I am ecclectic. I adore Lakshmi - the Hindu Goddess of prosperity (not just money and wealth, but a proserous life).
Brigid - Celtic hearth Goddess
Boudica - the Celtic Warrior Queen. Not defined as a diety, but I love the legend of her and think she is a wonderful image of strength.
I am still defining the God aspect for myself. Reading what others write will be great.
Thanks for the great question!!!

Irish Celtic, though I've had a few chats with Odin out of courtesy. My favorite's Manannan mac Lir.
Favorite story? Probably the story about how Cuchullain got his name.

My deities are mostly Gaulish. Taranis, Lugus, Cernunnos, and Epona. I'm drawn to Welsh mythology (The Mabinogion) and my favorite story varies but usually it's the fourth branch, Math Ap Mathonwy:

i'm ecclectic... and atheist/pantheist actually. i enjoy all the stories and see them as wonderful symbolic myths that contain much wisdom. i can't really pick a favorite, perhaps the story of Spider Woman? or the Mother.... so many good ones!
but i am the odd pagan that believes in no god/desses....

The Aesir and Vanir. That is, the Norse gods and goddesses.

Norse, primarily Freyr, with whom I have a fultrui oath.
"Njal's Saga" is probably my favorite work from heathenry's historic literature; Bryggjemann (brewing man) rites are some of my favorite traditions.

I focus on the Goddess the most...I honor Apollo for healing, though.
