Spells: Beginning at 1st level, a Huntsmen gains the ability to cast a number of divine spells.

Huntsman bonus spells are based on Wisdom, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the huntsman's Wisdom bonus. When the huntsman gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Wisdom score for that spell level.
