Mine is this guy.  Why? Because he spends most of his time slaying giants and trolls with a hammer. He's basically the embodiment of the ancient Germanic culture, a heroic warrior who slays monsters in defense of mankind. His Celtic counterpart which differs little from him Taranis could be interchanged with him as my favorite. |

cultural practices , like story telling, writing poems, political adisor. this is rahul 'dravid' a sports person from india. he don't look tamil, his surname is dravid  What I'm saying is that a Druid is not an ethnic group. They were the pagan priests of Ireland, Britain, and Gaul. Those people did belong to a an ethnolinguistic family called the Celts. yes, and same group of people, were resisiding in the indus valley civilization, who had a war with the invading aryans. indus valley civilization too had pagan practices, and they had a priestly culture. "A few Vedic tribes from Saptha Sindhva broke RigVedic norms and migrated southward. These numerically outnumbered groups expanding into the trans-gangetic region near the end of the Vedic period (8-6th century BC) tried to use the indigenous Dravidian priesthood to entrench themselves as the new ruling order. Within a few generations of acquiring control over the foreign Gangasthan, the minority Vedic tribes were usurped by the indigenous 'borrowed' priesthood; their Aryan religion, gods and customs mostly deposed and supplanted with indigenous gangetic gods and mythologies; and their new social order (varna or color based) replaced with the pre-existing profession (jati) based Brahmanical caste system ('chatur-varna' ). Through religious manipulation and intrigue, the Vedic in-comers to Gangasthan were usurped and made to surrender their political rule and soon pigeon-holed into becoming the loyal obedient chownkidars of their 'superior' dravidic Brahmanas." www.oocities.org/pak_history/nonhindu.html |

dravida as south indian is modern construct, it actually come from this dravas en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DravaIn ancient times the river was known as Latin: Dravus, cf. Sanskrit: द्रवति, dravati, "flow". The name is most likely of Celtic or Illyrian origin (see Old European hydronymy). The river gives its name to the dravite species of tourmaline. The Drava (along with one of its tributaries, the Slizza) and the Spöl are the only two rivers originating in Italy that belong to the Danube drainage basin. Its main left tributaries (from the north) are the Isel (de) (contributes 39 m³/s), the Möll (25 m³/s), the Lieser (de) (22 m³/s), the Gurk (30 m³/s) and the Lavant (12 m³/s) in Austria, and the Mur (166 m³/s) near Legrad at the Croatian–Hungarian border. Its main right tributaries (from the south) are the Gail (45 m³/s) in Austria, the Meža (12 m³/s) and Dravinja (11 m³/s) in Slovenia, and the Bednja (? m³/s) in Croatia. |

"When they first arrived in the South Asia the Aryans were primarily pastoralists. Their economic life centered around their cattle and wealth was judged on the basis of the size of herds. As the newcomers settled in fertile river valleys, they gradually shifted more to agriculture. They lived in villages consisting of a number of related families. Several villages comprised a clan, and several clans a tribe, at the head of which was the king. The king’s authority depended on his personal prowess and initiative, and was limited by the council of nobles, and in some tribes by the freemen.
This paragraph describing the culture of the Aryans also perfectly describes the culture of Gaelic Ireland. The clan system, the cattle economy, the power limitations of the king by nobles and freemen. The class system dividing into nobles, priests, and freemen. It seems that the Irish had preserved the culture of the ancient Indo Europeans best by this description. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaelic_IrelandAlso, I am not surprised that most Hinduism is of a different origin from Aryan region. Though some of the gods are the same there are a lot of practices and concepts that seem very alien to Indo European culture from what I read in the article. |

That was the period of the glory of subcontinent. This modern hindutva nationalism has taken india backward, and into darkness. These people got freedom from all the foreign races after 8000 years of slavery. |

from indian mythology, i like this WAR LORD, i think many people might not have heard his name. He is Ashwathamma. The name means someone's who is horse voiced Sanskritic Aswha means horse. The myth is that he has been cursed to stay alive. According to The Mahabharata, Ashwatthama means "the horse-voiced".[3] It is so called because when he was born he cried like a horse.[4] Indologists would know about him, the actual facts and hindu mythicals.  |

I like Zeus and Athena if they count.  Zeus = Ana Zeus (Zeus on high, above): the Sky Athena= (or replaced by Zeus' Hagia Sophia: Holy Wisdom) Hekate = He kata` e (the One/She) below: the Earth (Gaia)
The oldest Greek mythology recognized the human-like Above and Below, which appear anonymously as the Elohim (the Gods) in Genesis-1. A mount in Jerusalem used to be named after its temple to Zeus (Sion or Zion). Genesis-2 names Yahweh, who, as Yah or Yoh was the rain-god in the Middle East long before Moses imposed him as the only and jealous God. It's really impossible to talk about mythological and non-mythological gods, except in terms of one's own beliefs.

I worship Apollon the god of Truth, Harmony, prophecy and healing among other things. I also invoke His son Asklepios, a god specifically dedicated to healing.
