Celtic deities

Celtic deities are gods and goddesses from ancient Celtic religions, representing natural forces, seasons, and aspects of life such as fertility, war, and healing. They varied across regions like Ireland, Britain, and Gaul, often linked to local landscapes and communities. Unlike more centralized pantheons, Celtic gods were often worshipped through nature rituals and local sacred sites, with a strong emphasis on harmony with nature. These deities played integral roles in daily life, reflecting the Celts’ spiritual connection to their environment and societal values. Our understanding is mainly derived from archaeological finds, ancient texts, and folklore.
