The newest piece adorning my altar: "Cernunnos" by Etsy creator JaneStarrWells. Cernunnos is the Celtic horned god of the woods. He is depicted as half-man, half-stag, and though his exact position in the original Celtic pantheon has been lost to history, he is associated in modern Paganism with animals, the forest, fertility, and wealth. He is seen as a being who teaches balance, as he represents both hunter and hunted. He was the first male pagan deity to reach out to me as I was slowly coming out of the broom closet to myself, circa 2014-2015 (I eventually came out of it to my family in 2016, who accepted me, as I knew they would). For me, Cernunnos stands for fearlessly charging ahead in life. I often affectionately refer to him as my "Get shit done" god. He's a constant in my life, but makes himself known especially when I need that fire lit under my ass. May the Horned One bless all who walk their paths with him. Blessed be. #JaneStarrWells #PaganArt #WiccanAltar #Cernunnos #CelticDeities #PaganHornedGod #LordOfTheForest #LordOfCreativity s https://www.instagram.com/p/CUQwpB9PSdi/?utm_medium=tumblr

While out on a walk through the neighborhood, I popped into my local metaphysical store and felt drawn to buy these two books, "The Spirit of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses: Their History, Magical Power, and Healing Energies" by Carl McColman and Kathryn Hinds and "The Herbal Alchemist's Handbook: A Complete Guide to Magickal Herbs and How to Use Them" by Karen Harrison. I fee finding both were answers to requests I'd put out into the universe to get closer to deity (I already work with Cernunnos and Brigid of the Celtic pantheon but want to learn more about it/them) and to begin diving into my work with herbs. Thank you, Goddess, God, and universe. Blessed be! #AmethystMoon #WitchyBooks #CelticDeities #MagicalHerbs #EverydayAlchemy #WiccanBooks (at Amethyst Moon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4OKp6gzqd/?utm_medium=tumblr
