Cunobelinus Betullicnos

Presenting: Cernunnos: Beyond the Horns
This presentation will dive into both the ancient and recent past, uncovering how exactly the modern interpretation of the Gaulish deity has transformed significantly from how the ancient Celts worshiped this liminal dewoi.

Presenting: Reconstructing the Helvetii
Who are the Helvetii? In his presentation, Artocatos answers why he reconstructs their practices, culture, their gods, and how he goes about reconstructing them. He will also be answering the question on why it’s important to do tribal reconstructions in general.

Segomaros Widugeni
Segomâros Widugeni is one of the leading figures in the Gaulish Polytheist Revival. He is the author of the book Ancient Fire: an Introduction to Gaulish Celtic Polytheism, perhaps the first book in the English language written to introduce readers to the contemporary Gaulish Polytheist path.

He has two Master’s degrees, speaks two Celtic languages, and lives in the woods of central Florida with his wife, three dogs, three cats, and a coop full of ducks and chickens.
Presenting: Introduction to Gaulish worldview and Deities
An Introduction to Gaulish Polytheism will be a short, concise introduction to what is known of the ancient Gaulish worldview, as well as a number of deities shared across multiple tribes and regions. Topics covered will include Cosmic Principles, the Three Worlds, sacredness and holiness, various virtues, words for Fate, Dewoi, Toutatis, Matronae, Talamonodêuoi, Dusioi, and Anderoi. Information provided will be simple, easily digestible, and practical where appropriate.
Branos Carnutodruidon
Branos Carnutodrûidon is a devout Galatis, seer, and crafter. Known for the handmade craft from his workshop and forge, as well as the work into creating a reconstructed Druidism within the Gaulish community. Devoted to Sucellus, he operates the Carnutian Workshop and is has been studying druidry for many cycles.
