Horned gods

there is a stereotype that the symbol of the horns is the symbol of the satan and evil.
well i think that is no satan exists.
the horned gods were worshiped in the europe and other lands long time before the christianity with its satan were created.
so the horned gods and the horns as symbols have nothing to do with evil.
In ancient creece there was many horned gods.
the most important of them was the vakhos and the pan.
the vakhos and pan were the gods of joy of the ecstacy,nature, and sexuality.
also pan was the god of the male animal instincts.
an other horned god was the cernunos.
As a horned god, Cernunnos is associated with horned male animals, especially stags and the ram-horned snake; this and other attributes associate him with produce and fertility.animal instincts and nature. Cernunnos is also associated mainly as the God of the Underworld.

So the horned gods represents the true nature and not the dualistic illusions of good and evil
