Artwork description

The Deer-cult and the Deer-goddess-cult date from a remote matriarchal time.

Long, long ago, a state of society existed in the Highlands, when woman was supreme; all women were supernatural and magical; all ghosts whether of male or female creatures were feminine; fairyland of the Otherworld, was tenanted or inhabited by exclusively women; men were in the hunting stage of development and feared women, their spiritual mothers, all of whom were capable of guiding the destinies of men magically, either for their weal or woe, as they chose; the deer was a god; the ghosts of deer became fairy or supernatural women; and deer were the cattle of the fairies or of supernatural beings. (McKay 167)

The Horned God, which is the Goddess in HER male form, embodies the power of the feeling. His animal horns represent the truth of undisguised emotion, which seeks to please no masters. He is untamed. But untamed feelings are very different from enacted violence.

The Horned God is the life force, the life cycle. He remains within the orbit of the Goddess; his power is always directed towards the service of life. (Starhawk 97)

Die JAGD is part of a photographic series that I shot in Waldviertel during the time I was composing, Die Nibelungen, for LDQ Ysimaro electronic project.

The photograph is given away as print (66 USD) or with Passepartout paper 40×40 in grey color (111 USD). For any specific preference, please contact me.
