CERNUNNOS AND FREUD
The Freud part is only an addendum, though there are times when an addendum can rank supreme over the main topic. So, let us first get on with Freud, shall we? Freud was one of the most celebrated writers when speaking about myth from a psychological standpoint. We all know his Die Traumdeutung, written in 1899, known in English as The Interpretation of Dreams, in which he also posited a phenomenon called the Oedipus complex. I won’t go into details, other than to tell you to leave your mother alone. Should you be of the female persuasion, it would be an Electra complex. I end this here as in his many writings, including a later book entitled Totem and Taboo, it is quite possible, and likely, that he also wrote a few paragraphs about Cernunnos. And that takes care of that.
