CERNUNNOS TYR



'The antlered Horned God of Witchcraft, the name Cern or Cernunnos probably derives from Greek TyranosTywaz/Tyr and/or Germanic Vindonos. The Wild God of the Storm and the skies, He thuis reltes to Shiva as the primal Rudra, 'the Howler' -thus the skull necklace and Kapal or skull-cap bowl of MahaKala, while the Druidic serpents entwine His wrists....Here the Burning Spear of Celtic Lugh is combined with that of the Norse War/Agriculture God Tyr and His rune Tywaz, its other end the Horned Stang of the Sabbatic Tradition. Behind Him is the World Tree, Yggdrasil.-from the text in Conjunctio
