It is thought that the 'Stag
God' originated in the steppes. He was brought to Anatolia by
the early Indo-Iranian peoples who left their Kurgan burials
at Trialeti and elsewhere in the region and mixed with the
Hurrian and other peoples as far as northern Anatolia.
In Celtic folklore the white stag appears in legends as the
leader of a hunt that takes the hunters into another world.
The colour white has long been associated with purity; and in Celtic culture, the colour also represented the otherworld. In modern society, people have acted to protect the white stag as a vestige of beauty, and the hunting of the white stag has often met with anger, because of its rare and elusive nature. White can also mean a symbol of peace or a truce.
For early man, the deer resprented a valuable resource, providing nourishment, clothing and other accessories; and the deer may have played a role in totemic culture
