Herne the Hunter

On this day in 1906, the ancient tree, Herne’s Oak was replanted in Windsor Park, Berkshire. According to legend, Herne was a skilled hunter who saved the life of King Henry VIII by placing himself between the monarch and a charging stag. Herne was made Henry’s chief huntsman as a reward, but jealous gossip ultimately led to the hero’s dismissal from the king’s service. A distraught Herne then killed himself. But his story did not end there. In death, Herne transformed in a giant stag-masked hunting god, and has haunted the woods of Windsor Park ever since, leading phantom hounds in a never-ending pursuit of spectral stags. Herne was believed to be real enough, appearing in Shakespeare’s Merry Wives of Windsor to terrify a drink-addled Falstaff. The unwary are advised to flee at the sight of Herne, whose bow has been known to seek human victims as well as the creatures of the forest.

Herne is almost certainly a Tudor memory of the Celtic god of the Underworld, the winter deity, stag-headed Cernunnos. The god’s manifestation, like that of Herne, is best avoided by mortals.

However, this drama may be unfolding for a specific reason, one that affects the entire family. Bella magazine reports that Charles has "bigger concerns", and his recent actions may be a deliberate attempt to protect the Firm's reputation. Royal commentator Phil Dampier stated: "Some (royal homes) need to be sold off and others turned into museums, or the public will start to ask questions as to the cost of them." A source added to the magazine: "It's ensuring clarity on the roles of the people associated with the institution. An eviction would communicate that no member - regardless of their birthright - is beyond reproach."

~ Matt Davies, Daily Record, "King Charles's major concern could be real reason behind Prince Andrew's Royal Lodge row"

Scarf Sunday 14 May 1994

For my last scarf Sunday, I chose what I consider one of the most poignant of scarves.

Her Majesty The Queen In Windsor Great Park and for the Windsor Horse Show. She is wearing the Hermés The Royal Mews Buckingham Palace Scarf By Jean De Fougerolle and issued in 1994. This scarf has never been re-issued since. During his visit to London in 1990 Jean Louis Dumas, Hermes chairman and artistic director, toured the Royal Mews.  He was fascinated with not just the stables themselves, but by the exquisit

Windsor coaches he encountered there.  Dumas enlisted his longtime friend and artist Jean de Fougerolle, who after visiting the Mews himself, created this beautiful scarf.

The scarf features the entrance to The Mews is at the center of the scarf flanked by the Queen’s Equerry and the Master of Horses, who are facing each other.  The five royal coaches, The Gold State Coach, Queen Alexandra’s State Coach, the Irish State Coach, the Barouche and the 1902 State Landau Royal Mews carriage form a wide circle around the center.

The design was presented to H.M. the Queen Elizabeth II at the 1993 Royal Windsor Horse Show and was exclusively available in Britain for the remainder of that year before its worldwide release. She owned this in more than one color as the Ivory version was laid across Emma, the Queen’s favourite pony in a poignant moment at the Queen’s funeral

Okay but what if this in The Owl House:

"Love, Willow has found, has a way of growing backwards. You fall in love with a person in the present, and then every person you've ever been gets to fall in love with every past version of them.

A goofy and still unsure new plant track student falls in love with a boy putting on a golden mask for the first time. A failure of an abomination track witch falls in love with the youngest and brightest coven scout. A little girl, abandoned by her only friend, who enjoys playing in the dirt falls in love with a creature which emerges from the earth itself, pulled out by its evil creator."
