Welsh Deities

The gods and goddesses in Welsh myths were like the Irish deities, living in Wales, England and Scotland. They inhabited and ruled over the land with mortals. These Welsh deities were powerful rulers of the isle of Britain, establishing mighty dynasties, particularly in Wales and elsewhere.

The deities found here come mainly from the first four tales of the Mabinogion. Some of the names also appeared in other tales in the Mabinogion, as well as some scattered sources of the Welsh texts.
