Resumen

El presente artículo presenta un recorrido sobre la importancia y la presencia del ciervo en las manifestaciones culturales y religiosas de los pueblos noreuropeos antiguos, especialmente los nórdicos. Para ello analizaremos tanto su función en las estructuras simbólicas y culturales de estos pueblos como su especial significación ritual, y veremos cómo su relativa pérdida de vigencia en las fuentes escritas que conservan el sustrato mitológico precristiano nórdico facilitó su posterior reinterpretación en clave cristiana. Gracias a ello, el ciervo adquirió matices cristológicos como representación del bien, en contraposición a sus enemigos naturales, serpientes y dragones, tan omnipresentes en el universo conceptual de estos pueblos.
