Celtic gods

Celtic gods were deities worshiped by ancient Celtic peoples, often associated with natural elements, such as rivers, trees, and the sky, reflecting their deep connection to nature. They embodied aspects of life, health, war, and fertility, with regional variations across Ireland, Britain, and Continental Europe. Many gods were linked to specific sites or landscapes, and their stories were passed down through oral tradition and later, inscriptions. While much about them remains mysterious, they reveal a worldview that revered natural forces and the interconnectedness of life. Their worship dwindled with the spread of Christianity, but their legacy influences modern Celtic culture and mythology.
