I'm surprised that only one person likes the god who is basically the main character of the gods, Lugus

Yeah, I'd expect Lugus to be one of the favorites in your poll. I think a lot of people are more familiar with Norse Gods vs Celtic

Well I already have the Morrigan in my sig so that is what I voted for. My favourite Gaelic gods are Lir and his son Manannán mac Lir who are sea gods. One of my favourite ancient stories is the Children of Lir.
