Cernunnos was also portrayed as the god of the animal realm, thus he would have also been called upon to assure favorable hunting conditions.

Symbol Code: SM001057 Symbol Name: Sunflowers (Category: GOD )

(SUN WORSHIP): Obvious, right? The sunflower has long been associated with solar energy, and summer months because it's bright head looks like our own bright cosmic sun. What's more, the sunflower is physically drawn to the light of the sun. It moves its head to follow the rising and setting sun. This is a spiritual aphorism. Just as the sunflower follows the light, so too are our own spirits inclined to follow the light of the divine. We find our grandest spiritual growth by pointing ourselves in to the light, with our back against the darkness. Keep this in mind as you bring sunflowers to your summer solstice celebrations.

Symbol Code: SM001113 Symbol Name: Moon Mayan Symbolism (Category: GOD )

(MOON WORSHIP): This can produce a scapegoat for the primitive ego (and modern ego too). What am I getting at? Here's my point: Invading tribes, failed crops, terminal illnesses - these can easily be attributed to the moon(goddess) and the dark plans she weaves in shadow where no one can see or understand what she's doing, or why. As an old goddess - a hard-lined, fiendish-looking crone - Ixchel manipulates darker forces which explain the darker events of the Mayan culture. In this lunar light, Ixchel is still a transformer (as the moon is a Mayan symbol of transformation too), but she is also a justifier. The moon is symbolic of the unseen aspects of existence, and only an elderly goddess like Ixchel has the experience and wherewithal to see the shadows of life and manipulate them in a way to restore balance. War, famine, death - these are manifestations of Ixchel's manipulations "behind the scenes." Ixchel's crone aspect is also linked with her role as the tapestry-maker. She is weaving consequences behind the scenes because only she can see in the shadow, so only she can adequately connect cause with effect.

Symbol Code: SM001138 Symbol Name: Symbolic Sunflower (Category: GOD )

(SUN WORSHIP): The sunflower moves itself in the most direct position in front of the sun so it can get the maximum sun rays. This is symbolic of spiritual faith, and worship because we follow our belief system as the sunflower moves to face the life-giving rays of the sun.
The sunflower is the Greek symbol of Clytie (a water nymph) who turns into a sunflower after grieving over the loss of her love (Apollo). The mythological symbolism here is that Clytie (in the form of a sunflower) is always facing the sun, looking for Apollo's chariot to return and she might be joined again with her love. The sunflower is also a symbol of Daphne (another Greek nymph).
