"By the flame that burneth bright
O Horned One! We call thy name into the night O Horned One! " -Doreen Valiente (Invocation of the Horned God.) The Horned God is the primal, active force within all things, a wild man unfettered by civilization and driven by primal instincts. He is the Lord of the woodlands, the hunt and animals. He is both hunter and hunted - he who slays so others can live, and he who dies to nourish others in the natural cycle. He is the consort of the Goddess and symbol of male energy in the form of the divine. He represents male sexuality, as the phallic nature of his horns suggest, virility, and strength. He provides for the tribe through the hunt and is honoured or rewarded for his deed by being permitted to copulate with the Goddess through the Great Rite. The Horned God is the lord of life, death and the underworld. He alternates with the Goddess in ruling over the fertility cycle of birth, death and rebirth. And is the Sun to the Goddess' Moon He is born at the winter solstice, unites with the Goddess in marriage at Beltane, and dies at the summer solstice to bring fertility to the land as the Sacred King. |
