Have you checked out this site? God Checker is an easy-to-use, easy-to-comprehend site that is awesome when you just want to get the basics flat out on any deity of a bunch of pantheons. I think it's great... when you just want something short and sweet. Though when they talk about the myths they can be kind of vague... but still, it's a great search engine. You can search by name, pantheon, gender, or by what it governs. And for that, it's pretty sweet (it's one of the ways I get ideas for my artwork). Anywho... wondering what you all think of it.

I've been using god checker for awhile now. I love it, though I think they take awhile to update it.

they need a search mode to look for deities related to a specific thing. i'm looking for a god i worshipped in my last life. it's a celtic god of war or battle or death or something like that, but i can't remember the name.

They do. You can search by attribute. And, if all else fails, you can look at the A-Z list of all 120 Celtic deities.

War and Death? I'm guessing that it would be the Morrigan.

Which Celtic pantheon? Irish, Scottish, Welsh, or Continental?
As for the site, it looks interesting. I'm a bit disappointed, though. The first god I look up, there's an error in the information (minor detail, but it's still nice to see it done accurately). It looks like a good resource to get you going, however.

The site is useful, but it really lacks detail on the mythology. So it has limited usefulness to me. A good starter ref, but not great for any sort of intense research, unfortunately.

I find it too vague to be useful, but that's me. I'm always looking for the right balance between WAY TOO MUCH, which I find often and not enough to get a real taste or any sort of understanding.

I usually spoke to Her more protective side most of the time, and I also went into shock right after, so i think my fear amused her enough not to punish me.
