Llyr

Culture: Welsh (Celtic)   Domain: The sea (largely by name association)

Llyr is a shadowy figure, father of Bran the Blessed and Branwen in the Mabinogion's Second Branch, whose name is closely linked to the sea, though few direct myths about him personally survive; he is best understood through his more prominent children rather than through stories of his own.

Associations

Ways people honor him (modern)

Approach any deity with respect and do your own research. Practices vary widely between traditions, and modern devotional practice often goes beyond what survives in ancient sources.
