Sucellus was possibly the god of feast and providence. His consort was Nantosuelta, the goddess of nature and water.

Sucellus was depicted carrying a long-handed hammer and a cauldron, suggesting that those who invoked his name, either ask him for protection or provision. This sort of associated him with the Irish god, Dagda, because Dagda's weapon was a huge club on wheels, and he also possessed a magic cauldron.

Sucellus was also seen accompanied by a raven and a three-headed dog. These link him to the funerary practice.

Sucellus was possibly also the god of the woodland and agriculture (fertility). He was therefore equated with the Roman woodland god Silvanus.
