THE 18th of October is the Festival of The Horned God, known to us as Herne or Cernunnos.
He is the protector of wild places and the spirits and creatures that inhabit them. He is the Lord of the Hunt, the mightiest of hunters and yet also he personifies the power of the stag, the subject of the hunt.
He leads himself and us on a merry dance over hills and through the woods.
In his oldest guises he is Pan, and the dancing shaman wearing the skin and antlers of the stag. We honor Antinous-Cernunnos as a form of Pan.
