✦ About
Cernunnos is the ancient Celtic god of the wild, depicted with the antlers of a stag. His name means "The Horned One," and he represents the untamed forces of nature, the animal kingdom, and the cycle of life and death.
Images of Cernunnos appear on the famous Gundestrup Cauldron, showing him seated in a lotus position surrounded by animals, holding a torc (neck ring) and a serpent. He is often shown as the lord of beasts, connected to fertility, abundance, and the underworld.
As a god of the threshold between civilization and wilderness, Cernunnos represents the primal masculine power that modern society has largely forgotten. He is the wild god of the forest, calling humans to remember their connection to the natural world.
✦ Famous Story
In ancient times, hunters would pray to Cernunnos before the hunt, asking his blessing and promising to take only what was needed. He was the balance between humanity and the wild, the mediator between the human and animal worlds.
