April 23 is #StGeorgesDay #GreenMan Day and, by sacred synchronicity, #Cernunnos Day! So it is a very magical day. #Antinous says: Gather dew to break a curse. Also a Lucky Day to find hidden treasure so get out your metal detector or go to a flea market. In Catalonia, it's a day for love spells.

Of interest for some.

#WyrdWednesday: `In #Celtic mythology, #Cernunnos is the antlered stag-god, a dispenser of prosperity who offers his wisdom and prowess, his strength and masculine powers, fecund and immortalizing as a guide through the onset of winter. He brings the vision of immortality, renewal and resurrection to the peoples of the earth. In his horned, animal aspect, he controls the animals.
Beasts bow their heads in obeisance to his horned, black image and humans look to him for guidance in controlling their amassed wealth and stored grains for the winter.`

I wrote a little poem about Cernunnos as a symbol of liminality:

October 18th is the feast of the Horned God #Herne #Cernunnos. In his oldest guises he is Pan, and the dancing shaman wearing the skin and antlers of the stag. We honor #Antinous-Cernunnos as a form of Pan. Full tribute: https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-festival-of-cernunnos.html Art by #MirandaBaggins

Finally finding time to play around on this laser this morning, and I engraved on a piece of metal I picked up a couple of years ago while walking the dog. I pick up a lot of rusty metal. There's something about it I adore. I'm super excited to add this little Cernunnos to a beloved, found object!

The polytheistic religion of the ancient Celts in Iron Age Europe remains obscure for lack of written records, but archaeology and accounts by classical authors help us to piece together a number of the key gods, sacred sites, and cult practices. https://www.worldhistory.org/Ancient_Celtic_Religion/ #History #AncientCelticReligion #Celts #Cernunnos

The ancient Celtic pantheon consisted of over 400 gods and goddesses who represented everything from rivers to warfare. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1715/the-ancient-celtic-pantheon/ #History #AncientCelticReligion #Cernunnos #Druid

Why do we believe that #Cernunnos who is shown
- with no weapons or armor
- surrounded peacefully by all kinds of animals
- (most of the time) in a sitting position
- and with antlers (the sign of a herbivore animal) on his head (as like he has antlers, not only like he wears some)
- why do we believe that a god that is depicted like this, is a hunter? Why a hunter and not a peacfull guardian of wildlife and the forests?

The Book of Cernunnos is now available:

#Pagan #Polytheist #Cernunnos

In the cradle of whispers where ancient spirits dwell,
A voice resonates from nature's deep and sacred well.
The god of the wild, in his voice, a powerful spell,
Decrees his return, in every tree and every dell.

"Awaken, ye slumbering lands, stir from your dreamful rest,
The time has come to recall my rule, by primal rites, it's blessed.
I've heard the secret lullabies of the wind from the west,
I reclaim my throne, by the sun and moon, be it professed.

He, who wears the mantle of moss, and the crown of hawthorn leaves,
Under whose reign, the wolf howls, and the wise raven believes,
Returns now to his rightful throne, as the universe itself perceives,
In the wild heart of the world, a tapestry of life he weaves.

The rivers shall dance once again to my ancient, drumming beat,
The mountains shall bow to my power, in my presence, discreet,
The forest shall whisper my lore, each tale they shall repeat,
For I am the wild's true king, its symphony I complete.

Mankind, heed this prophecy, inscribed in the stones and the streams,
In the flight of the falcon, in the stag's powerful gleams,
I reclaim my throne, let it echo in your dreams,
For I am the god of the wild, and I am not as distant as it seems

In the religion of the ancient Celts who lived in Iron Age Europe from 700 BCE to 400 CE, certain natural sites like springs, river sources, and groves were held as sacred. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1710/sacred-sites--rituals-in-the-ancient-celtic-religi/ #History #AncientCelticReligion #Celts #Cernunnos
