Albiorix

Albiorix is a Celtic theonym attested in modern reference works as a Gaulish divine name that, in available summaries, is presented as an epithet or local identification of the Roman god Mars. The surviving remarks in the supplied sources are limited to name listings and disambiguation entries rather than narrative myth or cult detail.

Ankou

The Breton personification of death — the last person to die in a parish each year who drives a creaking cart collecting the dead, whose appearance or sound presages death.

Anu

Anu (also Ana, Anann, Anand) is a mother-figure in early Irish tradition associated with nourishment, territorial fertility and prosperity—especially in Munster—and is variably conflated with other maternal or war-related goddesses in later sources.

Banshee

Breton Mythology

A collection of explanatory and heroic tales forming part of the Celtic mythos, rooted in ancient Celtic tradition. (Note: 1. Power tier: Primordial is incorrect; it should be Ancient (deity-level) as Breton mythology is rooted in ancient Celtic tradition but doesn't match the primordial level of cosmic entities. 2. Origi)

Clṻd

Clṻd (reconstructed Brittonic: Clṻd / Clọ:tā; Latin: Clōta) is a hypothesised, place-bound river-goddess inferred for the River Clyde basin. The figure is a scholarly reconstruction from hydronymy, regional archaeology (notably a 1967 tricephalic statue near the Clyde), and the widespread Celtic pattern of female water-deities; direct evidence of cult or rites is not preserved in the cited sources.

Condatis

Condatis is a local Celtic deity attested in Roman Britain, known from a small group of Latin votive inscriptions in which he is consistently identified with the Roman god Mars (inscriptions read 'Mars Condatis'). The name derives from the Celtic word condate, 'confluence', and the deity is associated with river‑junctions and related sacred geography; some scholars have proposed a link with healing waters, but direct ritual details are not preserved.

Daolghas

Member of the Fianna, a band of warriors in Irish mythology, with supernatural abilities. (Note: * Power tier: Inconsistent with abilities described; should be Primordial or Ancient due to its cosmic/deity-level powers. * Abilities: Not entirely accurate; it's specifically stated that Daolghas ca)

Echtra Cormaic

A tale in Irish mythology recounting the journey of high-king Cormac mac Airt to the Land of Promise, a realm associated with Manannán mac Lir. (Note: 1. The source does not mention Echtra Cormaic's power tier, so it should be removed or marked as unknown. 2. Add an appearance description based on Irish mythological descriptions of high-king Cormac )

Ecne

Ecne is the personification of wisdom in Irish/Celtic mythic tradition, attested in modern summaries as a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann and glossed in Old Irish as 'wisdom' (ecna, ecne). Sources present Ecne genealogically as the offspring of three brothers and as connected to the goddess Anu/Ananna, with variant accounts assigning ambiguous gender and, in one later report, an association with poetry.

Fairy

A class of anthropomorphic supernatural beings found across multiple European folk traditions, fairies are magical, liminal entities variously described as spirits, an older race, or enchanted people; their depiction ranges from human-sized to diminutive and their attributes and moral alignment vary by region and period.
