The document goes on to say how followers would kill their offerings, often babies, by plunging them head-first into a vat of liquid until they drowned.

Celtic Warrior god?

Kinda cool, except for that human sacrifice part. Sort of like the Reform Druids, who I understand it, have also renounced blood sacrifice.

Thanks BGHater.
The cult of Toutates is thought to have died out with the Saxon invasions of the fifth century and the introduction of Christianity.

French told to shrug off Gallic myth
The Times (U.K.) | 04/01/2002 | Adam Sage

[snip] Christian Goudineau, Professor of History at the respected College de France, says in a new book, Par Toutatis, that the Gallic people never existed and that contemporary symbols are figments of the popular imagination... His book, named after the Celtic god Toutatis, is significant because it attacks the legend that forms the basis of the modern French state. [end]
