Herla is of English origin. I'm not sure of the meaning, but I have seen several referances to 'Herla cyning', an Old English term, as to it's definition.1) Name of a king of ancient Briton that stumbled into the faerie realm. Tricked by the faerie folk to attend a wedding of their king. When he tried to return, three days later, he found that he had been gone from his realm for over 300 hundred years. More devilry meant his years would fall upon him if he were to dismount from his horse so it is legend that he and his entourage are still galloping about the countryside to this day. 2) Also, in the book "Firebringer", 'Herla' is what the wild deer called themselves.“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge - myth is more potent than history - dreams are more powerful than facts - hope always triumphs over experience - laughter is the cure for grief - love is stronger than death”
