It is not sure if all of the above were considered as gods.
For example the Tuatha De Danann were a people that lived in Ireland
before the Milesians (Gaelic people) came. They had many special
gifts and talents, like poetry, music, skills to work the land
and magic. After having lost some great battles to the Milesians,
they didn't have much to do with mankind, though sometimes deals
could be made. No offerings or rituals were involved (usually)
in contacting them, and Lirs children are even said to have become
Christians. But nonetheless the Tuatha De Danann were a people
with exeptional skills and great heroes, so I kept them in my
list.
