Irish Gods: Meet the Deities of Ancient Celtic Mythology

The gods of Ireland are complex and varied, a unique pantheon which doesn’t nearly fit comparisons with other better known religions. I’ve written a series of posts covering individual gods and will continue to develop more as my research progresses. Please see here for a detailed summary of the Irish gods themselves. You can also browse my infographics on the Irish gods.
