"The sun sails high in a neverdark sky
And Maponos rides the tide of summer
Tall are the grasses grown in the fields
the Breeze sighs through them, singing of summer
The forests adorned with a crown of green
beneath plays the god, in the glades of summer
The harp of Maponos vibrates the air,
and late, in the twilight, still it’s summer". - Heron

Maponus is a god of youth, music and hunting. A “Hyperborean Apollo”,
indicating his worship and reach within the region.
He has a strong connection with the village of Lochmaben in Dumfrieshire, Wales.
His name, which is Gallo-Brythonic,
means ‘the son.’
Maponos’ noscript, Arveriatis,
could mean “provider”, with potential
Indication that he was a god of the
Celtic Arverni tribe.

One of my most controversial stances is that I don't believe it is right to jam gods together, often over trivial similarities. Such as names or domains. Here are some examples of why.
Hermes Greek messenger god of trade, etc. Vs. Hermus Greek river god
Hilda, a Valkyrie vs. Holda, Multi-faceted German Witch Goddess
Freya, goddess of magic and fertility Norse Vs. Frey God of Kingship and Fertility Norse
Hera, Greek Queen of the Gods Vs, Frau Hera, German goddess who rides a goose
There are many more examples some of which like Aker (Basque Goat God) and Aker (Egyptian Earth god) are even spelled the same in modern English. Etymology is an inexact science and without written records and all but names all or many of the above gods would be shoved together recklessly. I go off of stories and denoscriptions as well as regions and culture. In the Norse alone there are 3 gods whose names translate to Lord and another 3 who translate to beloved. One of which is in both. Why are we getting rid of gods?-TLK

I sang of heroes from the
far past, of Bran, god-king
of the Island of the Mighty,
whose deeds outreached
all human strength.
I praised leaders of our time,
Rhydderch Hael, whose sword
flamed from hilt to tip,
and Arthur’s own father,
Uther the Pendragon,
who had led war bands
from west and north and the
farthest reach of Logres to the east.
Yet I knew one day my greatest
song would be of Arthur.
He was like no one else,
more bear, more boar, than man,
reckless yet shrewd,
impulsive yet never wild.
His star was the brightest in our heaven.
