200 year old rock carving thought to be of the Celtic god Cocidius (The Red God) holds a shield in one hand and a spear or sword in the other, carved into Hadrian's Wall in Northumberland, England
Reminds me of the Irish Da Derga who's name means the same thing. #druidsky /|\ #pagansky #witchsky

Out for a wander to seek out an ancient shrine to The Red Man. Cocidius of the British Celtic people of what is now the English/Scottish borderland.
Footbridge in a bright February sunlit day, russet dead bracken and the edge of a pinewood. Bare Alder and Silver Birch alongside a stream, small waterfall in the middle of the picture. A possible shrine to the Celtic British God Cocidius, the God of the wild places for people of what is now Northern England, The Red Man. 'Romanised' as Mars-Cocidius or Silvanus-Cocidius by troops around these northern lands, other shrines exist along Hadrian's Wall and surrounding areas. The Roman road just to the North (now appears as Burma Road on Ordnance Survey maps) indicates regular movement in the area here. The relief carving is at approximately head height adjacent a rectangular natural recess in the rock, with a chipped shelf to the right of the space. Can be difficult to find, it is towards the top of North Yardhope Crag, near the farthest East end, just to the East of the Rowantree Cleugh burn. The What3Words address is: ///wanting.nudge.fires The location is close to the MOD training and firing range, however does not lie in a live firing area. Careful navigation is suggested. Abandoned farmhouse and buildings at North Yardhope, Northumberland. Bright winters day, russet colour of the dead bracken in the foreground.

The Romans made a point of holding the shrine of Cocidius within their fort to entrall the local Brits, who otherwise were in the grip of Cocidius. St Cuthbert came along and did the same hence from which a monastery was established on the site and a enigmatic cross raised.

Of Fanum Cocidius fame?

There were other tribes in the area, eg the Carvetii, and Belatucadros and Cocidius were both local horned gods.

some kind of fucked-up italian cat? obviously you should wear nothing but woad paint and stab it with a spear, otherwise Cocidius will think you're a coward, but how hard could it possibly be to kill a cat, even one with a human face and weird tail

In fact not the only rock-cut shrine depicting a deity from the #Roman period in Britain. There are two shrines of Cocidius in Northumberland: 'Robin of Risingham' historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-... and one in Upper Coquetdale historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-...

Hidden away in Adel Woods, West Yorkshire is what's believed to be a Romano-British rock carving, that according to Historic England, represents the Celtic deity Cocidius.

4/ But it also says a lot of things I’ve been thinking about for a long time about how we handle local gods in the Roman world, what we can - and can’t - do with Roman altars and with gods we only know through epigraphy, as well as the (*whispers*) Celtic problem in Roman provincial archaeology 😬…
Altar to Cocidius dedicated by Paternius Maternus, tribune of the Coh. I Nervana. RIB 966, from Netherby or Bewcastle, now on display at The Auckland Project’s Faith Museum

3/ It represents a few years of my thinking about this guy, the god Cocidius from Hadrian’s Wall, and how religion and military power could intersect on the edges of empire.
(Spoiler alert: I’m not sure he’s a very nice god 😂)

One possibility is that there’s something else going on - Bewcastle is often ID-ed as “Fanum Cocidi”, shrine of Cocidius, a place-name known from ancient sources. People have suggested the spot is a takeover of an older sacred site and that explains the oddities - but we don’t really have any proof!
