Anyone know a name of a pagan or celtic rogue god?

Depends on what you mean by "rogue." If you're talking about a dashing and mischevious "trickster", there's a number in the Celtic pantheon - Manannan probably being the most well-known. If you're talking about someone who "goes bad" and sides with the forces of evil, Bres is the first to come to mind. I'm afraid nothing is really coming to mind as a Celtic "theives' deity."

Anyone know a name of a pagan or celtic rogue god?
Any of the Unseelie would do, I imagine. But being an Unseelie, the "names" are not made public, for to make the name public is to grant power. The Unseelie are really bad Fae folk. Or perhaps Nuada. He started good, but turned rogue.





Nuada (Nudd or Ludd) is the Celtic god of healing and much more. He had an invincible sword that would cut his enemies in half. He lost his hand in battle which meant that he was no longer eligible to rule as king until his brother made him a silver replacement. He was killed by the god of death Balor.
Reply:Yes, Loki. But he was Norse, not Celtic.
Reply:There are many Celtic traditions, but if you're into the Welsh, I'd go with Gwydion, Son of Don.





Here's some stories about Gwydion for you to ponder:

Others include Puck, Robin Goodfellow and Bres.
Reply:I too, would have to agree that Loki is an excellent answer for a Celtic Rogue God. Loki is known as the "trickster" God.





Have a lovely rest of the day.

Reply:I believe you are correct, Loki is the most famous example.
Reply:"Puck" is a well documented trickster sprite in English, French and celtic-influenced mythology, often portrayed as a woodland dweller. He plays tricks and creates mischief, but can also be unexpectedly helpful. As it was bad luck to speak his name (and thus summon him) he was referred to as "Robin Goodfellow".





Hob, or Hobgoblin is another English name for him, and a Hob in the north of England is a helpful though fickle supernatural being who will creep into your house at night to do the chores you leave undone; leaving out a bowl of milk in payment was seen as a way of encouraging this continued assistance. However, if you enrage the sprite, (e.g. by giving it clothes) it will wreak havoc on your house and disappear.





In Scotland such creatures are known as "Brownies", and in Germany they are called "kobolds".
Reply:Loke, embodiment of the sacred fire or energy.
Reply:Uh oh... definitely Loki.


Yep.


Definitely Loki.








Loki is not Celtic, but he is a Pagan God... Like the question asks for...
