WHO’S WHO OF THE CELTIC GODS
This list is divided into two parts. Part I comprises the chief gods as they would have been known to early Celts in Europe before they fell to the Romans and Druidism was suppressed. Part II focuses on the chief gods and mythical characters of the Irish Celts, as preserved in the later written collections.
Part I: Early Celtic Gods Worshipped Across Europe
Belenus The Celtic god of agriculture, Belenus also represents the life-giving and healing power of the sun and was associated with Apollo by the Romans, who created their own “Apollo Belenus.” The great festival of Belenus, called Beltane (“bright, or goodly, fire”), was celebrated on May 1 of the Roman calendar with bonfires lit to rekindle the earth’s warmth. Animals were led past these fires to be purified and protected against disease, and some scholars believe that this practice may have been connected to the nursery rhyme line about “the cow jumping over the moon.”
