“Hail the Horned God,

Ancient guardian of the wood,

Keeper of all things wild and free,

Ye shall dance, and I shall sing,

Hunter, knower, seeker upon thy quest,

He who stands in the darkness,

He who trembles not and never,

Lord of now and forever,

Lord of life, lord of death,

Lord of feasts, lord of beasts

We, we evoke thee!”

Cernunnos

Cernunnos is the Celtic god of life, fertility, wealth, animals, and the underworld.

“At the Sacred Centre, in the Grove of all Worlds, He sits with legs crossed beneath an ancient Oak. Entranced, connecting the three worlds Earth, Sea, and Sky, and the worlds behind the worlds, the god and the Great Tree are One, His immense limbs widespread, stretching into distant sky and starry space.”

Cernunnos is considered to be one of the oldest gods in Celtic origins. It is believed that he was around even when dinosaurs were around. When humans came around Cernunnos became even more relevant as he began to be painted and carved into caves abroad.

Cernunnos is the son of Anu. Cernunnos was brought to complete the circle of life.

Appearance:

Cernunnos is depicted as being half human while wearing an antler crown. Cernunnos is the leader of hunt and harvest rules. Not only does Cernunnos have a deep connection with animals; Cernunnos is considered to be ‘The Guardian of The Green World’ and is one with the trees. His branching antlers symbolize the tops of trees spreading wide. Wisdom of Cernunnos consists of “the old must pass away to make way for the new”. Along with this Cernunnos is also a god of The Underworld, he comforts and sings to the dead souls to their rest. Cernunnos also pursues the souls of evil beings. Another form of Cernunnos is known as Pan. Pan is a proud celebration and has quite the sexual energy. Pan is not associated with human interest or violence, rather the life and death of The Natural World. If this domain is threatened, you are subject to fear or panic being induced upon you.

Interesting fact about Cernunnos is that he was mentioned by William Shakespeare himself as Herne the Hunter, the demon and guardian of Windsor Forest, the Royal Wood.
