Sucellus

Culture: Gaulish (Celtic)   Also called: "the Good Striker"

Sucellus is shown in Gaulish art with a long-handled hammer or mallet and often a small barrel, suggesting associations with both protective striking power and with provision, possibly including wine or ale; he is frequently paired in inscriptions with the goddess Nantosuelta.

Associations

Protective strength, provision and abundance, partnership (with Nantosuelta).

Ways people honor him (modern)

• Provide for others generously and reliably
• Reflect on protection paired with generosity, not force alone
• Keep a small hammer or mallet token on the altar
• Research surviving Gallo-Roman statuary depicting him, the main source of his iconography

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.
