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.
First of all, the images of Satan or the Devil with horns and a pitchfork are inaccurate according to the Bible. If we use the Bible as our authority, then the Devil looks nothing like we can imagine. His name originally was Lucifer and he was described like a bright morning star.
