Page "Cernunnos" Paragraph 18

This " Cernunnos " type in Celtic iconography is often portrayed with animals, in particular the stag, and also frequently associated with the ram-horned serpent, and less frequently bulls ( at Rheims ), dogs and rats.

Because of his frequent association with creatures, scholars often describe Cernunnos as the " Lord of the Animals " or the " Lord of Wild Things ", and Miranda Green describes him as a " peaceful god of nature and fruitfulness ".
