The Italian horn, also called a cornu, cornicello, or Devilâs horn, is worn mainly to protect against the âevil eyeâ. Historically, it is linked to Celtic and Druid beliefs and to worship of the Moon Goddess in ancient Italy. Ironically, the horn is often worn with a cross to give it âextra power.â.
The Horned God is one of the two primary deities found in Wicca and some related forms of Neopaganism. The term Horned God itself predates Wicca, and is an early 20th-century syncretic term for a horned or antlered anthropomorphic god with partly pseudohistorical origins, partly based on historical horned deities.hilst depictions of the deity vary, he is always shown with either horns or antlers upon his head, often depicted as being theriocephalic (having a beast's head), in this way emphasizing the union of the divine and the animal, the latter of which includes humanity.
