Celtic Pantheon
The Celtic Pantheon refers to the collection of gods and goddesses worshipped by the ancient Celts, a group of people who lived in Europe from the Iron Age to the medieval period. The Celtic Pantheon is often associated with the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Celtic people, which were primarily based on animism, the belief that natural objects, animals, and even inanimate objects possess a spiritual essence or soul.
The Celtic Pantheon is composed of numerous deities, some of whom were local or regional gods, while others were more widely worshipped throughout the Celtic world.
The Celtic Pantheon is often associated with the natural world, and many of its deities were linked to specific aspects of nature, such as the sun, the moon, rivers, and mountains. The Celtic people believed that these deities possessed both positive and negative aspects, and that they could be appeased or angered through offerings and sacrifices.
