"The deer man"

The deer man, this unpredictable and wild hybrid creature named Cernunnos in Celtic and Gallic mythology, has abilities beyond the beast that lies dormant in each of us. Mystical divinity, the beliefs of these peoples gave birth to the crossing between two land animals who each exercise power in their domain and which become now one by being made up of the body of a man equipped with the natural weapon of the deer: its resistant and deadly antlers.

Man dominates and imposes "his vision" of the law on earth. As for the charismatic deer, king of the forest, rules over his territory.

Harmonious blend of elegance, strength and virility, this being has the power to resist the fights he faces with violence and bravery.

Supreme divinity capable of going from its destruction to its regeneration, from death to life, it is considered as the guardian of the gates of the Other world.
