Cernunnos-honoured by our ancestors throughout
Gaul and more so in these Celtic Isles of Britain. Cernunnos, the Horned God of the Woods and of Animals. He is the
Lord of all. His sacred energy union with the Goddess created all life and their sexual energy current flows through all living
things. Cernunnos shares a special relationship with men, as his powerful, masculine and sexual energy runs through
them in a unique way.
Cernunnos is recorded in history, the
first records come from the Val Camonica dating from the 4th century BC. The most famous image of Cernunnos
was found on the Gundestrup Cauldron found on Jutland in the first centruy BC. Cernunnos is a very masculine and
highly powerful sexual God. He is the Father of all creation and for men a connection with Cernunnos is a very powerful experience.
It's a spiritual and sexual experience and once men have been through the initiations on the workshops at the HomoMoot, they
begin to feel horny in a unique way in his presence and in normal everyday life.
For men, the power and energy of Cernunnos
seems to be very intense; sadly our sacred God has been given a bad name; the early Christian Church saw his image-a man with
antlers, as evil. They began to teach that Cernunnos was in fact the devil and sadly, his name was tarnished
and demonised. Those who paid homage to Cernunnos knew that he was no devil, far from it. Scholars today have proved he was
very highly regarded by the Celts as a sacred deity and his sacredness is once more being reclaimed and rightly so.
Today, as men we can stand before Cernunnos
and reclaim him and his powers. You don't have to practice the Celtic tradition-Witchcraft to honour him; the rites
are open to all men. Many men ask me what rites are there out there to honour him? Well, there is hardly any historical accounts
of any liturgy to honour Cernunnos. Today, we rely on spiritual inspirations to help form liturgy. The HomoMoot has many very
powerful rites that Julian has composed and which is taught men on the workshops; whereby Cernunnos decends upon his
men, flows through their blood, sperm and penis. Cernunnos becomes us and empowers and makes sacred our male erection.
Standing before Cernunnos with an erection is nothing to be ashamed of; far from it; standing before Cernunnos erect is to
pay him homage and attunes to his sacredness, his masculine energy. The rites that honour Cernunnos, form a very powerful male
bonding, the rituals and initiations help men attune to the sacred powers of our mighty Celtic God and by so doing, Cernunnos
empowers us as men, regardless of our sexuality.
