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.

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.
