The Queen of Annwyn
limited edition of 250 prints
Welsh mythology tells us that on stormy nights when the wind is howling
the Wild Hunt led by the Gwyn ap Nudd—the King of Annwyn—rides
the skies in search of travelers to take to his Celtic underworld
realm. Accompanied by his white hounds with their red ears, he leaves
behind one to wait with his queen. The Queen of Annwyn is mystically
beautiful and serene as she sits perched in an old oak tree.
The land of Annwyn is associated with both death and faery, and she
is queen of both. In her hair are leaves, blossoms, and berries of
Belladonna—also known as deadly nightshade.
