Term: horned god
| DEFINITIONS |
Horned God: The male aspect of deity in many forms of Wicca and Witchcraft. The horns represent fertility, wildness, and male sexuality. Often seen as a form of the Greek Pan or the Celtic Cernunnos. Although the Christian Bible does not describe Satan or the Devil other than saying he was beautiful and a bearer or bringer of light (Lucifer), various Christians later gave the Devil characteristics of the Horned God. Some people believe this was done to encourage Pagans to worship Jesus as the worship of their beloved Horned One, in the Christian view, would actually be the worship of Satan.
