Robin of Sherwood -
Season 2 Episode 3
In the
Early Middle Ages,
Windsor Forest came under the control of the
Angles,
Jutes and
Saxons(Anglo-Saxons) who worshiped their own pantheon of gods, including Wōden, who was sometimes depicted as horned, and whose Norse
Viking equivalent
Odin rode across the night sky with his own
Wild Hunt and hanged himself on the world tree
Yggdrasil in order to learn the secret of the runic alphabet. It has been suggested that the name
Herne is derived from the title Herian, a title used for Wōden in his role as leader of fallen warriors (Old Norse Einherjar). Another Wild Hunt-associated folkloric figure,
King Herla, started as the
Old English Herla cyning, a figure that is usually said to be Woden, but was later re-imagined by
Walter Map in literature as a
Celtic Brythonic king who after traveling to an
Otherworld returns to find his lands inhabited by
Englishmen, has a name that has also been connected to Herian and thus also possibly to Herne.
It is possible that the name Herne may originate from the Old
Some modern followers of
Celtic gods, such as Wiccans consider Herne to be derived from the Celtic God Cernunnos, the
Horned God. the most prominenet gods in
Wicca are Cernunnos and
Triple Goddess(three sisters-godesses, the daughters of Ernmas:
Morrígan, Badb and
Macha)
The theonym [C]ernunnos appears on the
Pillar of the Boatmen, a Gallo-Roman monument dating to the early
1st century CE, to label a god depicted with stag's antlers in their early stage of annual growth. Both antlers have torcs hanging from them.
The name has been compared to a divine epithet Carnonos in a Celtic inscription written in
Greek characters at
Montagnac, Hérault (as καρνονου, karnonou, in the dative case). A Gallo-Latin adjective carnuātus, "horned," is also found.
