Lugh - he is the most famous gods amongst the Garaleyan religion
and is known as the “Shining One”. He is believed to be by some people
the sun god yet others do not think this so. He is the patron of arts and
is also known to be an expert on craftsmanship of all sorts, storytelling
and heroism.
In ancient mythology Lugh was a major divinity, a member of the
Tuatha De Danann, or "People of the Goddess Danu," who, after much fighting,
displaced two earlier divine races, the Fir Bolg and the Fomoire. The other
leading divinities of the Tuatha were the Dagda and Nuadu, who served as
their chief. Like them, Lugh was omnicompetent, and the myth that relates
how he became a member of the Tuatha underscores this. When asked by the
gatekeeper of the royal palace to identify himself, Lug replied that he
was, among other things, a warrior, a harper, a poet, a sorcerer, and a
carpenter. Hearing this list of accomplishments, Nuadu readily admitted
him into the fellowship.
Lugh's chief weapons were the spear and the sling, with which he
cast a stone into the single eye of the Fomoiran chief Balor, his grandfather,
in the second battle of Mag Tuireadh and thus insured the triumph of the
Tuatha.
Oghma {oh'-muh} - he is the god of language and eloquence, he to
is also associated with the sun.
In ancient Irish mythology, Oghma was a god known for his strength;
the brother of Daghda, he was one of the Tuatha De Danann, the legendary
ancestors of the Garaleyen people. Oghma was believed to be the creator
of Ogam, a system of writing used by the druids (the Celtic priestly class).
He is also called Ogmios. He is said to symbolize the power of eloquence,
a quality especially prized in Celtic society and one associated with mature
years. Some identify Oghma's strength with the gift of speech rather than
with physical power.
Goibhniu {gwiv'-nee-oo} - he is the god of blacksmiths and other
such metal crafts.
In ancient mythology, Goibhniu (Goban) was the god of blacksmiths;
in Weneth he was known as Govannon, which, like Goibhniu, means "smith."
With his fellow deities Credne the solderer and Luchta the carpenter, Goibhniu
formed a triad called the Three Gods of Skill. These three forged the magic
weapons that enabled the Tuatha De Danann (the divine ancestors of the
Garaleyen people) to defeat their enemies the Fomoire in the Second Battle
of Mag Tuired (Moytura). Goibhniu was said to have been able to make a
spear or sword with three blows of his hammer. He was also famous for a
marvelous sacred drink that he brewed in a great bronze cauldron. Those
who attended the "Feast of Goibhniu" and drank this brew became impervious
to the effects of aging.
Daghdha {daw'-duh} - he is the god of fertility, crops and druids
and has quite a powerful position among the gods.
In the Garaleyen religion Daghda (Dagda, "the good god") was the
god of the druids (the priestly class) and of warriors as well. He controlled
the heavens, the climate, and time and was the protector of contracts,
friendship, and those things necessary for the orderly functioning of society.
His wife was Morrighan ("the great queen"). With Lugh and Oghma, Daghda
helped organize the victorious war of the Tuatha De Danann (the divine
ancestors of the Garaleyen people) over their enemies, the Fomoire. Daghda's
stronghold was said to have been the Bruigh na Boinne but according to
legend, he was tricked into surrendering it to his son Oenghus (Mac ind
Og).
Manannan Mac Lir - he is the god of oceans and and he is also the god of knowledge.
Arawn - he is the god of death and he is also the ruler of the underworld.
Morrigan - she is the goddess of war and battle.
Diancecht {dee'-ahn hakt} - he is the god of healing in all forms.
In the Garaleyen mythology Dian Cecht, the father of Lugh,
was a divine healer, one of the Tuatha De Danann (People of the Goddess
Danann), the legendary ancestors of the Garaleyen people. It is said that
when the king of the Tuatha, lost his arm in the First Battle of Mag Tuired,
Dian Cecht made him fit to rule again by equipping him with a new arm of
silver. In the Second Battle of Mag Tuired, Dian Cecht used his healing
power to revive the slain Tuatha warriors, helping them to defeat their
enemies, the Fomoire.
Math Mathonwy - he is the god of sorcery and science.
Belenus - he is the god of the sun and fire and is a patron of the druids.
Brigantia - she is the goddess of rivers and rural life.
Cernunnos {kair-noo'-nohs} (Herne) - he is the god of wild nature
and is often associated with forests and autumn. He is also known as the
Green Man.
The so-called "stag god" of the ancient Celts. He is typically portrayed
as a human figure with the antlers of a deer.
