The celtic deities can be divided into 7 diffrent catagories.

Nature and Earth deities
Warriors

Human mythic Heroes or heroines
the names of the deities in the celtic beliefe are often used in modern paganism, and newly adopted to wicca. You will notice that the celtic pantheon was regionally split up. Insular celts (british isles) worshipped much more complicated deities then those of the continental celts.(western Europe). Some stressed on cycles and legends, and others simply worshipped for elements of nature and animals, which the also named some of their towns.
They offered the gods coins, jewelry, and anatomical models of the body or ton they were in to draw the attention to the deity(s). The Insular celts believed they were the descendants of the great mother Dana, Dana being the wife of Bile, and their lineage is called the �tu/atha De/Danaan� which means People of the goddess Dana. Gwydion is the famous son of Dana, he is the god of civilization, he spreads out 3 major celtic characteristics, the eloquence, battle and magic.
Also known as the cycle of Llyr, the great god of the sea, His son Bran is a sacred hero (Bran the blessed, brother of Branwen, and Cordelia and Manannon Llyr) He who carries the magical cauldron. This cauldron was said to bring the deceased back to life. Also known as the protector of the Bards, he was noted for being a harpist and a musician.
The other son of Llyr Manannon, He who has the helmet to make him invisible.
