Horned God Bronze Polyresin Statue, 12.5 Inch

The Horned God is one of the two great deities of modern Wicca and much of contemporary Paganism, the wild lord of the forest and the untamed green world, consort and counterpart to the Goddess. He is the spirit of the woods and the animals, of the hunt and the turning seasons, of male vitality and the life that dies and is reborn with the year. This statue depicts him as the antlered forest god, drawing on older figures like Cernunnos and Pan.

Standing 12 1/2 inches in a bronze-toned polyresin, he makes a commanding focal point for nature work, grounding, and connection to the wild divine masculine.

The Spiritual Significance

In Wiccan and many Pagan traditions, the Horned God embodies the masculine principle of nature: wild, free, protective, and bound to the cycle of the seasons. He is the lord of the forest and the green world, the spirit of the hunt and of the animals, and the god who is born, comes to his strength, dies with the harvest, and is reborn, mirroring the turning of the year. He is the consort of the Goddess and her equal partner in the dance of life. He is not a figure of evil; his horns are the antlers of the stag and the marks of the wild, and any sinister reading of them is a later misunderstanding.

On a modern altar, the Horned God is honored for connection to nature and the wild, for grounding and primal vitality, for protection, and for the healthy, free expression of the divine masculine. Practitioners call on him in seasonal rites, in work with the land and animals, and whenever they seek to root themselves in the living earth. Honor him as the nature god he is, the wild green counterpart to the Goddess.

How To Use

1. Place him on an altar, often paired with an image of the Goddess, or in a natural or garden space.

History & Occult Background

The modern Horned God draws together several older figures, most notably the antlered Celtic god Cernunnos, known from images such as the Gundestrup cauldron, and the Greek goat-god Pan, lord of the wild. In the twentieth century, Wicca brought these strands together into the Horned God, the divine masculine partnered with the Goddess, honored in the cycle of the eight sabbats. He should not be confused with the Christian Devil, a separate and much later figure; the Horned God is a nature deity, and his antlers mark him as the lord of the wild rather than anything infernal.
