Horned God

The Horned God symbol is one of the two deities found in the neopagan religion of Wicca. He is often given various names and epithets, and represent the masculine energy of the God in the religion's male-female polarity, the other part being the female Triple Goddess.
It is a symbol of an archetype, as often seen in Cernunnos, Herne, and other gods of vegetation and fertility.
It is believed the Horned God represents sexuality, vitality, the hunt, logic and power. But, he does not exploit his attributes nor will he let them be exploited. He is considered to be gentle, tender and compassionate in a masculine manner.
Many modern Pagan and Wiccan groups accept the idea of a horned nature deity as the embodiment of masculine energy.
