Some of the gods and goddesses from Celtic lore from the Iron Age (about 1000-500BC) in Europe. The Celts were peoples in today's Ireland, Scotland and England, as well as France, Germany and most of Spain on the other side of the English Channel. It should be noted that they didn't actually call themselves Celts - it's a modern name we gave them (first recorded in about the 17th century), based on a name that we're pretty sure they used. Incidentally, 'Celtic' is pronounced 'kel-tik', with a 'k' sound - unlike the Celtic soccer club, which is pronounced 'sel-tik', with an 's' sound. The aforementioned 'k' sound is a carry-over from the original dialect from which we get the word 'Celtic'.
Brigid
Goddess of healing, inspiration, craftspeople, fertility and wisdom. She is a Triple Goddess and the daughter of Dagda. She can be called on to help you through hardship.
Cernunnos
The Universal Father, and God of nature and fertility. He is a horned God, taking the form of a man with the horns of a stag. He is the embodiment of raw male virility and the image of the consort of the Goddess.
Cerridwen
Goddess of the Moon, the harvest and inspiration. She is also a Triple Goddess, but can be dark like the Crone and the darkening Moon so she is often seen as a hag, stirring her cauldron of knowledge. It takes her a year and a day to make her brew, the time a witch studies between dedication and First Degree Initiation, then between that and Second Degree Elevation.
Dagda
God of knowledge, life, death and of plenty. He is father to both Gods and men, and is said to control the passage of the seasons. He 'lives large', enjoying food, wine, sex and all life's pleasures. He has a powerful war club that can kill 9 men at once, the handle of which can bring life to the slain, and also a bottomless cauldron that can feed an army. His energy is well suited to workings for prosperity and abundance.
Epona
Goddess of horses, fertility and dogs. She is often shown riding horses or feeding foals, and also sometimes with a drinking dish (patera) or cornucopia.

God of magick, the arts, healing, courage, beauty, war and the Sun. He is the greatest of the Celtic Gods, and is athletic, strong and youthful. The sabbat Lammas (also called Lughnassadh) is named after him.
