[Cro Dreoilin] Denver Pagan Pride Day

[Kelley Forbes]

Crow,

How nice to see that you're still around. How is Iowa treating you?

Here's some info on the God and Goddesses you were asking about:

Camulos -- Important God to the Gauls and the Brythonic Insular Celts; 
equated with Mars in the interpretatio. Associated with rams, boars, and 
oak.

Sadb -- The Deer-Mother of Oisin by Finn, turned into a deer as 
punishment for turning down the advances of a Druid. Finn first hunted 
her in her Doe form, but recognized her as human when his hounds, also 
humans turned animal, could not catch her. He fell madly and deeply in 
love with her and they were married. She later was forcefully returned 
to deer form, taken from her husband and Finn spent seven years 
searching for her, at which point he found his son, Oisin, in the forest.

Corchen -- I was not familiar with her before you brought her up, so I 
went and did a little research. I can find a few mentions of her online, 
but nothing in my more reputable off-line sources. The online sources 
mention her as a Manx Goddess about which little is known. Snakes _do_ 
have a very powerful roll in the Celtic mythos, however, so you would be 
best to concentrate your studies in that direction. I also notice that 
her name closely resembles (Although, I would not go so far as to say 
"is cognate with.") the name of sites associated with The Cailleach, who 
is also associated with snakes, so some research on her is also probably 
warranted.

Hope this helps!
