Cernunnos

I have discovered a new God, well in a fassion, he hs a god that has very ancient roots and one of which has always been in my awareness, but just recently I have been for reasons I cannot explain feeling a particulary strong draw towards him, and a sudden fascination with him, and his image prevades in my thoughts. It is almost as if he is calling to me, for reasons I cannot yet understand.

I am speaking of Cernunnos, or as he is often called The Horned One. There is not much known about him today, so unfortunately there is little I can say of him, as he comes from the ancient Druadic tradition, which was an oral culture, and so there really are no written accounts of Cernunnos, the way he had aquired the name The Horned One, is becasue he is depicted as a man with a stags antlers.

The one thing that is known of him, is that he was the God of fertility, the beasts, life, and the underworld or as the Celtis frequently knew it, the Otherworld. It is also said that he was born in the winter solistice, and marries the Goddess during Beltane, then dies in the sumer solistice, and he is portrayed in connection with the sun, for it is said that he alternates with the Goddess of the Moon in rulting over life and death and contintue the cycle of death and rebrith.
