The Horned Goddess: Defiant Standard Postcard
The Horned Goddess: Defiant Standard Postcard
âModern Scottish Gaelic and modern Irish Gaelic dictionaries both give the word Fiadh as having two meanings, i.e. âDeerâ and âGodâ. That the deer was once some sort of a god, as well as a divine messenger, appears in several tales. In faerie lore, deer are their cattle and a common form for a faerie woman to transform herself into was that of a red deer. Witches transform themselves into mice, hares, cats, or black sheepâbut not into the sacred deer.â
âLong, 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.â
(McKay 167)
