    • 2003, Arthur Rowan, The Lore of the Bard, Llewellyn Publications, page 242:
      Cernunnos is one of the oldest of the old gods. […] Often attacked by the forces of the early Christian Church, Cernunnos was misconstrued as demonic and the lord of sorcerers and witches during the Middle Ages.
    • 2004, Philip Carr-Gomm, Stephanie Carr-Gomm, Druid Craft Tarot, Connections Book Publishing, page 146,
      Here we see an image of Cernunnos - the Lord of the Animals, the wild Herdsman and Hunter.
    • 2012, Aislin, Ashling Wicca, Book 1, Lulu.com, page 60,
      This leads to the natural conclusion that Cernunnos was more than a fertility god and more than simply the consort of the Goddess. In the Ashling Wicca tradition, Cernunnos is seen as a god of initiation, of change, and of following a new path.
