Enter the mysterious and sacred world of the stag every time you look at this magnificent handcrafted piece. In Celtic mythology, the stag was one of the masculine spiritual symbols. Wild and untamable, the Stag was an important solar animal for the Celts. As a symbol of abundance, prosperity, virility and male sexuality the stag represented the masculine side of the balance of nature and was the totem animal for the antlered deity Cernunnos (The Honored One - or Lord of all Stags), ruler and protector of water, animals and nature. Cernunnos often shape-shifted, adopting the form of a stag, and Celtic legend has numerous tales of a white stag as a divine messenger leading heroes on magical quests. Cernunnos appears in British folklore as Herne the Hunter. The hunter identified with the stag - this is a very ancient mystery: Hunter and Hunted are one.
