Cernunnos/ Herne the Hunter

Tuesday November 30, 1999



Cernunnos is the mysterious horned deity worshipped by Iron age Celts across Europe until the end of the first century. Very little is known about Cernunnos except his name and his image, which appears on numerous stonecarvings and other artifacts throughout Europe. He appears crowned with stag's antlers, is often seated in a meditative position, and is almost always depicted with images of wild animals. More: Cernunnos

On the rasta religious calendar, today is Ethiopian New Year.
