Cerunnos

Cerunnos Wand

In the ancient Celtic religion, Cerunnos was the Lord of Wild Things. Known as the Horned One, he was a powerful God who was mostly worshipping in Britain, but depictions of him go all the way back to 400BC from Italy. This design was of course inspired by animal horns, I then added runes to it from the Elder Futhark alphabet. They are arranged in 4 groups of 4, and translate to:

Seed (ng) Enlightenment (D) Nurturing (B) Victory (T)
Persistence (E) Stillness (I) Breakthrough(Th) Joy (W)
Protection (Z) Love/dreams (L) Inherit (O) Wisdom (K)
Health (U) Wealth (F) Friendship (E) Success (S)

13 3/4" or 35Cm long, I can make it with or without runes at this length, or at 15" long without runes.
