Cernunnos Incarnate Project Survey

Hello everyone! I have been working on a project for a second that requires responses from a wide variety of subjects relating to working with the god Cernunnos, and it has a particular focus on Otherkin/Incarnate/Nonhuman/etc. practitioners! My goal is to gather information via interviews with this survey and explore historical and other relevant contexts to showcase and really explore the variety in modern practice as it relates to Cernunnos. I go more in depth on the premise and my end goal in the introductory text at the very top of the linked survey.

I personally am an Incarnate Fae and Cernunnos Devotee, and have been fascinated to find an overlap with that identity and that belief, but being Otherkin is not a requirement for this project, only a relationship with Cernunnos.

I'm not totally sure what else to say that isn't said beyond the link, and I'm so nervous my hands are shaking as I type this, but if anyone is willing to donate their time and words to this admittedly pretty long interview, I would be eternally grateful :}

You may see this cross posted in a couple places, I promise I'm not spamming, just trying to get to as many potential respondents as possible!

This is a safe space to share your personal gnosis (UPG), personal experiences and any other things (like fun facts!) about the gods of your religion! Currently there is still a lot of scrutiny that comes with expressing these things about your relationships with your deities in these spaces (both offline and online) and so it beckons more normalcy! This blog is just one of many steps that can be taken for that. If you wanna share anything you may otherwise keep to yourself out of fear, here is the place to do it - free from judgement.

It goes without saying that this is an anti-hate blog, any and all negative actions will not be tolerated! This is a safe space for ALL!

If you are Nonhuman/Incarnate: Are you a pagan, and do you work with Cernunnos*?

Not Nonhuman Button

Yes I'm Nonhuman, but No I'm not pagan.

Yes I'm Nonhuman, Yes I'm pagan, No I don't work with Cernunnos

Yes I'm Nonhuman, Yes I'm pagan, Yes I work with Cernunnos

*Cernunnos the Deity, either from a Gaulish or generally Celtic perspective, NOT the Wiccan Horned God. Please respect the difference.

If you happen to fall into this weird like intersection of things, hi!! I'm a Cernunnos devotee that does a lot of research as acts of devotion haha I am currently batting around a theory/theories about Cernunnos' connection to the Nonhuman/Incarnate pagan community through His role as mediator between the Worlds. If you'd be willing to tell me anything about your personal experiences with Him, please reach out to me directly!

I'm actually working on a list of basically interview questions, and I'd love some perspectives beyond only that of my partner and myself.

Please reblog for sample size! No matter where you exist within this poll, thank you for participating~

To the struggling pagan, a quote from Ovid’s Tristia, book II (“His Loyalty”):

"but as a god’s won by red blood of a hundred bulls,

so he’s won by the smallest offering of incense."

Whatever you offer, no matter how much or how little, it is accepted all the same <3

Do ye have any advice for worshipping Ogma, in a similar situation to the person asking abt Brigid

hi anon! apologies for taking so long to respond to this. i hope it can help nonetheless. here are some links and study sources for your reading pleasure. to the best of my own knowledge, these sources are accurate and a good gathering of knowledge about Ogma and about ogham.

Ogma and Ogmios - Gods of Language and Strength by Kianuka's Celtic Tales

Irish God, Oghma - Irish Pagan School

Ogham - Unraveling the Old Irish Script

there are far fewer sources i can give you on Ogma, as He's less widely beloved than Brighid. i love Him, though, and i imagine you do too, Anon. i can provide some of my own experience with worship and communication with Him. UPG abound, as this is a personal testimony of experience.

Ogma, Cermait, always approached me silently at first. a large, strong presence in my dreams that seems to be surrounded by golden aura. i started having dreams about Him teaching me, though i barely remember the things i learned. they reoccurred for quite some time, and He seemed on the edge of my vision, never quite there but still observing. large frame and intelligent eyes, worthy of both fear and curiosity. i really started giving offerings and asking for His help when i was studying linguistics, as well as in my writing class at the same uni. the inspiration and energy from Him were incredibly helpful. He liked wheat beer a lot, as well as nuts, red meats, bread that i made myself (He wanted nearly half of that loaf i swear it), small poems that i would write for Him off of a prompt list, really any devotion of language and the study of it.

Ogma isn't one of the closest to me, but He's always struck me as a man eager to help you learn and to lend you strength and light. if you're in school, i'd think He would take just about any devotion of your studying. i did have an altar for him while in school, and it was draped in gold and green with some jewelry for Him and scraps of paper with my poetry and sigils. worshipping Ogma will fill you with the want to speak, express, and learn, to hold the light of the sun in your face and the strength of a champion in your soul.
