Glaslyn Gateway: Irish wolfhounds

ORIGINS

In irish and welsh mythology a place exists called the ‘otherworld’. Arawn, King of Ännwn is believed to set the Cwn Annwn loose to hunt mundane creatures. These Cwn Annwn, Dogs of hell, partake in the wild hunt where their goal is to hunt wrongdoers into the ground until they can run no longer, just as the criminals did to their victims. They also came to be regarded as the escorts of souls on their journey to the Otherworld.

Glaslyn is to be believed a gateway from which mortals can take to journey down into this Otherworld, a place of plenty and eternal youth.
