In a new entry for the Kvasir Symbol Database, we examine the symbolic role of antlers and stags among the ancient Germanic peoples.

Topics covered include Heorot, the deity Yngvi-Freyr, the Ingvaeones, Eikthyrnir, the Sutton Hoo scepter, and the 'antler-crowned' Yggdrasil.

Other topics briefly touched upon include the Germanic reception of the horned figure on the Gundestrup Cauldron and Scythian and Sarmatian fixation on antler and stag imagery.
