Horny creatures

If someone hasn’t already named these things mantlers you know it’s only a matter of time. The photo on the left is Johan by Michelle Martinoli from a series she calls Body Sculptures. On the right is Jeremy by Jamie Luca, part of a set at Homotography.

“Mantlers” har! Even though it’s funny how many guys do the horny thing there is a long tradition of pagan hunter god man ritual. The horn is the thing and it’s good to see modern Gay men keep it alive.

Hi Jon. Yes, I was thinking about the way it’s become more of a pagan symbol in recent years. In the 19th century a man with horns was more often a husband with an unfaithful wife, the horns of the cuckold being those which everyone can see save the man who wears them. But pagan horns go back a long way here, the annual Horn Dance in Abbots Bromley being a contemporary survival of a very old tradition.
