Book Endorsement: Herne the Hunter - God of the Forest
Herne the Hunter is a folkloric figure much loved by modern pagans, but his origins are mysterious. Andrew Anderson explores that mystery in his book Herne the Hunter, which comes out soon and is published by Moon Books. I was lucky enought to read it before it went to press and wrote this endorsement:
“Herne – is he a pagan god, the ghost of hanged man, an English folk hero, a spirit of the wildwood, or a character created by Shakespeare to entertain Elizabethan audiences?
“Andrew Anderson’s Herne the Hunter shows that he has been depicted as all of these. Fascinating and meticulously researched, this book takes a deep dive into the history, legends, myths, and creative interpretations that have turned a horned man said to haunt the woods of Windsor into one of the most popular archetypes honoured in modern paganism.
“As a student of literature, I was personally fascinated to learn that Herne’s metamorphosis is primarily due to the way writers have re-imagined him, from Shakespearean theatre, to Gothic novels, to television’s Robin of Sherwood and even descriptions in books that come with oracle cards. Andrew Anderson shows the power of storytelling in shaping the way we envisage both forces of nature and deities.”
Herne the Hunter is beautifully written and full of excellent research. I highly recommend it.
