The Gaulish Pantheon

(as best as I can reconstruct it):

Brigantia:

 


Cernunnos: A God almost entirely attested to on the Continent, He seems to be a God who is associated with the sea and sailors. While his name only appears once in total, Gods with like attributes appear across Gaul, and thus we can possibly see the name ‘Cernunnos’ as describing an entire group of deities with like characteristics: antlers, torcs, sitting with arms in the orans position.  He is often surrounded with animals, including a ram-headed snake, dogs, bulls, and stags.

Epona: Horse Goddess.

 


Esus: (It’s best to see my longer explanation)

 


Matres: Mother Goddesses, Goddess of the river Marne. Not Maiden-Mother-Crone.

 


Sucellus: Hammer God

 


Sequanna: River goddess, Seine

 


Tarranis: Sky God.  That’s a lightning bolt and a set of bolts under his right arm.  Note the solar wheel in his left hand.
