@juergen_hubert I think you have shared this before because I did borrow a variation of that phrase, "The hunt is better than Heaven, and as long as we are able to hunt for all eternity we never want to enter Heaven.”
In my tale, I have Gwyn app Nudd (although in physicality he is Gwyn, he is the embodiment of all psychopomps - and acts a bit like Discworld's Death). But I also have Diana, the hunter, leading the Hunt, but she is also an embodiment of all hunter deities.
