LIST OF CELTIC DEITIES

The 'gods and goddesses of Celtic mythology' are known from a variety of sources. From the classical and pre-classical period, many statues, dedications, votive offerings, and cult objects survive.
It should be understood that there are different types of deities, general and local. General deities are the gods and goddesses the Celts invoked for protection, healing, luck, honour or many other needs. The local deities or Genii loci, were more like spirits of particular feature of the world around them. Each mountain has its own protector, every ancient tree has its own spirit and every river is protected by its goddess or god.
There is also a large body of Irish and Welsh written material customarily thought to preserve elements of pre-Christian mythology. In the Irish mythological sources, the Tuatha Dé Danann are commonly taken to represent a divine pantheon; however, the texts themselves present evidence of monastic attempts to euhemerise or demonise the Tuatha Dé Danann. The Irish writings do sometimes identify deities explicitly. By contrast, none of the characters from Welsh mythology are identified as divine; scholars identify characters as deities, heroes and heroines, or ordinary mortals based on analogy and textual context.
