Sucellus
Sucellus was possibly the god of feasting 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 asked him for either 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 funerary practices.
Sucellus was possibly also the god of the woodland and agriculture (fertility). He was therefore equated with the Roman woodland god Silvanus.
