History
The Wild Hunt was founded in 2004 by Jason Pitzl. Pitzl was the sole writer for The Wild Hunt for its first seven years. In the summer of 2011, The Wild Hunt was recruited to Patheos, a central hub site that hosts blogs related to many religions.[5]
The Wild Hunt eventually left Patheos returning to a stand-alone entity. In the fall of 2012, Pitzl brought on the first two weekly contributors and four monthly columnists. In 2014, Pitzl retired from his position. Heather Greene took over as managing editor and publisher.
With Greene's retirement from The Wild Hunt,[6] Manny Moreno became Editor-in-Chief/Publisher in 2018.
American musician Matt Morris was a contributor before his return to Christianity.[7]
