6 gods and goddesses from the Celtic world:

Angus (probably from Angus Og, an Irish Celtic god)
Lugh (probably from Lugh Lamfhada, also an Irish Celtic god)
Nuada (again, an Irish Celtic god)
Owain (probably Irish Celtic [I'm using outside resources concerning his background, please forgive me])

Ceridwen (I believe she was a Welsh Celtic goddess, but don't quote me)
Rhiannon (definately Welsh Celtic goddess. Read previos post concerning SCA and names for exact place to find her)
