Who were the Gods and Godessess

The Celtic deities are a diverse group of gods and goddesses found across the ancient cultures of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Gaul. Rather than forming a single, unified pantheon like the Greeks or Romans, Celtic deities are deeply regional and often tied to specific landscapes, tribes, and natural forces. Many embody roles connected to everyday life, such as craftsmanship, healing, poetry, warfare, and kingship… while others personify rivers, hills, seasons, or the boundaries between the human world and the Otherworld. Although details vary by region and surviving sources, Celtic deities consistently reflect a worldview in which nature, sovereignty, and the supernatural are closely interconnected. Here, gods act less as distant rulers and more like active participants in the rhythms of the land and the lives of its people.
