Cernunnos, Celtic pagan horned god, Statuette made of wood. Altar statuette.

Cernunnos, Celtic pagan horned god - the patron god of the forest kingdom, trees, all plants and animals, the god of male strength, male fertility and warriors. At the time of the heyday of their civilization, the Celts lived in vast European territories, occupying modern Ireland, England, France, Belgium, part of Germany and Austria. There is even a hypothesis according to which the Celts lived in the Carpathians, and, in particular, the Hutsuls are distant descendants of the Celts. But this is just a hypothesis. But the modern Irish, Scots, Bretons, Welsh really are the distant descendants of those ancient Celts. The culture of the Celts was very rich in legends and legends, which were passed down from mouth to mouth for centuries and, as a rule, have been preserved in several versions, as, indeed, the Celtic names and names themselves.
