Celtic Mythology has been around for many years and the fact that this myth has a god for just about every river, lake, mountain, hill, etc. makes it even more interesting. Like many mythologies such as Greek or Norse, Celtic myth has its own important gods and goddesses some ranging higher than others depending on how well that particular god is worshiped. That’s why I’m creating four posts on what perhaps are the most important gods and goddesses in Celtic Myth. These Gods may or may not be the most important, but they sure are some of the most recognized gods not only in Ireland but around the world. All of them have a special connection to today’s world, meaning that they either originated or influenced a tradition many of us use today in our everyday lives. Also these gods and goddesses are worshiped in some cultures just like a divine figure would be, like Jesus, so that tells you just how important these gods are to some people. And most importantly every god on this list is from Celtic origin.
