i have read in doreen valiente's book called witchcraft for tomorrow that there hes been carvings and cave paintings of the horned god and the naked goddess in india. an image of the horned god with a light between the horns still survives in the secret tantric worship in india of the hindus to this day.

this is quite interesting, and i was wondering if anyone has more information about the horned god in hinduism.

Not in Hindi, but the "Horned God" appears in several different cultures.

Usualy he is the God of the hunt and the wild places. I think the onle exception that I've run across is the Syrian God, Dimusi. If I remember correctly he could be shown with horns and he was the God of the shepherds and agriculture.

THAT'S WHAT I FOUND ON THE SUBJECT....

In Hinduism, Prajapati is Lord of Creatures, thought to be depicted on ancient Harappan seals, sitting in yogic posture, with an erection and what appear to be bison horns. Like the Biblical Adam, he is in close communication with Nature and Nature revolves around him. In the Vedas, Prajapati is the name of God as the sustainer of all beings. This would identify him with the later Hindu god Vishnu. Prajapati has also been associated with the non-Aryan Shiva.
