Cernunnos: The Horned Pan of the Celts

The ancient Celts and Druids in the West had worshiped a horned God who went by the names of Cernunnos (KER-Symbols -  Cernunnosnoo-nos) by the Gauls, and in Old Irish literature as Uindos, Herne (Hermes), Hu Gadarn, and Hesus (Jesus). He was known as the most ancient and powerful Celtic deity who was called the “lord of wild and all things.” His sons were said to be Teutates, Esus, Taranis or Taranus who are sometimes referred to as his doubles.

The meaning of Cernunnos in Gaelic and Old English and Irish is the “horned one or he who has horns.” This God was usually depicted in artwork wearing stag antlers and was normally accompanied by his symbols of the stag, ram, bull and holding a horned and spotted serpent or worm.

The earliest known depictions of Cernunnos were found at Val Camonica, in northern Italy, which was under Celtic occupation from about 400 BC. The most famous was also portrayed on the Gundestrup Caldron (pictured above), which is a silver ritual vessel found at Gundestrup in Jutland, Denmark and dating to about the 1st century BC. The name “Jutland” would correspond with the Tribe of Judah who are also known as the Phoenicians and Greek Hellenes from Crete who I have written about extensively in articles such as The First Jews of Crete, and The Masonic Archons of the Tribe of Judah.

The Druid and Phoenician Coarbs of Ireland
