Shiva was originally called the Lord of the Animals and probably had a similar basis, before becoming transcendentalised. The Horned God of the Wiccans is believed to be derived from the same source. Some Saints such as St Giles also preserve the image. It is possible that we are dealing with an Archetype rather than a Stone Age survival. Though the two ideas are not mutually exclusive.
