Deities: Celtic

 

Cernunnos 

    Cernunnos (Cair-NUH-nos) has Celtic origins and unfortunately does not have too much information on him. He is also known as The Horned God and The Green Man. There are also a variety of horned Gods which have been found from the Gallo-Roman period most of which were in eastern Gaul as well as among the Celtiberians. He is depicted with antlers, typically seated cross-legged and associated with stags, horned serpents, dogs, bulls, and rats. Cernunnos can also be seen depicted wearing or holding a torc, also spelled torq or torque. A torc is a stiff neck ring made of metal typically twisted together. Most are open while some had clasps. Torcs are found in the Scythian, Illyrian, Thracian, Celtic, and a few other cultures of the European Iron Age (from around 8th century BC to the 3rd century AD). This certainly does help to confirm that Cernunnos's origins are Celtic.
