Gwyn ap Nudd
For many centuries, Gwyn ap Nudd has been one of the most mysterious figures in Celtic mythology. Gwyn is a Welsh god of the underworld, a psychopomp of sorts who leads souls to their final rest. He is also known for his association with the wild hunt, a mythological procession in which riders on horses would travel across the sky in search of prey.
Gwyn is also associated with hunting, warfare, and the dispersal of souls. He is depicted as a fierce warrior, often leading an army of dead spirits against their living enemies. The Welsh triads describe Gwyn as the leader of an "otherworld" army called the Wild Hunt. This mythological army consisted of fierce warrior women, who were said to be able to take any form they pleased.
Gwyn ap Nudd is also thought to be one of the oldest gods of Celtic mythology, having been recorded as far back as the 8th century. He is believed to be a combination of two legendary figures: Gwyn son of Nudd and Gwythyr ap Greidawl. It is thought that the two figures were eventually conflated into one, creating Gwyn ap Nudd as he is known today.
Gwyn is often depicted as a mysterious figure, shrouded in secrecy and mystery. He is associated with the wild hunt, death, and the spirit world. He is a powerful figure in Welsh mythology and continues to be an important figure in modern Celtic spirituality.
