The Tuatha de Danaan, old Gods and Goddesses of Ireland.
My patron Goddess is the Morrigan. She is the Great Queen, the Shape-Shifter. Queen of Spectres, Goddess of Sex and Death. She is the wolf on the battlefield and the raven croaking above. She has a crooked smile and a lazy eye... but she is hot.
Anyway, here is a poem/invocation I wrote about the Tuatha de Danaan...
O Flidais [FLEE-daws] give your gifts away,
Shape-shifter of the woodlands near,
The deepest wood is where you play,
With beastly eyes a-glistening.
Your sleigh is drawn by swiftest deer,
Call your cattle to light of day,
The darkest grove you cannot fear,
Your forest friends are listening.
O Lugh Lamhfadha [loo lahm-faw-daw], mighty Sun,
Step forth and cast your breathless charm,
Druid, Poet, Mason as one,
Your courage never wavering.
O Lugh Samildanach [loo sahmil-dawn-ahkh] Long Arm,
Show your spear when battle is done,
Your many skills keep us from harm,
All Dannan foes left quavering.
O brightest Brigidh [bree] we call your name,
Protect us with your fiery shield,
Sunrise born from tower of flame,
To sound of battle clamoring.
Your hand protects both home and field,
The poets’ heart fills at your name,
The midwife’s touch is yours to wield,
The pound of smithy’s hammering.
In Dagda [in doy-DAW], Eochu Ollathair [yoh-huh ull-aw-hehr],
Your cauldrons bottom has no end,
Play your harps three songs so fair,
To start the springtime flowering.
The Dannan [dawn-in] people you defend,
A single blow lays nine men bare,
The second brings life back again,
Your bright abundance showering.
O Morrigu [mohr-ree-guh] Goddess of chance,
Wrap your crimson mantle round you,
Lead your macabre spectral dance,
Your bloody lips a-quivering.
While shrieking overhead you flew,
With sooty eye and crooked glance,
Badb Catha [Bibe caw-ha], Nemhain [nehv-an], Macha [maw-haw] knew,
To start the slain host shivering.
O Dark One, Donn [dawn], Lord of the Dead,
You stand alone on distant shores,
To draw the scal [skawl] out from the head,
Our loved ones all left sorrowing.
Silent you stand before all doors,
Where mortal life and death are wed,
To Tir Na n’Og [tyeer nahn-ohg] we point our oars,
Your baying hounds fast following.

I worship Celtic deities. Taranis, Cernunnos, Lugh (Lugus), and Epona are the deities that I am closest to. I also honor Sequana, Don (Welsh), and Sulis---as well as a few local land and water deities.
For a basic description of Gaulish (Celtic) deities:

A short story:
a young christian of 13 , asked his mother >>> what were people worshiping at the time of Adam, Noah, Abraham,......until Moses?
she answered >>> God !!!.
he asked >>> why we worship jesus then?
she answered >>>because it is written in the bible.
he asked >>> what will be the faith of the people before the coming of jesus ?
she answered >>> I don't know.
So, After thinking about this even more, knowing that there is
a religion ( Islam) that worships only one God , like the people
before. Again ,he too believed this. And became a muslim at
age 17 himself. Why? Because he could not accept or find reasons to believe in the trinity concept. None of the people before nor after any of the phophets believed in this. This belief
is only in the bible( new testament) not in the old testament or
the Quran.Can we trust or believe blindly in the bible and ignore
what most people on the earth have all believed.

Like Kveldulf, I appeal to the Norse pantheon, specifically Odin, Freya, and Freyr.

Regularly? Cernunnos and Hecate.
Sometimes others as well that may be attuned to a specific need.

Those of my Northern European ancestors, most specifically Odin, Loki and Hela from that pantheon.
