The Stag

In Celtic mythology, the stag holds a revered and powerful position, embodying various symbolic meanings and associations. The stag represents strength, virility, and nobility. It is often seen as a creature of the wilderness, embodying the untamed and primal forces of nature. In particular, the stag is closely linked to Cernunnos, the Horned God of Celtic mythology. Cernunnos himself is depicted with antlers or adorned with a stag's head, signifying his affinity with this majestic creature. As the Horned God, Cernunnos is associated with fertility, abundance, and the cycle of life. His connection to the stag symbolizes his dominion over the wild and his role as a guardian of the animal kingdom. The stag and Cernunnos are intertwined, representing the sacred masculine energy, the vitality of the natural world, and the cyclical rhythms of existence. The stag's image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and the wild, and the harmonious balance between humanity and the animal realm.
