Cernunnos

There are two bands (at least) called "Cernunnos": 1. The word Cernunnos! refers to "the Horned God", "the Horned One," or even "the Stag King." When this musical idea was conceived in 1996, this definition may have been enough. And why not? This name seems appropriate enough for folk metal music with a dark side, as the earliest recordings attest. As the years passed, and the music and ideas in Cernunnos! changed, this word came to mean other things.
