Cernunnos was the Horned One, because he worn antlers of the stag on his head. He was often called the "Lord of the Wild Things".

He was clearly a god of nature, and probably of fertility of animals and agriculture. Cernunnos was also god of grains and fruits.

Cernunnos was equated with another god with stag-like antlers on his head, Belatucadnos, a British god of war. The Romans associated Cernunnos with their god Mercury (Hermes), though Julius Caesar associated him with Dis Pater, cthlonic god of the underworld. The early Christians associated Cernunnos as the Devil or Anti-Christ, because of pagan ritual.

The worship of Cernunnos can be found in the France, Alps, Italy, and in Britain. The most famous depiction of Cerrunnos can be found on the Gundestrup Cauldron (c. 1st century BC).

Fionn mac Cumhaill (in early texts Finn or Find mac Cumail or mac Umaill, anglicised to Finn McCool in the Romantic Period of the 1800s) was a mythical hunter-warrior of Irish mythology, occurring also in the mythologies of Scotland and the Isle of Man. The stories of Fionn and his followers, the Fianna, form the Fenian cycle or Fiannaidheacht, much of it purpoted to be narrated by Fionn's son, the poet Oisín.

After he beat me good, it was the only name I could think of for my new warrior.

In English folklore, Herne the Hunter is an equestrian ghost associated with Windsor Forest and Great Park in the English county of Berkshire. His appearance is notable in the fact that he has antlers upon his head.

The first literary mention of Herne is in William Shakespeare's play, The Merry Wives of Windsor, though there are several theories attempting to place the origins of Herne as predating any evidence for him by connecting his appearance to pagan deities or ancient archetypes.

The earliest written account of Herne comes from Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor in 1597:

Sometime a keeper here in Windsor Forest,
Doth all the winter-time, at still midnight,
Walk round about an oak, with great ragg'd horns;
And there he blasts the tree, and takes the cattle,
And makes milch-kine yield blood, and shakes a chain
In a most hideous and dreadful manner.
You have heard of such a spirit, and well you know
The superstitious idle-headed eld
Receiv'd, and did deliver to our age,
This tale of Herne the Hunter for a truth.

— William Shakespeare, The Merry Wives of Windsor

This records several aspects of Herne's ghost which is said to have haunted Windsor Forest (covering all of East Berkshire and parts of south Buckinghamshire, northeast Hampshire and northwest Surrey) and specifically the Great Park ever since his death. Further details have entered local folklore from reported sightings , such as those in the 1920s. He appears antlered, sometimes beneath the tree on which he was hanged, known as "Herne's Oak", but more often riding his horse, accompanied by other wild huntsmen and the captured souls of those he has encountered on his journey. He is thus a phantom of ill omen, particularly for the country and, specifically, the Royal Family. He has a phosphorescent glow and is accompanied by demon hounds, a horned owl and other creatures of the forest.

Lugus (Lugh or Lug in Irish)was one of the most popular deities to Celts. Several cities were named after him, Lugdunum (Lyon) in southern France, Lugdunum Batavorum (Leiden) in the Netherland, and Luguvallium (Carlisle) in northern England. Lugus was also worshipped in several sites on the Spanish province of Tarraconensis (including the tribes of Gallaeci, Astures, Cantabri and Celtiberians.

Lugus was the god of light or of the sun, where the Romans identified him with their god Apollo. With skill in many crafts, he was also identified with another Roman god, Mercury (Hermes).

He was the result of some hanky panky by MANANNAN-MACLIR who did a bit of shape-changing to impersonate a king whose wife he fancied. When the resultant baby was three days old, Big Mac sneaked him off to his 'Land of Promise".

MONGAN grew up to inherit his father's shape-changing abilities. He put them to such good use that no-one knows what sort of shape he is in.

Ogmios was a Gallic god known for his strength. The Romans identified Ogmios as Hercules (Heracles to the Greeks), wearing a cloak made of lion's hide, carrying a club and bow.

Ogmios also appeared as an old man who was followed by a crowd with their ears attached to his mouth by a golden chain. This was to indicate he was the god of eloquence, keeping the crowd spellbound with his oratory.

Ogmios was identified as the Irish god Ogma (Oghma). Ogma was the son of the goddess Danu and Dagda. He was the god of eloquence and poetry.

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.

In Gallo-Roman religion, the Xulsigiae were triple goddesses worshipped at the healing-spring shrine in Augusta Treverorum (present-day Trier). Edith Wightman suggests that they "may be local nymphs of the spring"; on the other hand, she also links their name to that of the Suleviae, whom she characterizes as "domestic goddesses". Their temple, a smaller shrine near the monumental Lenus Mars temple, has also yielded clay figures of the genii cucullati. The name itself is attested only from one inscription, where it accompanies that of Lenus Mars:

LENO MARTI
ET XVLSIGIIS
L VIRIVS DISE
TO V S L M

"To Lenus Mars and the Xulsigiae, Lucius Virius Diseto freely and deservedly fulfilled his vow."

In Welsh mythology, Gwydion is a magician appearing prominently in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi and the ancient poem Cad Goddeu. He is the brother of Gilfaethwy and Arianrhod, and the nephew of Math fab Mathonwy. In the Mabinogion he is called the son of the goddess Dôn, making it likely he is an euhemerized god or demi-god. The name Gwydion may mean 'To Speak Poetry'.

In Irish mythology, Balor (Balar, Bolar) of the Evil Eye was a king of the Fomorians, a race of giants.
His father was Buarainech and his wife was Cethlenn. According to legend, he lived on Tory Island.

Balor was notable for his one eye, which could kill anyone it looked upon.
He gained this power as a child when watching his father's druids preparing poisonous spells,
the fumes of which rose into his eye. His eye was normally kept closed,
only to be opened on the battlefield by four men using a handle fitted to his eyelid, or, in some versions,
a system of ropes and pulleys.

According to prophecy, Balor was to be killed by his grandson.
To avoid his fate, he locked his daughter, Ethlinn, in a tower made of crystal to keep her from becoming pregnant.
However, Cian, one of the Tuatha Dé Danann, with the help of the druidess Birog, managed to enter the tower.
She gave birth to triplets by him, but Balor threw them into the ocean.
Birog saved one, Lugh, and gave him to Manannan mac Lir, who became his foster father.
He was called Lugh Lamhfada and became a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann.

Lugh led the Tuatha in the second Battle of Magh Tuiredh against the Fomorians.
Ogma disarmed Balor during this battle, but Balor killed Nuada with his eye.
Lugh shot a sling-stone which drove Balor's eye out the back of his head,
where it continued to wreak its deadly power on the Fomorian army.
In other versions Lugh blinded Balor with a spear made by Goibniu,
or decapitated him and used his eye against the Fomorians.

One legend tells that, when Balor was slain by Lugh, Balor's eye was still open when he fell face first into the ground.
Thus his deadly eye beam burned a hole into the earth. Long after,
the hole filled with water and became a lake which is now known as Loch na Suil,
or "Lake of the Eye", which is to be found in County Sligo.
