The Stag - Lord of the Forest
The stag as symbol of the wild masculine, regeneration, and the lord of animals.
The stag, with its branching antlers shed and regrown each year, represents the cycles of death and rebirth. Cernunnos, the horned god, takes the stag's form. The hunt of the white stag leads heroes into the Otherworld and transformation.
Follow the white stag where it leads, though it takes you beyond the world you know.
The stag symbolizes the Celtic reverence for the wild and the regenerative power of nature.
