Profile

Origin

The relief of Cernunnos on the Pillar of the Boatmen

The Pillar of the Boatmen in modern-day Paris features an engraving of a horned man with an inscription above that apparently reads "Cernunnos" (though this inscription is now damaged). This engraving has often been interpreted as a Gaulish deity of that name. Similar depictions of a horned man can be found in other locations in the former Gaul.

The name Cernunnos probably derives from the Proto-Celtic *karnos, meaning "horn".

Kētai Akuma Densho	ドルイド僧に崇拝された、冥府を司るとされるケルト神話の獣神。その名は「角を持つ者」を意味する。 出身地：北欧 ケルヌンノスはケルト神話に登場する獣神で、狩猟と多産を司るとされる。牛や羊の頭に人間の胴体と蛇の足を持ち、雄鹿の角を生やした姿をして表されるのが普通である。地下の世界、あるいは死後の世界を支配する者であるとも言われ、生と死の間にある扉を導き開く者であるとも言われている。また豊饒の神でもあるとされるが、これは市を刈り取り次の生へと導く役割が、死神としての役割に共通するためと思われる。 Translation:

As his name, "the horned one", suggests, he was depicted in most cases with a pair of deer antlers, sitting cross-legged like the Buddha.
