Who Was Cernunnos? The Celtic God That Vanished

from Mysteries of Mythology · host Eddie - Mysteries of Mythology

One ancient god has become one of the biggest puzzles in European religion, and his name might not even be complete.Meet Cernunnos, the antlered “Horned One” found on a forgotten pillar beneath Notre Dame… with no surviving myths.In this episode of Mysteries of Mythology, we follow the clues historians actually have—inscriptions, reliefs, torcs, antlers, and the eerie ram-headed serpent—to reconstruct what Cernunnos might have meant to the Celtic-speaking peoples of Roman Gaul. The truth is stranger than any modern “horned god” story… because the story is missing.
