Made to Order Flidais Deer Antler Necklace Celtic Mythology

Made to order so will vary slightly

FLIDAIS is the beautiful goddess of deer, also known as “Fairy cattle.” She is a goddess of the forest.

In Celtic mythology, the deer is a magical creature, able to move between the worlds. As in Eire many tales have humans transformed into deer. For example, St. Patrick was said to have transformed himself and his companions into deer in order to escape a trap laid by a pagan king.

The antlers of the stag are compared to tree-branches and thus may represent fertility. Since they are shed and re-grown every year, they may also symbolise rejuvenation and rebirth.

The stag is also a symbol of male fertility, the fertility of the forest and the renewal of nature. As such it played an important role in Celtic society and culture representing the Celtic relationship with nature and the animal kingdom.

Made from cotton rope, antler tips, rabbit hide, hemp cord and glue.
