'Herne the Hunter' by Barnaby Edwards.

EN below 👇 LE CORNU, masque rituel recto / verso. Il sera présenté à l’exposition VISIONS au @museedupaysdehanau en février prochain. Il fait partie d’une série de quatre masques, chacun étant lié à une saison et un moment du cycle de la vie. A la fois Memento Mori et célébration de renaissance, Le Cornu est lié à l’hiver et au solstice. Il fait écho comme ses frères aux masques des charivaris cathartiques germaniques, coutume remontant probablement à l’époque pré chrétienne et toujours pratiquées aujourd’hui. // THE HORNED, ritual mask recto verso. This one is a part of a series of four included in my next solo show. Each one is linked to a season and a part of the life cycle. This one is winter / death and rebirth. It’s an echo of Germanic folklore in which I grew up as an Alsacian. . . . . #falseface #mask #ritualmask #fastnacht #carnaval #charivari #winter #cerf #cernunnos #lecornu #hornedgod #stag #herne #hernethehunter #mementomori #naifnoir #folkart #minamond #neofolk #outsiderfolk #outsiderart https://www.instagram.com/p/CJH3h0bA7A2/?igshid=hi0pp1qwmiwq

Inktober N° 15 — Herne the Hunter. In English folklore Herne the Hunter was the ghost of a forest hunter who had hanged himself on Herne’s oak. Spirits, however, are often euhemerized into ghosts of human people, and many people think that Herne the Hunter, with the stags’ horns on his head, was a woodland spirit or a demon of the oak. 🌳 #fawnlorn #matthayton #illustration #inktober #inktober2019 #folklore #hernethehunter https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pKCqbnOQg/?igshid=98nfzjv1lwwm

Inktober N° 9 — Herne the Hunter. In English folklore Herne the Hunter was the ghost of a forest hunter who had hanged himself on Herne’s oak. Spirits, however, are often euhemerized into ghosts of human people, and many people think that Herne the Hunter, with the stags’ horns on his head, was a woodland spirit or a demon of the oak. One story tells of three young men who were up to mischief in the forest and started breaking down the young trees. One lad found an old hunters horn and ignoring the protests of the other two lads who told him to “leave it lay and run like hell” decided to blow it. The horn gave such a groan and a blast that he nearly fainted and as he stood shaking there was a terrible yell among the trees and great hounds baying. He took off running too but he couldn’t catch up with the other lads who were going hell for leather and run as he might he kept stumbling and could hear feet behind him. Once the other lads were safe indoors, they saw their friend staggering. He was nearly to the door when the pursuer stopped; they heard the twang of an arrow and the lad threw up his arms and screamed and fell flat on his face in the porch, quite dead. There was no arrow through him, and there were no hounds and no hunter. 🌳 #fawnlorn #matthayton #illustration #inktober #inktober2018 #folklore #hernethehunter https://www.instagram.com/p/Bot4aQ3AB5U/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19x480r3xn86d
