Sun snake protecting the sun horse
CER pronounced ker was the divine stag and hind,
protecting the sun horse and moon bull (Latin servo
means I protect) on their journey across the sky and
through the Underworld. The divine stag is present
in the combined constellations of our Sagittarius and
Scorpio, together the antler of the divine stag, while
the divine hind-woman is present in Orion. CER PIR,
stag fire, was the divine stag protecting the entrance
to and exit from the Underwolrd with fires. In later
times, CER PIR became Kerberos, the hellhound
guarding the Underworld with fiery breath, which is
why snakes emanate from his body. Another word
for snake is serpent, Latin serpens from serpere for
to creep, sneak. CER ker ser ...
On the silver cauldron from Gundestrup appears the
Celtic Lord of the Animals by the name of Cernunnos,
wearing stag antlers. The French word for stag is cerf.
Three animals whisper into his ears, on his right side
a stag, on his left side above a dog, below a snake
with the horns of a ram.
Cernunnos holds the serpent - whose body makes
a small loop - in his left hand, while he holds a torque
in his right hand, and a further torque adorns his neck.
So the torque may be a symbol of the sun running
across the sky by day, and through the Underworld
by night. Relying on Latin serpere as origin of serpens
we may ponder the permutations of PER. Here you
are with my propositions:
CER PER --- sun snake protecting the ascending
sun horse in the later morning; ancient Greek pera
for beyond
CER REP --- sun snake protecting the descending
sun horse in the afternoon; ancient Greek repo for
I bow, incline (consider also Latin reptilis for reptile)
CER PRE --- sun snake protecting the rising sun
horse of the early morning; ancient Greek prepo for
I shine, appear, come forth
CER ERP --- sun snake protecting the setting sun
horse of the evening; ancient Greek herpo for I creep,
sneak, herpeton for a creeping animal
CER RPE --- sun snake protecting the sun horse in
the zenith, high on the sky at noon; ancient Greek ripae
for cast, throw, swing, flight (...), ripae ophthalmou for
a moment in time
CER EPR --- sun snake protecting the sun horse in
the center of the Underworld, where it needs most
help and protection; Latin servo for I protect, ancient
Greek eparkeia for help, oparkeo for I suffice, remain
in force, protect, help, assist (...)
In temporal order:
CER PRE --- 4 o'clock on June 21
CER PER --- 8 o'clock on June 21
CER PRE --- 12 o'clock, noon
CER REP --- 16 o'clock on June 21
CER ERP --- 20 o'clock on June 21
CER EPR --- 24 / 0 o'clock on June 21/22, midnight
The meeting ends of the torque may then symbolize
midnight, when the sun horse traverses the center of
the Underworld and needs most help and protection
from the accompanying sun serpent, from the divine
stag or ram in the emanation of a snake ...

ARC TYR --- he who overcomes a bear; turned into
Arthur Artus, while the cave bear turned into a dragon,

of Geoffrey of Monbouth, and bones of cave bears found
in caves had been misinterpreted as remains of dragons
CRA !L (clicking L) --- cranium filled with bear blood,
raised by the lion man in order to establish a link with
the beyond, imploring strength, power and skills from
above; became Arthur's Grail in the pagan version of
