British (Welsh) Gods
It is believed that as the Irish migrated into Welsh territory in the
late Roman period they brought with them their gods and goddesses and
they were mutated into a Welsh or British version of these energies. The
Children Of Don were very much like the People of the Goddess Danu. They
all possessed similar skills to their Irish versions. For instance, one
of the Children of Don was Govannan, god of smithing and brewing, very
much the same incarnation as Gobniu in Irish traditions. Ludd or Nudd was the equivalent of Nuada, both having silver hands and a lethal sword
as rulers. Gwydion was the more important god like Dagda and Lug. He was
skilled in both war and peace, and even survived trials from hostile powers
the way that Dagda was also tested with insurmountable obstacles. He also
was skilled in poetry and grace, as well as possessing magical powers.
He was worshipped in Wales.
Another Child Of Don was Arianrod, a goddess named after the Corona Borealis.
The there was Llew, her child, who was similar the god Lug in Irish traditions.
Many of the Children Of Don let their names be used for constellations
like Cassiopeia (Llys Don), the Milky Way (Caer Gwydion), Corona Borealis (Caer Arianrod). This does not mean that they were part of the sky myth.
This part is still unclear to historians.
The British gods and Welsh gods have much in common with their Irish cousins. The major gods are Ludd, Gwydion, Arianrod, llew, Llys, Don, and Govannan. They are all known as the Children of Don.
