What can you tell me about the Celtic religion?

Animist/Pagan with druid wizardry

Also Cernunnos isn't important at all, unless you're a Wiccan

It wasn't really much of a religion. Every bumfuck hamlet had a completely different pantheon and there was no codified list of deities or method of worship. It was just kind of a theistic animism.

Which are just some of the reasons why Celtic Neopaganism and Wicca are baloney.

Not much since not a lot of practises, beliefs and gods survived, they did believed in reincarnation though

Celts do not has pantheon. In the woods hierarchy not exist.

Celts weren't unified. Irish mythology differs to Brittanic.

What if we limit the scope to the most relevant celts? What can you tell me about the Gaulish religion? Who the fuck is Tutatis?

(I'm not OP though)

The Druids did their religion a great disservice, when they were introduced to writing they refused to write it down because they believed the knowledge was too sacred, now its lost

I've never been entirely clear, are shit like banshees and cait sith Celtic?

>>434616
They fucked horses ritually.

Not that weird. Zoroastrians needed several centuries if not more than a millennium (the date for the composition of the oldest parts of the avesta is disputed) to decide themselves and write their sacred texts.

'Gauls', like all Celtic groups, are only a very vague group of delated tribes that spoke dialects of a common language.

Few deities were worshipped across the tribal cultures and instead local patron deities were the norm. One such example of an inter-tribal deity is Toutatis (Teutates, Tutatis etc.) who existed in a trinity of gods together with Taranis and Esus, Teutatis being literally translated as "god of the tribe" and appears to have been a deity of royalty and war, Taranis being the typical sky/thundergod and Esus being usually associated with Merkur from the Roman pantheon, becoming a mercantile and messenger deity.

Sources and archrological finds indicate that deities were closely associated with rivers, moors and healing springs, as well as certain mountains. We must assume that each locally important natural landmark was therefore considered a sacred thing which mus be appeasex through sacrifice.

ancient bronies when will they learn

They likely believed in the common sort of Indo-European belief-systems that they were also a part of. Many cognates between 'em. A male sky god, a female motherly fertility/moon god, a hot-headed war god, a younger goddess of beauty/wisdom, various elemental spirits, etc...
