Pagan Portals - Gods and Goddesses of Ireland: A Guide to Irish Deities Review: A Concise, Practical Reference to the Gods and Goddesses of Ireland - I came to this book looking for a concise reference of the different gods and goddesses within the Celtic-Irish pantheon to explore in my own budding shaman practice. My expectation was met. The book divides the gods into three categories: Gods of the Thuathe De Dannan, Goddesses of the Thuathe De Dannan, and Other. They're listed alphabetically with each entry offering a brief overview of the roles they've played in the mythical fragments which remain. As an ignorant layman, I can't yet comment on how well her readings square up with what primary historical sources suggest, but I was impressed by her voice - she tried to present the facts, acknowledge the uncertainties, and offered ways forward with a dose of humility and self-skepticism. For example, in the entry on Aengus, she says, "His home is possibly the most famous of all the fairy mounds" and "Smyth conjectures Aengus was conceived at Samhain." She also divides the line between how modern practitioners have viewed a certain deity vs. what's actually in the extant texts - commendably without an ounce of derision or celebration. Each entry ends with the main qualities of the god and preferred offerings, plus references in other texts to particular deities. These references offer a spring-board for the inspired to do their own research. I haven't yet followed up these citations, so I can't speak on how accurate or useful they are. The reading is quite dry, but, hey, it's basically an encyclopedia. I wouldn't want it to waste precious time trying to woo me - I just want the essential. I would have some reservations buying such a slender text in print, but I think $5 on Kindle seems fine. If I stick with this, I see myself referring back to this again-and-again in the coming years, and for this I'm grateful. Review: A definate must-have! - An excellent, concise and practical resource for anyone seeking information on the Irish Dieties. The author does a wonderful job of providing insights into their origins, place in the lore and traditions. Each diety is listed with a suggestion as to ways to go or and their symbolism. The author even includes details on how they honor or connect to the deities they interact with. A must have for anyone wishing to learn more about Irish Gods and Goddesses. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #362,822 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #97 in Celtic Religions (Books) #180 in Wicca #185 in Paganism | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (438) | | Dimensions | 5.57 x 0.3 x 8.47 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1782793151 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1782793151 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Pagan Portals | | Print length | 104 pages | | Publication date | December 9, 2016 | | Publisher | Moon Books | ## Images ![Pagan Portals - Gods and Goddesses of Ireland: A Guide to Irish Deities - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZEVVT5hSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Concise, Practical Reference to the Gods and Goddesses of Ireland *by Z***A on July 30, 2020* I came to this book looking for a concise reference of the different gods and goddesses within the Celtic-Irish pantheon to explore in my own budding shaman practice.

I was not disappointed. This book is a brief reference to Irish deities that is separated into three sections: Tuatha Dé Danaan Gods, Goddesses and then the deities who are not related to the Tuatha Dé Danaan. It is set up in an encyclopedic fashion but does not pretend to be an exhaustive reference. At the same time, there are deities included who are not the ‘usual suspects’, deities who are not, perhaps as generally well known. True to her past performance, the author makes a point of providing a suggested bibliography for further information. This is a very accessible, easy read with very good information and I foresee this being a well-used reference for quick information for such things as ritual writing and memory refreshment. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56308855-pagan-portals-gods-and-goddesses-of-ireland-a-guide-to](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/56308855-pagan-portals-gods-and-goddesses-of-ireland-a-guide-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
