Authenticity[edit]

Does anyone have an authoritative reference for whether these really are made today in Brittany and really do represent an authentic and ancient tradition?

I can find no information online apart from stuff derived from neopagan websites, which obviously have some incentive in upholding the idea that this practice is ancient.

Even if this is happening, it's frequently the case that in these continuations of ancient religious tradition the original motivation (honouring some horned "god of winter", maybe Cernunnos?) is long forgotten even as the tradition continues. In fact in many cases the forgetting is essential to the preservation of the tradition, as avoids a religious conflict in the mind of the practitioner (who would presumably have been a nominal Christian).

If so, it would be wrong to say that everyone who's made these things is doing so to explicitly honouring a Celtic deity, whatever the initial meaning of the tradition was. --Saforrest (talk) 03:00, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
