SUCELLOS
Roman-Gaulish Good Luck God
Also known as Succellos, Sucellus
Very popular God of Prosperity and Good Fortune
He’s known as the Good Striker. This has no connection with soccer — it refers to his hammer. If you’re dying, he’ll put you out of your misery. This is the origin of the phrase ‘Three strikes and you’re out’.
On a more positive note, if he hits the ground, you’ll get plenty of prosperity and luck. And also a dented lawn.
Apart from the hammer, Sucellos is known for carrying around a large pot which is filled with goodies. Probably potatoes. Although in some regions he is known as a God of Alcohol — so he might be on his way to a bring-a-bottle party.
