The Gauls were a collection of Celtic tribes that inhabited much of modern-day France, Belgium, and western Germany between 500 BCE and 50 BCE. Known for their warrior culture and religious practices, the Gauls worshipped gods like Taranis, the god of thunder, and Epona, the horse goddess.nnTheir myths often featured magical creatures like the banshee and forest spirits, reflecting their deep connection to the natural world. The Gauls were eventually absorbed into the Roman Empire, but their mythology lived on in European folklore.
