From life to death. To death from life. From life to death.
Cernunnos manifest and re-create through the mystery of death.
In darkness and in light give freedom to my footsteps
and guide me into your secret place.
There, grant me rest in your abundant peace.

Long ago a great ram-headed serpent began to devour the hunters of a tribe. The great shaman-hunter Ker was brought before the chief of the people, who asked him why such terrible misfortune had befallen the people…

Some time ago I was considering following a pantheon (either Irish-Celtic or Nordic, as I’m English-Irish). I inquired about this using Tarot, asking, “Should I become familiar with the Celtic or Norse divinities?” On reflection it was a dumb question, as it is my experience that Tarot (my prime method of communication with the divine) […]

After encountering this reference to Vita Merlini, as told by Geoffrey of Monmouth, I decided to check it out. I was especially intrigued by the references that Merlin donned antler horns and that the myth also contained references to the Major Arcana, at least according to R. J. Stewart, quoted below:
In the twelfth-century Vita Merlini […]

Happy New Year!
As you can see I’ve given the blog an overall, changed the title (formally known as ‘Between Old and New Moons’) to “Cernunnos’ Path” and have created a logo to represent my religious path through Pagan-Mythic symbolism.
The idea for the logo was largely the by-product of ritual I created and performed by […]

I am on Cernunnos’ Path
Is he the One or but one of the Many: I know not
Is he the Logos or the Mythos: I differentiate not.
Is he the Male or Female, both or neither: I know not
…not yet.
Woven within his labyrinthine antlers resides a mystery: I understand not.
I know his name is Cernunnos: His […]

Jeff has written an interesting post over at Druid Journal: The Druid Zodiac.
Astronomical Myths
I don’t know much about either astronomy or astrology. I have spent a great deal of time in the past looking up into the night sky watching the Big Dipper revolve around the Pole Star. I can point out Cassiopeia, recognize […]

Horns represent the primal power of nature, expressed through the strength of a bull or the unstoppable power of a charging herd of buffalo or caribou, the majesty and raw virility of a roaring stag with its antlers silhouetted against the morning sun. They also represent the lunar power in the heavens, lighting the night […]

Thank You Grian for responding to my post So who is this Cernunnos dude? (A to Z).
This post was originally a comment in response to Griane’s comment, but as is often the case it evolved into something worthy of posting status. Griane (Lee Hutchings of Panthea: All Things Are Goddess) has also posted her […]

It’s been a while but I’ve decided to continue on with the A to Z of Mythological Figures series. Everything you read or comment (yep, you can play along too!), is/must be from memory. It doesn’t matter if a few mistakes are made along the way. Also, if you know anything about Herne, you can […]

It was great to discover a recent post at Simple Magics: Solitary Series - Venturing into the Community. I’m uncertain where my interest in Paganism is taking me. I’ve recently delved deeper into Wicca. I’ve read various introductory stuff off the internet and Google Books, and have read (and skimmed) through Buckland’s Complete Book of […]

I’ve finally set up an altar, and have chosen an image of Cernunnos as a representation of my Panentheistic understanding of divinity. The arrangement is pretty simple to look at, although It is based on a wide range of mythic images, as I understand them.

The necklace represents the cosmic order […]

I classify Cernunnos (Celtic) as a threshold God. Other mythological characters of this type I include Noah (Hebrew), Dionysus (Greek), Shiva (Hindu), and many more, but for this brief article I want to focus on Cernunnos and the iconography surrounding this God, particularly the God’s headdress as shown on the Gundestrup cauldron (Denmark: 2nd to […]

Dream of Shiva
In my dream I saw Shiva, then someone painted blue with long ears dressed as Shiva, and then I’m sure It was me who dressed up as the god. I remember some vague stuff about mystical marriages. I think Shiva’s wife was there also, I think it was Sati, dressed in white. It […]
