   I think that in traditions of a Horned God the two horns   
   are the waning crescent moon and waxing crescent moon   
   and the Horned God is associated with those two and   
   with new moon (dark of moon), while the Goddess is more   
   associated with full moon.   The same is true for   
   traditions that revere the bull or buffalo -- the   
   two horns are waning and waxing crescents and the   
   dark bull is the dark of moon, and the cow is associated   
   more with full moon.
