The Celtic Pantheon...short version

I believe in the Mother Goddess and the Horned God. The list below are just a few of the many many Gods and Goddesses that people worship...many people have many names for these deities so forgive me if the list is incomplete. My personal dieties, the ones I call in my rituals are, the Goddess Cerridwen, and the God Belenos...of course they're not the only ones I call upon, I call upon Hestia, Greek Goddess of Hearth and Home and Anubis, Egyptian God of Protection (amoung other things) when I sweep my room with my besom before my rituals.
