Cernunnos

Cernunnos (also Cernenus^[1] and Cern) is a Celtic god whose representations were widespread in the ancient Celtic lands of western Europe. Cernunnos is associated with horned male animals, especially stags and the [2]
Cernunnos is also associated mainly as the God of the Underworld.
Everything known about this deity comes from two inscriptions from France and one from Germany.

Cernunnos was proposed to have been identified as the illustration on
the Snake-witch picture
stone, which shows a possibly horned figure holding snakes in
his/her hands, from Gotland, Sweden.

Archaeological sources such as inscriptions and depictions from Gaul and Northern Italy (Gallia Cisalpina) have been used to define Cernunnos.
The first artifact found to identify Cernunnos was the "Pillar of the Boatmen" (Pilier des nautes), a monument now displayed in the Musée National
du Moyen Age in Paris. It was constructed by Gaulish sailors in the
early first century CE, from the inscription (CIL XIII number 03026)
probably in the year 14, on the accession of the Tiberius.
It was found in 1710 in the foundations of the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris
on the site of Lutetia, the civitas capital of the Celtic tribe. It depicts Cernunnos
and other Celtic deities alongside Jupiter, Gallo-Roman religion.
On the Parisii inscription [_]ernunnos, the first letter of the name has been scraped off at some point, but can safely be restituted to
"Cernunnos" because of the depiction of an antlers in the image below
the name and that in Gaulish, carnon or cernon means "antler" or
"horn".
Additional evidence is given by two identical inscriptions on metal plaques from Steinsel-Rëlent in Luxembourg,
in the territory of the Celtic Treveri
tribe. These inscriptions read Deo Ceruninco, "to
the God Cerunincos". Lastly, a Gaulish inscription written in Greek letters
from Montagnac (Hérault, Languedoc-Roussilion, France)
reads αλλετ[ει]υος καρνονου αλ[ι]σο[ντ]εας thus giving the name
"Carnonos".
Several images without inscriptions are thought to represent Cernunnos. The earliest known probable depiction of Cernunnos was found at Italy,
dating from the 4th century BC, while the best known depiction is on the
Gundestrup cauldron found on Jutland,
dating to the 1st century BC. The Cauldron was likely to have been
stolen by the Germanic Cimbri
tribe or another tribe that inhabited Jutland
as it originated from south east Europe.

Etymological derivations

God of Etang-sur-Arroux, a
possible depiction of Cernunnos. He wears a torc at the
neck and on the chest. Two snakes with ram heads encircle
him at the waist. Two cavities at the top of his head are probably
designed to receive deer horns. Two small human faces at the back of his
head indicate that he is tricephalic.

Cern means "horn" or "bumb, boss" in Old Irish and is etymologically related to similar words carn in Welsh and Breton, and is the probable derivation of "Kernow" (Cornwall),
meaning horn'[of land]'. These are thought by some linguists to
derive from a Proto-Indo-European root *krno-
which also gave the Latin cornu and Germanic *hurnaz
(from which English "horn")

The same Gaulish root is found in the names of tribes such as the Carnutes, Carni, and Carnonacae and in the name of the Gaulish war trumpet, the carnyx.
The Proto-Celtic form of this theonym is reconstructed as either *Cerno-on-os
or *Carno-on-os, both meaning "great horned one". (The
augmentative -on- is frequently, but not exclusively, found in
theonyms, for example: Map-on-os, Ep-on-a, Matr-on-ae, Sir-on-a.)

Iconography

The depictions of Cernunnos are strikingly consistent throughout the Celtic world. His most distinctive attribute are his stag's horns, and he is usually
portrayed as a mature man with long hair and a beard. He wears a torc, an
ornate neck-ring used by the Celts to denote nobility. He often carries
other torcs in his hands or hanging from his horns, as well as a purse
filled with coins. He is usually portrayed seated and cross-legged, in a
position which some have interpreted as meditative
or shamanic, although it may only reflect the fact
that the Celts squatted on the ground when hunting.

Cernunnos is nearly always portrayed with animals, in particular the stag. He is also frequently associated with a unique beast that seems to belong primarily to him: a bulls (at Rheims), dogs, and rats. Because of his frequent association with creatures, scholars often describe
Cernunnos as the "Lord of the Animals" or the "Lord
of Wild Things", and Miranda Green describes him as a "peaceful god of
nature and fruitfulness".
Because of his association with stags (a particularly hunted beast) he
is also described as the "Lord of the Hunt".
Interestingly, the Pilier des nautes links him with sailors and
with commerce, suggesting that he was also associated with material
wealth as does the coin pouch from the Cernunnos of Rheims (Marne,
Champagne, France)—in antiquity, Durocortorum, the civitas
capital of the Remi tribe—and the stag vomiting coins from Niedercorn-Turbelslach
(Luxembourg) in the lands of the Treveri.
The god may have symbolised the fecundity of the stag-inhabited forest.



Neopaganism

In Wicca and other forms of Neopaganism a Horned God is revered; this divinity syncretises a number of horned or
antlered gods from various cultures, including Cernunnos. The Horned God
reflects the seasons of the year in an annual cycle of life, death and
rebirth.
In the tradition of Gardnerian Wicca, the Horned God is sometimes specifically referred to as Cernunnos, or sometimes also as Kernunno
Modern Druidry, which derives from Celtic culture honors
Cernunnos in his ancient Celto-European form as the guardian of the
forests, the defender of the animal tuatha (tribes), the source of the
deep forest wisdom, and the masculine half of creative energy. His
restorative work in the cycle of the year is particularly celebrated at Beltane
/ Beltaine, and is often paired with one or
another of the female deities in her maiden aspect. Druids
may call upon him in reference to vital, non-violent masculine divinity.
