The Celtics had thousands of gods. They did not write about them, only pass them on through oral traditions. One of the main sources we have was Julius Caesar, who wrote that Mercury was the most honored of the Celtic gods. The also highly valued Apollo, Mars, Jupiter, Minerva, and Brigit. However, these were not their Celtic names, but the names that Caesar equaled them to from his own religion.
Teutates is believed to have been an important war god, and human sacrifices were made to him. The people being used as offerings were drowned in vats. The names of most Celtic gods were only ever recorded once or twice ever, so most of the knowledge has been lost.
