title this weekend on Galway Bay. Ably commanded on the water by Galway Bay Sailing Club Commodore David Vinnell, the team battled the elements all weekend with massive shifts, rain squalls, thunder and lightning storms and doldrums.
Race 1 on Saturday proved to be a presidential affair with SB20 International Class President Ed Russo getting off to a flying start with a win closely followed by Irish class President Justin Burke in 2nd. Russo was sailing on chartered SB Mephisto and was crewed by Rob Smith and Americas Cup/Match race tour sailor Gilles Favennec. The team were using the Irish Event as a warm up to their campaign for the SB20 worlds later this year to be held in Hyeres.
Race 2 was won by Ben Duncan (Sharkbait) with Kieran Dorgan (The Bear) in 2nd who was definitely improving after a slow start to his day. Russo crossed the line in 3rd . By this time the crews were finding it increasingly difficult to get a measure of the tricky wind conditions. The odd flurry of breeze from the Southern shore would not last long and would inevitably cause a bit of intense head scratching. Vinnell and team boldly set the course for race 3 directly underneath one incoming cloud and it was Aidan O'Connell (Ruby Blue) took race 3 from Sharkbait. O'Connell opted for the left side of the beat from the start and beat Duncan to the weather mark coming nicely in on the port lay. O'Connell maintained his lead all the way to the finish. Kieran Dorgan again showed good pace and finished in 3rd.
PRO David Vinnell had wanted to run 5 races on Saturday but a large thunder and lightning storm that came in from the southwest killed any gradient breeze. What little breeze remained was shifting regularly by 30+ degrees which made it impossible to set a course so David wisely opted to send the fleet home.
The consistent Michael O'Connor and team (Should Be) won a very technically challenging Sunday race 1 with Ed Russo snapping at his heels. Another large shift indicating an imminent sea breeze made for a dog leg to the finish. Ed Russo now held the key to the event as Duncan could only manage a 7th. The team on Sharkbait had a major hill to climb as now they were on joint 15 points with Russo who would have won the event had there been no more racing. It was Duncan who had to dig deep and get a good result in Sunday Race 2. Russo opted for a pin end start and went left. Duncan took the committee boat and went right sensing that the developing sea breeze would come from the right hand beat. Russo however picked up seaweed on the beat and had to back sails to remove the offending handbrake and lost places as a result. Duncan meanwhile came out of the beat 3rd to the weather mark behind Mel Collins (Who's the Boss) who came in bravely from the port lay, and Darren Martin (Soda Bread). Sharkbait was able to get a sniff more breeze and reeled in the two leaders to win with Daragh Sheridan from Howth Yacht Club on Dingy Supplies in 2nd.
For the final race 3 on Sunday, Russo had to engineer a race win and try and force Duncan into deep results. However PRO David Vinnell caught two boats over early at the start on a black flag sequence and it was Russo who had to sit it out on the bold step along with Carrickfergus man Davy Taylor on Boatmec.com. Sharkbait (Ben Duncan, Brian Moran and Joe Turner) commanded the final race and took a win to copper fasten their third consecutive SB20 Nationals Title with an impressive 1,1,1,2,5, (7) score and an 11 point margin over second.
Michael O'Connor from the Royal St George Yacht Club crewed by Howth pairing Breffini Jones and Simon Rattigan did enough with a 5th in the final race to merit a 2nd overall, a silver medal and some very nice Galway Irish Crystal. Third overall was Mel Collins, Killian Collins and Mary Credon who improved greatly on their Saturday performances and made the podium position.
Silver fleet was won by Strangford Loughs Darren Martin and crew on Soda Bread with Justin Burke (Alert Packaging.com) in 2nd and Davy Taylor (Boatmec.com) in third.

Syrian rebels make gains in Aleppo
Rebels captured a small military base near Aleppo on Tuesday and stormed another in the same area that protects a major airport, a day after seizing Syria's largest dam.
With the back-to-back blows to President Bashar Assad's regime, opposition fighters appear to be regaining some momentum, expanding their northern zone of control while at the same time pushing deeper into the heart of the capital, Damascus.
Rebels have been attacking Aleppo's civilian airport, which remains in regime hands, for weeks. They now appear to have removed the main defenses around the facility. Civilian flights stopped weeks ago because of the intensity of the fighting.
In New York, U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay said the number of people killed in Syria is probably now approaching 70,000. Her comments were made less than six weeks after she said the death toll had exceeded 60,000, a figure that at the time she called "truly shocking."
She told the U.N. Security Council that there have probably been almost 10,000 new deaths in recent weeks. The council's deep division and inaction over the nearly 2-year-old conflict had been "disastrous" and that civilians on all sides had paid the price, Pillay said.
As rebels made conquests in the northern provinces of Aleppo and Raqqa, they fought street by street in the eastern city of Deir el-Zour, near the border with Iraq. They were trying to capture the city, a provincial capital of an oil-rich region that carries the same name.
Rebels control wide areas in the three provinces. But if they can fully capture them, it would put them in control of the country's water and oil resources as well as wheat fields.
"If they (three provinces) fall in the hands of the rebels, it will be a strategic strike against the regime," said Rami Abdul-Rahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an anti-regime activist group.
Abdul-Rahman said that after days of sporadic clashes around the Jarrah airfield, rebels began a major assault on the base on Monday and had overrun the facility by Tuesday morning.
He said several regime troops in the area were killed or wounded in the fighting, while others fled as the rebels advanced. There was no word on opposition casualties.

Just kidding.
Everyone knows Jennifer Aniston is comfortable taking almost all of it off and flaunting that fabulous bod for the glossies—remember these GQ, Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair covers?
So for the latest issue of Marie Claire, the actress looks totally cool, natch, going pantsless in a pair of Gucci briefs and a tuxedo coat, flashing that adorable grin.
Inside she gets up close and personal with Jason Bateman, nuzzling her costar in that same getup as the two promote their comedy Horrible Bosses...
Speaking of work, the actress reveals the trials of her early years in the biz.
"I spent my first paycheck on a vintage Mercedes. I was struggling a little in New York, working as a waitress at Jackson Hole but not really getting any consistent acting work," Jen says. "Then I moved out here to Los Angeles, and I started getting pilots and working pretty regularly. I still didn't make any decent money until I got on Friends."
If she hadn't followed in her dad John Aniston's footsteps, though, Jen reveals she might've become an interior designer.
"I love seeing a house and thinking about how it should be redone or restored," the Friend says. "I spent a lot of time doing my current house, and it's beautiful. It's like a beautiful work of art, and I'm very proud of it."
Hey, if Jen's offering her services, then sign us up!

Body art store revives downtown Port Orchard business debate
PORT ORCHARD - A new body art store in Port Orchard appears to violate the city's ordinance against tattoo parlors on the ground level of Bay Street. Or does it?
Aperture Body Arts Studio LLC, 834 Bay St., performs piercings in its upstairs loft. Owners Jake Franklin and Kerry Enderton will soon contract with a tattoo artist to offer that service upstairs as well. Downstairs is devoted to retail sales of earrings, studs and other body jewelry, as allowed under the city's rules. So all is well, technically.
But Tuesday, the City Council — without a word about Aperture — discussed tightening the ordinance and clarifying the intent to prohibit some business uses — possibly including body piercing — in the city's Downtown Overlay District. The DOD, a three-block area in and around Bay Street, is subject to special rules established in 2007 that go above and beyond the city's land-use and zoning codes.
According to Mayor Tim Matthes, the city received many complaints about Aperture as it was getting ready to open in March. The discussion of DOD rules was indirectly related to the new business, he said.
"It kind of brought the subject up to the surface," Matthes said. "There was an awful lot of pushback to me and to the staff when that body piercing place moved in there. They didn't feel that business fit their predetermined notion of what we wanted to do downtown."
Enderton was dismayed with the lukewarm reception from some in town.
"We were kind of excited about bringing something hip to Port Orchard, bringing young people in," she said. "We were really excited, but the excitement's kind of waning a bit."
Franklin said some tattoo shops in Port Orchard already offer piercing. The fact that Aperture specializes in the craft called attention to the issue, he said.
Franklin, who abides by standards of the Association of Professional Piercers, says those standards go above and beyond state laws governing body art. The category includes piercing, tattoos, permanent cosmetics, branding and scarification, or cutting the skin to produce marks and patterns.
Beyond that, Franklin's creativity is limited only by his clients' imaginations. On a demo for Aperture's Facebook page, Franklin pierced two rows of hoops on a woman's waist and laced them together, corset-style, with brightly colored ribbons.
He pierces "everything you can possibly think of. ... It's pretty much endless what you can pierce if you do it in the right way."
At Tuesday's meeting, City Attorney Greg Jacoby advised the council to take a close look at some of the business uses currently allowed on Bay Street under DOD guidelines. One category, "general business services," is defined under the state's Standard Industrial Classification code to allow personal services including massage parlors, escort services and Turkish baths — businesses not exactly in line with the quaint, small-town image the council has historically sought to project.
Jacoby also suggested the council should revisit its policy on tattoo parlors and bail bond agencies. Since 2007, the DOD rules were amended to limit these types of businesses to the second floor of Bay Street buildings, because the council felt they didn't support an image the city wants to promote. DOD guidelines do not address body piercing. Jacoby said the discussion was not aimed at any one business in particular. Established businesses would not be affected by future changes in the ordinance.
"This is not being triggered solely by the recent business application for body piercing," Jacoby later said. "It's an accumulation of a couple of different uses, as well as the passage of time. I think the city, as a good planning practice, should periodically examine what their permitted uses are, and that's where we're at."
The council agreed to review the DOD ordinance, passing it first to the planning commission.
Matthes, historically a property rights advocate, cautioned the council against taking a heavy hand in limiting downtown business uses.
"I think you should be very careful about how you restrict people, who they rent to. They should have an even chance to make a living," Matthes said. "I think we should consider the fact that they're all private properties."
"My job is to look out for the interest of the city," Councilman John Clauson countered. "We have very little retail space. To dilute that with bail bonds, I think, is a disservice to the community."
Enderton believes public opinion was behind a visit from Matthes that the store received shortly after its March 20 opening. Matthes ordered Aperture to close, because their business license and occupancy permit had not yet been granted. The store remained closed for an additional two weeks.
"We lost a lot of income," Enderton said. "We had appointments lined up."
Interim Planning Director Tom Bonsell said part of the delay was because the owners had first applied as a body piercing establishment. The city isn't authorized to issue a business license for body piercing, Bonsell said, but it could license Aperture as a retail store. So the owners resubmitted their application.
Enderton and Franklin believe the city cannot prevent them from doing body piercing and will continue to ply their trade upstairs while operating the city sanctioned retail store downstairs.
Building owner Woody Hoosier is fine with that arrangement, said property manager Donn Hughes.
Hughes also manages a building in Manette where Aperture had tried to rent space, but those property owners did not want a piercing shop. Hughes, who reviewed Port Orchard's DOD rules with the owners, said Aperture has agreed to limit body art to the second floor and to close by 9 p.m.
"They're good folks. Good people," Hughes said. "They're trying to do an upscale deal. They've been cooperative all along."

The genetics of lupus: a functional perspective

Arthritis Research & Therapy 2012, 14:211 doi:10.1186/ar3844Published: 29 May 2012
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with a strong genetic component and is characterized by chronic inflammation and the production of anti-nuclear auto-antibodies. In the era of genome-wide association studies (GWASs), elucidating the genetic factors present in SLE has been a very successful endeavor; 28 confirmed disease susceptibility loci have been mapped. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the genetics of lupus and focus on the strongest associated risk loci found to date (P <1.0 × 10−8). Although these loci account for less than 10% of the genetic heritability and therefore do not account for the bulk of the disease heritability, they do implicate important pathways, which contribute to SLE pathogenesis. Consequently, the main focus of the review is to outline the genetic variants in the known associated loci and then to explore the potential functional consequences of the associated variants. We also highlight the genetic overlap of these loci with other autoimmune diseases, which indicates common pathogenic mechanisms. The importance of developing functional assays will be discussed and each of them will be instrumental in furthering our understanding of these associated variants and loci. Finally, we indicate that performing a larger SLE GWAS and applying a more targeted set of methods, such as the ImmunoChip and next generation sequencing methodology, are important for identifying additional loci and enhancing our understanding of the pathogenesis of SLE.

State's best fishing waters will soon be highlighted
TribLIVE Sports Videos
If you've been paying attention, you know the emphasis in the outdoors these days is on making it easy for people to go hunting, fishing and the like.
Wildlife agencies across the country have simplified regulations. They've created special youth-only seasons. They've crafted mentoring programs for adults and children.
It's all about knocking down barriers.
We're about to see some more of that in Pennsylvania soon. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is launching a "Pennsylvania's best fishing waters" program designed to make it easy for people to decide where to fish, based on the species they want to catch.
"In the past, when anglers had more free time to investigate individual waters, they discovered through trial and error those waters that provided better fishing," reads a report provided to commissioners.
"With free time being at a premium, seasoned anglers, anglers new to the sport and non-resident anglers have less time to weed out the less productive waters and search for ways to increase their success and enjoyment out of their time spent fishing."
Ted Walke, chief of the commission's division of outreach, said in Pittsburgh last week the program is designed to do that homework for them.
Biologists will look at their survey data and determine the best places to fish, based on things like fish populations, stocking, trophy potential, the availability of public access, the ability to handle increased angling pressure and more. The commission's outreach staff will promote the list everywhere possible.
"From a marketing standpoint, it's what they call packaging," Walke said.
Waters highlighted in the "best" category will focus on wild and stocked trout; largemouth and smallmouth bass; bullhead and channel catfish; yellow perch; crappie; bluegill and pumpkinseed; walleye; muskies and tiger muskies; and striped bass and hybrid striped bass.
Emphasizing so many species will ensure that the "best" list touches all parts of the state and offers opportunities for anglers to fish across all seasons, Walke said.
The state's most serious anglers may already know about the waters on the list, he said. But pulling everything together in one place should increase convenience for everyone else, and that's critical in this era, he said.
"All the research out there says fishing must be convenient," Walke said. "So we want to simplify things, increase convenience and emphasize fishing as an activity that's fun and relaxing to do with friends and family."

Election series
This is the third in a series of stories talking with the candidates for Union City Commission. All candidates mentioned in this story have been or will be profiled in The Union Recorder.
UNION — Over the past 18 months, Union City Commission candidate Ken Heil has seen Union city commissioner Bryan Miller around at political events.
Weve come to know each other and we both share the same philosophy or public policy ideas, Heil said.
According to Heil, Miller talked to him a few months ago about running for the commission.
So I considered it. I thought it was a good idea.
Only three people Heil, Donna Fryman and Miller filed before the deadline to run for the commission though four seats are up for grabs in the Nov. 6 election. One candidate, Deanna Kline, has filed as a write-in candidate.
Heil retired from Toyota two years ago and is currently a logistics contractor.
The city, he said, is fiscally in good shape.
While he doesnt think there are currently any major issues, as unsettled as things are right now with the global economy, the city should be careful before making any major capital commitments.
Theres a lot of things going on in the world right now, he said. We dont want to put our city in the position where we are compromised and cant do something we want to do because weve committed to do something else that turns out (to be) what doesnt fit whats going on in the world.
One of the biggest issues facing the city at this time is the development of the Union Town Plan. Heil said it looks to be very capital intensive.
In the current global economy, Id have to say, is this a good thing to do right now? he said.
For a big change, public commitment is important.
When youre making big changes, you want to have a major buy-in, he said. You dont want to try to be winging it in your own, dragging people into it.
Even though the city may be doing a good job locally, that doesnt mean residents arent affected on the state and federal levels.
You have to be a little receptive to the idea that even if were spending money wisely and frugally, we maybe need to be even more frugal.
Over the course of a two-year term, Heil said he wants to take a look at where the city is spending that is optional or is not mandatory, to see whether the cost is necessary.
I want to review those and just see if we can give the taxpayers a break by not doing some things and keeping the tax rates down.

UPPERCUT®Dual-flush flushometers use 30% less water 1.6 gpf single flush models
Sloan Fixturesoffer a great way to conserve water and save money
Everett M. Dirksen Middle School District 149 in Calumet City near Chicago was the grand prize winner of a "green makeover" in an EcoZone Green My School contest. Students and teachers of Dirksen Middle School, a school built in 1966 serving grades 6 through 8, submitted a video on why their school should win a green upgrade.
Over 30 schools throughout Suburban Cook County Regional School District in Illinois submitted entries for the contest sponsored by CBS EcoMedia. Dirksen Middle School was chosen as the grand prize winner because its video demonstrated best overall creative response to the question, "What does it mean to be green?" The school received a "green makeover" with products and services for internal and external green upgrades valued at over $100,000.
One of the highlights of the award-winning makeover was water-efficiency and conservation improvements, including high-efficiency plumbing products from Sloan. Sloan High-Efficiency Toilets (HET) with green-handle UPPERCUT® dual-flush flushometers and Sloan High-Efficiency Urinals (HEU) were installed in all the student and teacher restrooms. These fixtures and fittings are rugged enough for tough student environments, while providing exceptional water savings.
More than 40 older water closet fixtures were replaced with Sloan HET systems, which combine the UPPERCUT dual-flush Flushometers with bowls that are specifically engineered for dual-flush operation. UPPERCUT can reduce water volume by 30%. Pushing the green handle down initiates a full, 1.6 gpf flush for solid waste and paper. Lifting the handle up initiates a reduced flush (1.1 gpf) for liquid and paper. This provides a savings of one-half gallon of water per flush. Easy-to-understand instructions, etched on adhesive-backed metal plates, are included with every UPPERCUT.
In addition, 20 urinal fixtures with manual 1.5 gpf (5.7 Lpf) flushometers were replaced with Sloan HEUs flushing at 0.125 gpf (0.5 Lpf). Sloan HEUs combine the performance of both the fixture and the flush valve to ensure a true, water-efficient system. The system reduces water usage by 88%, resulting in an annual water savings of about 32,000 gallons based on 100 daily uses per fixture.
According to Jim Washausen, supervisor of buildings and grounds for Dolton School District 149, when comparing the school's 2008 and 2009 water bills for the fourth quarter, he saw a $300 savings. "The benefit is the water bill. The water savings have really helped, especially the way the economy is and the lack of funding to schools," says Washausen.
Washausen admits the award came just at the right time with the need to start thinking about replacing or updating its 40-year-old plumbing. "The project went very well and was quick. It was completed in less than two weeks," he says. "I think Sloan has great products. We haven't had any problems."

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, left, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, gives the Seminoles a great shot at contending for another national championship next season. / Gary A. Vasquez, USA TODAY Sports
The woman who accused Florida State star quarterback Jameis Winston of rape plans to file civil lawsuits against the 2013 Heisman winner, who led the Seminoles to a national championship on Monday.
"I want heads to roll," the woman's attorney, Pat Carroll, told ABC News. "Absolutely you're going to see a civil suit. You can not have law enforcement that is not held accountable."
Carroll told ABC the family also plans to take civil action against the Tallahassee Police Department, claiming negligence in the way it handled the case, which ultimately led prosecutors to drop it. Additionally, Carroll anticipates the family will proceed with civil action against Florida State University.
The charges against Winston were filed on Dec. 7, 2012, but an investigation closed shortly afterward. The case was reopened in November after the charges against Winston became public. Willie Meggs, the state attorney for Florida, conducted another investigation and ultimately decided not to file any charges against Winston in December.

'Lead by strength, not title,' Benincasa says. / Stuart O'Sullivan/Getty Images
Dreading that group project at work? The key to success is in building the perfect team. Team-building is a way to be in control of your life, says Robyn Benincasa, world champion adventure racer and author of How Winning Works: 8 Essential Leadership Lessons From the Toughest Teams on Earth.
Benincasa left the corporate world to take on expedition-level competitions that tax participants to hike jungles and mountains, cross lava fields and survive rapids. Who crosses the finish line first is as much who youre with as how you train, she says. Steal her tricks:
Play to the strengths. Recognize one anothers strengths and weaknesses (we all have them) and tap into them by divvying out tasks accordingly. Leave egos at the door.
Stop the finger-pointing. Nothing defeats team spirit more than singling out someones flaw. All teams, whether work or personal, are built on respect. Lead by strength, not by title, Benincasa declares. Squash any negative remarks as soon as they come up.
Take Benincasas test. Do you look at people as potential competitors or potential teammates? If youre trying to compete, flip a mental switch, Benincasa says. The world is full of potential teammates.

Long-distance reselling has been with us as an industry since 1989. Its practitioners purchase huge blocks of phone time in bulk at deep discounts from facilities-based carriers such as AT&T. Then they mark up and sell the time to long-distance users such as small businesses. Until recently, choosing a reliable reseller has often been a risky venture because a few disreputable hustlers have given the industry a bad rep. Now, though, resellers have formed a national trade group that has cleaned things up, and such reputable merchants as General Electric, Hertz, and Avis recently have entered the market with reseller divisions of their own.
A company that spends as little as $100 a month with conventional long-distance carriers can save by switching to a reseller, claims Telegroup, an established reseller in Fairfield, Iowa. Telegroup's average customer spends $400 a month and saves up to 20% of the cost of using a major carrier. When a Telegroup customer presses the universal "1" to begin a long-distance call, that call flows along the same lines everyone else uses but is automatically billed to Telegroup at bulk rates. Telegroup charges the customer on a per-call basis; the customer is not obliged to absorb a given level of use.
Industry watchdog Telecommunications Resellers Association (TRA) is the main source for finding and selecting a reseller in your region. Some of its recommendations:
Shop around, and ask for referrals.
Insist that salespeople compare savings with the specific long-distance package you're already using (not with your carrier's general rates).
Ask about coverage; some resellers service only limited geographic areas.
Just in case, make sure that you can go back to your former phone company without hassles.
For a list of resellers in your area, write to TRA, P.O. Box 8361, McLean, VA 22106-8361. -- Phaedra Hise* * *
Lexicon of Long-Distance Reselling
Facilities-based carrier: A long-distance provider, such as AT&T, MCI, or Sprint, that owns or otherwise controls its own physical network.
Reseller: A company that purchases large blocks of long-distance- transmission capacity from facilities-based carriers at wholesale prices and markets portions to small users. A reseller usually sends out its own bills and assumes responsibility for phone service.
Aggregator: An independent middleman who first rounds up a cadre of small users and then buys a packaged discount from a facilities-based carrier, passing on to the users a percentage of the savings. Bills and service generally come directly from the carrier.

Wild Hunt
The Wild Hunt is an ancient folk myth prevalent across Northern, Western and Central Europe.[1] The fundamental premise in all instances is the same: a phantasmal, spectral group of huntsmen with the accoutrements of hunting, with horses and hounds in mad pursuit across the skies or along the ground, or just above it.[2]
The hunters may be the dead or fairies (often in folklore connected with the dead).[3] The hunter may be an unidentified lost soul, a deity or spirit either male or female, or may be a historical or legendary figure like Theodoric the Great, the Danish king Valdemar Atterdag, the Welsh psychopomp Gwyn ap Nudd or the Germanic Woden[1] (or other reflections of the same god, such as Alemannic Wuodan in Wuotis Heer ("Wuodan's Army") of Central Switzerland, Swabia etc.).
It has been variously referred to as Wilde Jagd (German: "wild hunt/chase") or Wildes Heer (German: "wild host"), Herlaþing (Old English: "Herla's assembly"), Woden's Hunt, Herod's Hunt, Cain's Hunt,[4] the Devil's Dandy Dogs (in Cornwall),[5] Gabriel's Hounds (in northern England),[6] Ghost Riders (in North America),[7] Mesnée d'Hellequin (Old North French: "household of Hellequin"), Cŵn Annwn (Welsh: "hounds of Annwn"), divoký hon or štvaní (Czech: "wild hunt", "baiting"), Dziki Gon or Dziki Łów (Polish), Oskoreia or Åsgårdsreia (originally oskurreia) (Norwegian: "noisy riders", "The Ride of Asgard"),[8] Odens jakt or Vilda jakten (Swedish: "the hunt of Odin" or "wild hunt"). divja jaga, meaning "the wild hunting party" or "wild hunt", in Slovene; Caccia Morta (Dead hunt) or Caccia selvaggia (wild hunt) in Italian; Estantiga (from Hoste Antiga, Galician: "the old army"), Hostia, Compaña and Santa Compaña ("troop, company") in Galicia, Güestia in Asturias, Hueste de Ánimas ("troop of ghosts") in León and Hueste de Guerra ("war company") or Cortejo de Gente de Muerte ("deadly retinue") in Extremadura.
Seeing the Wild Hunt was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it.[9] Mortals getting in the path of or following the Hunt could be kidnapped and brought to the land of the dead. A girl who saw Wild Edric's Ride was warned by her father to put her apron over her head to avoid the sight.[10] Others believed that people's spirits could be pulled away during their sleep to join the cavalcade.[11]
In Germany, where it was also known as the "Wild Army", or "Furious Army", its leader was given various identities, including Wodan (or "Woden"), Knecht Ruprecht (cf. Krampus), Berchtold (or Berchta), and Holda (or "Holle"). The Wild Hunt is also known from post-medieval folklore.
"Another class of spectres will prove more fruitful for our investigation: they, like the ignes fatui, include unchristened babes, but instead of straggling singly on the earth as fires, they sweep through forest and air in whole companies with a horrible din. This is the widely spread legend of the furious host, the furious hunt, which is of high antiquity, and interweaves itself, now with gods, and now with heroes. Look where you will, it betrays its connexion [sic] with heathenism."
The concept of the Wild Hunt was developed by the German folklorist Jacob Grimm, who first published it in his 1835 book Deutsche Mythologie.[13] It was in this work that he popularised the term Wilde Jagd ("Wild Hunt") for the phenomenon.[13] Grimm's methodological approach was rooted in the idea – common in nineteenth-century Europe – that modern folklore represented a fossilized survival of the beliefs of the distant past. As such, in developing his idea of the Wild Hunt, he mixed together recent folkloric sources with textual evidence dating to the Medieval and Early Modern periods.[14] This approach came to be discredited within the field of folkloristics during the twentieth century, as the dynamic and evolving nature of folklore was recognised.[14]
Grimm interpreted the Wild Hunt phenomenon as having pre-Christian origins, arguing that the male figure who appeared in it was a survival of folk beliefs about the god Wodan, who had "lost his sociable character, his near familiar features, and assumed the aspect of a dark and dreadful power... a spectre and a devil."[12] Grimm believed that this male figure was sometimes replaced by a female counterpart, whom he referred to as Holda and Berchta.[15] In his words, "not only Wuotan and other gods, but heathen goddesses too, may head the furious host: the wild hunter passes into the wood-wife, Wôden into frau Gaude."[16] He added his opinion that this female figure was Woden's wife.[17]
Discussing martial elements of the Wild Hunt, Grimm commented that "it marches as an army, it portends the outbreak of war."[18] He added that a number of figures that had been recorded as leading the hunt, such as "Wuotan, Huckelbernd, Berholt, bestriding their white war-horse, armed and spurred, appear still as supreme directors of the war for which they, so to speak, give licence to mankind."[18]
Grimm believed that in pre-Christian Europe, the hunt, led by a god and a goddess, either visited "the land at some holy tide, bringing welfare and blessing, accepting gifts and offerings of the people" or they alternately float "unseen through the air, perceptible in cloudy shapes, in the roar and howl of the winds, carrying on war, hunting or the game of ninepins, the chief employments of ancient heroes: an array which, less tied down to a definite time, explains more the natural phenomenon."[19] He believed that under the influence of Christianisation, the story was converted from being that of a "solemn march of gods" to being "a pack of horrid spectres, dashed with dark and devilish ingredients".[19]
The anthropologist Hans Peter Duerr noted that for modern readers, it "is generally difficult to decide, on the basis of the sources, whether what is involved in the reports about the appearance of the Wild Hunt is merely a demonic interpretation of natural phenomenon, or whether we are dealing with a description of ritual processions of humans changed into demons."[20]
Regional variations[edit]
In England, the historical figures St. Guthlac (683–714) and Hereward the Wake (died ca. 1070) were reported to have participated in the Wild Hunt;[citation needed] and, in the Peterborough Chronicle, there is an account of the Wild Hunt's appearance at night, beginning with the appointment of a disastrous abbot for the monastery, Henry d'Angely, in 1127:
Many men both saw and heard a great number of huntsmen hunting. The huntsmen were black, huge, and hideous, and rode on black horses and on black he-goats, and their hounds were jet black, with eyes like saucers, and horrible. This was seen in the very deer park of the town of Peterborough, and in all the woods that stretch from that same town to Stamford, and in the night the monks heard them sounding and winding their horns.[21]
Reliable witnesses were said to have given the number of huntsmen as twenty or thirty, and it is said, in effect, that this went on for nine weeks, ending at Easter.[21] Orderic Vitalis (1075–c. 1142), an English monk cloistered at St Evroul-en-Ouche, in Normandy, reported a similar cavalcade seen in January 1091, which he said were "Herlechin's troop" (familia Herlechini; cf. Harlequin).[22]
While these earlier reports of Wild Hunts were recorded by clerics and portrayed as diabolic, in late medieval romances, such as Sir Orfeo, the hunters are rather from a faery otherworld, where the Wild Hunt was the hosting of the fairies; its leaders also varied, but they included Gwydion, Gwynn ap Nudd, King Arthur, Nuada, King Herla, Woden, the Devil and Herne the Hunter. Many legends are told of their origins, as in that of "Dando and his dogs" or "the dandy dogs": Dando, wanting a drink but having exhausted what his huntsmen carried, declared he would go to hell for it. A stranger came and offered a drink, only to steal Dando's game and then Dando himself, with his dogs giving chase. The sight was long claimed to have been seen in the area.[23] Another legend recounted how King Herla, having visited the Fairy King, was warned not to step down from his horse until the greyhound he carried jumped down; he found that three centuries had passed during his visit, and those of his men who dismounted crumbled to dust; he and his men are still riding, because the greyhound has yet to jump down.[24]
The myth of the Wild Hunt has through the ages been modified to accommodate other gods and folk heroes, among them King Arthur and, more recently, in a Dartmoor folk legend, Sir Francis Drake. At Cadbury Castle in Somerset an old lane near the castle was called King Arthur's Lane and even in the 19th century the idea survived that on wild winter nights the king and his hounds could be heard rushing along it.[25]
In certain parts of Britain, the hunt is said to be that of hell-hounds chasing sinners or the unbaptised. In Devon these are known as Yeth (Heath) or Wisht Hounds, in Cornwall Dando and his Dogs or the Devil and his Dandy Dogs, in Wales the Cwn Annwn, the Hounds of Hell, and in Somerset as Gabriel Ratchets or Retchets (dogs).[26] In Devon the hunt is particularly associated with Wistman's Wood.[27]
An abundance of different tales of the Wild Hunt are recorded in Germany. In most tales, the identity of the hunter is not made clear, in others, it is:
- a mythological figure named Waul, Waur, Waurke, Wod, Wode, Wotk, or Wuid, who is thought to be derived from the ancient Germanic god of the wind and the dead, Wodan;
- a mythological figure named Frie, Fuik, Fu, Holda or Holle, who is thought to be derived from the Germanic goddess Freya or Frigg;
- an undead noble, most often called Count Hackelberg or Count Ebernburg, who is cursed to hunt eternally because of misbehaviour during his lifetime, and in some versions died from injuries of a slain boar's tusk.
Sometimes, the tales associate the hunter with a dragon or the devil. The hunter is most often riding a horse, seldom a horse-drawn carriage, and usually has several hounds in his company. If the prey is mentioned, it is most often a young woman, either guilty or innocent. The majority of the tales deal with some person encountering the Wild Hunt. If this person stands up against the hunters, he will be punished. If he helps the hunt, he will be awarded money, gold or, most often, a leg of a slain animal or human, which is often cursed in a way that makes it impossible to be rid of it. In this case, the person has to find a priest or magician able to ban it, or trick the Wild Hunt into taking the leg back by asking for salt, which the hunt can not deliver. In many versions, a person staying right in the middle of the road during the encounter is safe.[28][29][30]
In Scandinavia, Odin's hunt was heard but rarely seen, and a typical trait is that one of Odin's dogs was barking louder and a second one fainter. Beside one or two shots, these barks were the only sounds that were clearly identified. When Odin's hunt was heard, it meant changing weather in many regions, but it could also mean war and unrest. According to some reports, the forest turned silent and only a whining sound and dog barks could be heard.[1]
In western Sweden and sometimes in the east as well, it has been said that Odin was a nobleman or even a king who had hunted during the Sundays and therefore was doomed to hunt down and kill supernatural beings until the end of time.[1] According to certain accounts, Odin does not ride, but travels in a wheeled vehicle, specifically a one-wheeled cart.[31]
In parts of Småland, it appears that people believed that Odin hunted with large birds when the dogs got tired. When it was needed, he could transform a bevy of sparrows into an armed host.[1]
If houses were built on former roads, they could be burnt down, because Odin did not change his plans if he had formerly travelled on a road there. Not even charcoal kilns could be built on disused roads, because if Odin was hunting the kiln would be ablaze.[1]
One tradition maintains that Odin did not travel further up than an ox wears his yoke, so if Odin was hunting, it was safest to throw oneself onto the ground in order to avoid being hit. In Älghult in Småland, it was safest to carry a piece of bread and a piece of steel when going to church and back during Yule. The reason was that if one met the rider with the broad-rimmed hat, one should throw the piece of steel in front of oneself, but if one met his dogs first, one should throw the pieces of bread instead.[1]

Connections to the witches' sabbath[edit]
Historian Ronald Hutton noted that there was "a powerful and well-established international scholarly tradition" which argued that the Medieval Wild Hunt legends were an influence on the development of the Early Modern ideas of the witches' Sabbath.[13] Hutton nevertheless believed that this approach could be "fundamentally challenged".[13]
In modern culture[edit]
The Wild Hunt is featured in Karl Maria von Weber's 1821 opera Der Freischütz, in one of Franz Liszt's Transcendental Études of 1837 and in Arnold Schönberg's oratorio Gurre-Lieder of 1911. The subject of Stan Jones' 1948 American country song "Ghost Riders in the Sky", which tells of cowboys chasing the Devil's cattle through the night sky, resembles the European myth. Cartoonist Gary Larson referenced this in a cartoon involving "Ghost Riders in the Kitchen". Swedish folk musician The Tallest Man on Earth released an album in 2010 entitled The Wild Hunt. The Wild Hunt is a 2009 Canadian drama/horror film from Animist Films, produced and directed by Alexandre Franchi. In 2013, Swedish black metal band Watain released an album titled The Wild Hunt.
A short story from 1861 by Spanish writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer entitled "El monte de las ánimas" features a version of the Wild Hunt that appears on Halloween. William Butler Yeats evoked the Wild Hunt in his 1893 poem "The Hosting of the Sidhe". The Wild Hunt is also referenced in Cormac McCarthy's 1979 novel Suttree, and it forms a major element of the plot in Philip Pullman's 1982 children's novel Count Karlstein. The Wild Hunt also appears in the Wild Cards anthology Dealer's Choice, led by Gabriel Hardesty channeling the spirit of Herne the Hunter.
The Wild Hunt motif has appeared in various forms of literature, such as Alan Garner's The Moon of Gomrath and Brian Bates' The Way of Wyrd.[40] In King Stakh's Wild Hunt by Uladzimir Karatkievich the Wild Hunt is a group of Belarusian noblemen which uses an ancient myth to frighten peasants into submission. The Wild Hunt appears frequently in modern fantasy fiction by writers such as Peter Beagle, Cassandra Clare, Susan Cooper, Charles de Lint, Raymond E. Feist, Alan Garner, Laurell K. Hamilton, Robert Jordan, Guy Gavriel Kay, Penelope Lively, C. Robert Cargill, Andrzej Sapkowski, Michael Scott, Robin Lafevers (Mortal Heart) and Mary Stewart. It was used as the album cover for the 1988 metal album Blood Fire Death by Bathory. It also features in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer novel Child of the Hunt, in Jim Butcher's urban fantasy series Dresden Files, where the Wild Hunt is led by the Erlking, later named as Herne the Hunter, and is the central plot feature in Fred Vargas' crime fiction novel The Ghost Riders of Ordebec. In the 1958 British science fiction serial Quatermass and the Pit, ancestors of the human race, manipulated in prehistoric times by an ancient civilization of Martians, pass along a Race Memory in which hives of the insect-like Martians are purged of mutations in savage warfare which one character refers to as "The Wild Hunt". The Wild Hunt is also featured in the video game franchise The Elder Scrolls and in the Witcher series of games, based on the fantasy writings of Andrzej Sapkowski.
In contemporary Paganism[edit]
"As far as practitioners of nature spiritualities are concerned, the Wild Hunt offers an initiation into the wild and an opening up of the senses; a sense of dissolution of self in confrontation with fear and death, an exposure to a 'whirlwind pulse that runs through life'. In short, engagement with the Hunt is a bid to restore a reciprocity and harmony between humans and nature."
Various practitioners of the contemporary Pagan religion of Wicca have drawn upon folklore involving the Wild Hunt to inspire their own rites.[42] The anthropologist Susan Greenwood provided an ethnographic account of one such Wild Hunt ritual performed by a Pagan group in Norfolk during the late 1990s, stating that they used this mythology "as a means of confronting the dark of nature as a process of initiation."[42] Referred to as the "Wild Hunt Challenge" by those running it, it took place on Halloween and involved participants walking around a local area of woodland in the daytime, and then repeating that task as a timed competition at night, "to gain mastery over an area of Gwyn ap Nudd's hunting ground". If completed successfully, it was held that the participant had gained the trust of the wood's spirits, and they would be permitted to cut timber from its trees with which to make a staff.[43] The anthropologist Rachel Morgain noted that when conducting ethnographic research among the Reclaiming tradition of Wicca in San Francisco, she too came across a "ritual recreation" of the Wild Hunt.[44]
