Weather Report, November 2
All Souls’, blustery and chill. I hear them before I see them,
six lines scribbling across the white sky. I look up at the tiny
crosses beating above me. The pain is new each year,
and I’m surprised, even though I expect it the sudden cold,
the geese passing over.
— From Dakota by Kathleen Norris
I love Kathleen Norris’ simple but striking evocation of the mood of November 2nd.
The melancholy of the geese passing overhead, warns of the arrival of winter and resonates
with the image of the Wild Hunt, the horde of wandering souls that flew through the winter
night sky, sometimes disguised as swans or wild geese or the wind. In Scandinavia,
they were led by Odin, in England by Herne the Hunter, but in earlier times,
in the Mediterranean they were led by goddesses.
