Herne the Hunter

Herne the Hunter  was an enigmatic figure who lived in Sherwood Forest. He was played by John Abineri. A shamanic figure who often incarnates a forest spirit representing the powers of light and darkness, teaching, directing, and assisting the Hooded Man and his companions.

It was Herne who gave Robin of Loxley a longbow, and the magical sword Albion.

Richard Carpenter stated that Herne was based on the Pagan idea of the Horned God.
