Based on a prehistoric cave drawing in the far south of France, this image is more than 15,000 years old.
In the Spirit Realm, he mediates between humans and animals. The Shaman of Trois Freres is carved into the ceiling chamber of a Paleolithic hunter’s initiation cave. An image of sympathetic magic, he embodies parts of many different animals, plus the bearded face of an old man and the legs of a dancing shaman.
This ancient Sorcerer served as mediator between humans and their venerated animal kin, and is a prototype for Kernunnos, Forest God of the later Celts.
