THE GOD OF THE BLUE STONES

Danaglas is also called the Serpent in the Well and the Flower King. He is the spirit of Spring, youth, and potency. His seed is the life-giving moisture of rain and rising springs. He also represents the human Divine Spirit, from His quality of pure innocence. The Blue God appears androgynous; he has the breasts of a young girl, and an erect penis. His body is a light, silvery blue. He wears about His neck a great serpent, and in His hair are peacock-eye feathers. He is represented by the stones in the avenue at Avebury. His emblem is a golden peacock with a silver star on its breast.

THE HARVEST LORD

Twr (Welsh for tower) is the Corn King. He is the spirit of Summer, a spirit of Light and Heat in its aspect of nourishing and energizing life. He is the son and lover of the Earth Mother. The Harvest Lord appears as a stag-headed man. His body is completely golden: skin, hair, eyes, and horns. His neck is wreathed with a garland of summer flowers and green leaves about the neck. His emblem is a golden sun.

THE WINTER KING

Arddu (Old Welsh, "royal darkness") is the Dark Lord and King of the Dead. He is the spirit of winter and death. In Witchcraft, Death is called the Great Teacher, and so the Winter King, as the bringer of death, is the giver of wisdom and knowledge, the Guardian of the Mysteries. The Winter King has the black wings of a bat, the breasts of an old woman, and the head, horns, and legs of a goat. Between his horns rises a flaming torch. On his forehead is a large red jewel. The Bull is also associated with him.

THE HORNED KING

Kernunnos, the horned one, the Celtic "Father of Animals" with his companion Stag and Boar is associated with Cernunnos, connected with fertility and wealth. Cernunnos is depicted as the 'horned god', with the antlers of a stag, most notably on the famous Gundestrup cauldron discovered in Denmark. This is the aspect of the wild hunt in which the spirits of the dead are transported to the underworld. The horns of the stag are symbolic of the Lord of the Animals. He is an archetype of masculine energy in balance with the natural world. He is the god of wisdom & woodlands; God of green and growing things; he is pictured sitting cross-legged with antlers growing out of his head, in meditative entrancement with nature; around his neck Kernunnos wears a torc, commemorating his sacred marriage as husbandman to Mother Earth; with his right hand he bestows upon the seeker a torc of initiation. Held under control in his intuitive left hand is the ram-headed serpent connoting sexual power and vitality. He is also known as Hern the Hunter, saxon god of wisdom, and as such he is often pictured leading the Wild Hunt with a pack of white hounds with red ears.

The Welsh Tribal Gods are further divided into three families: the children of Donu (Dione, Diana); second, the children of Nudd (Lludd, Lud); and third, the children of Llyr (Le'r, Lir). A fourth family, the Children of the Dagda is also included below as it's dieties were shared by Ireland and Wales. These Gods may also be defined within the three broad categories of Gods and Goddesses within the Three Worlds: Primal Underworld which is also Stellar; Solar and planetary...the divine powers of creation; and the Lunar forces of nature controlling the order of living beings on the Earth.
