Why is Satan always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?

Horns--That%26#039;s what cows, rams, giraffes and the like have. And pitchforks? That%26#039;s what farmers and gardeners use for....stuff. We have a pitchfork ourselves in our garage, for garden work.





So why is the devil, or Satan, always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?

Why is Satan always portrayed with horns and a pitchfork?
Satan was adapted from the pagan Horned God, also known as Cernunnos, Pan, or Herne the Hunter.





When Christianity was spreading, it took many pagan holidays, gods, and goddesses and incorperated it into their religion to make Christianity an easier pill for the pagans to swallow. Saint Brigit is case-in-point, formerly the celtic goddess Bride. The Horned God became Satan. Samhien became Halloween. Etc.

Reply:Epona%26#039;s answer was pretty good.


But my ex-wife doesn%26#039;t look at all like that and I always kind of associated Satan with the way she looks and acts.


Put a pitchfork in her hands and it would make little children have nightmares. Me too.

Goo luck with that. I%26#039;m not sure if it%26#039;s illegal, but it sure sounds like a waste of time.

What's a dilemma and how to get stuck on the horns of one?

Any links or photos would be appreciated.

What%26#039;s a dilemma and how to get stuck on the horns of one?
A dilemma, which is Greek for “two premises,” has been likened to the front end of an angry and charging bull.





Just stand in the way-- beware- physical ailment is most likely to occur.
Reply:Hahahaha .... TD and USS Badger (FF1071). We were tied up to the pier in Pearl Harbor. The USS Goldsborough (DDG-20, a battle veteran)





You see this is his dilemma is not remembering correctly time structure, he really only served on the %26quot;Hunley%26quot; . Gee he is really old.
Reply:sounds as though you are stuck on the horns of a serious dilemma.





it is a cheap, tough new car. the Dilemma, great gas mileage and the horn plays your all time favorite song.
Reply:a dilemma is not something that can be touched by another, they tend to be hermits and are illusive. They dwell in the back 80 of the wildest territory untrodden by humans.


Dilemmas are similar to Mooses, they have antlers instead of horns. Lots of little branches stemming from one root.
Reply:?????????
Reply:Its not an animal!! A dilemma is a situation with no clear answer, a quandry, or when someone has a decision but isn%26#039;t sure what to do. To get stuck on the horns of a dilemma is a figure of speech. Situations can blind-side you - kind of like getting gored by a rhinocerous horn!

Reply:Story time...It%26#039;s hard for me to choose a favorite...here%26#039;s one I wrote down just the other day. I don%26#039;t know what made me remember this.





I was Petty Officer of the Watch onbaord the USS Badger (FF1071). We were tied up to the pier in Pearl Harbor. The USS Goldsborough (DDG 20, a battle veteran) was coming toward us to tie up along side us. I was watching the proceedings. The OOD has his head up his asp, looking the other way. They called out %26quot;Heaving Line!%26quot; and threw the monkey paw right at the back of the OOD%26#039;s head. I watched the whole thing, in slow motion. It was a perfect throw. The nylon wrapped lead ball was heading right for the bullseye. For a few seconds, I thought about what to do. I really wanted to let it land on the mark. I never took my eye off it, or him. About a foot from impact, I reached up and snatched it out of the air, with a POP! in my hand. The OOD turned around and asked, %26quot;What was that?%26quot;





Nothing, Sir...





The people who watched later complained about my interference with a perfect shot...

How do you tie a bandanna like the gangsters with the horns in the front?

lol @ like the gangsters.

How do you tie a bandanna like the gangsters with the horns in the front?
haha, follow these steps right here and you%26#039;ve got yourself some gangsta a$$ bandanna wearage, homes! If you wanna tie it backwards just pull it around, so the knots are on both sides and tuck the front under the back.

Reply:You tie it backwards.
Reply:Fold a bandana in a triangle


Take the long straight edge and put it to the back of your head at the base near your neck, then take the 2 cornersbringing them around to the front tie them around each other once. Then bring the triangle point to the middle of your tie and tie it in a knot and tuck the corners under. Good Luck
Reply:Hahahaha if your asking how the gangsters do it, your obviously posing.





Posers suck be yourself.

What is the specific type of classical music that is mostly horns, no violin, no piano?

I%26#039;m looking for a way to find music similar to the opening music in %26quot;CBS Sunday Morning,%26quot; if that description helps

What is the specific type of classical music that is mostly horns, no violin, no piano?
I don%26#039;t know if you mean to listen to or to play or what, but try searching for %26quot;brass quintet%26quot; to get the best and biggest variety of music. There are other types of brass groups, that that%26#039;s by far the most common.
Reply:It is not a specific type just the same type of quartet or various size ensemble written specifically for horns. Most of the major composers wrote such pieces.
