liminal-dualities:

In honor of Pride month, let’s remember that Cernunnos is NOT a god of sexuality and masculinity. He was never historically associated with those things.

Historically he was the god of liminality, a mediator between realms, a traveler, a merchant.

His name was appropriated from the Gauls by Wiccans who falsely conflated him with Pan, who does represent sexuality and masculinity.

If if you want a sexual, masculine horned god, you want Pan.

Signed,

Your local non-binary asexual, worshipper of Cernunnos, who is Tired of seeing him portrayed in a sexual manner when that was never one of his attributes to begin with
